While I was recently visiting Croatia on a property buying excursion, I headed out to the island of Hvar for a few days to relax and forget about things for a while. Whilst wandering around the old square, I came across a sign for a company offering adventure tours. I opted for one of their slightly less adventurous options, a sailing trip to the isalnd of Vis. I have to say, I had an absolutely fabulous day - the crew were so friendly, Vis was amazing, and I even had a go at steering the boat! So, if you're on Hvar and fancy something a bit different, be sure to look them up!
I was recently in Trogir/Ciovo looking to buy a property there. I've been visiting Ciovo regularly over the last 5 or 6 years, and have grown very fond of the place, so finally decided I should look for a place of my own there (of course, if I'd have bought somewhere when I initially visited I could have saved myself a lot of money!).
I viewed with a few local agents, who I have to say were rather pushy, and then I viewed with Advantage. They're a small company, very friendly and very helpful. I found a place I wanted, they arranged all the paperwork, lawyers etc, and even helped with furnishing and insurance and stuff. I'm now the happy owner of a nice 1 bed I can share with my friends and family. So all in all a big thumbs up - they were such nice guys I figure I'll give them some free publicity!
