A top quality small hotel overlooking the harbour in Fowey. Fabulous views from the balconied sea view rooms, and a great Michelin starred restaurant that does the best full English breakfast I've ever had (or local Kippers, which are just as good).

Don't miss the old walled town of Trogir, situated on an island. As well as being a UNESCO World Heritage site, including the Kamerlengo fort, there are some great little restaurants where you can dine on fish caught that day and cooked outdoors on a charcoal grille. Be there at sunset for some stunning views.
12 miles from Split city, approx 5 miles from Split airport
Ride the Stadtbahn (express local trains - not the U-Bahn) from Zoologischer Garten to Berlin Ostbahnhof station for a rooftop view of the many different characters of the city. Start in the heart of the old west and travel via the Tiergarten, new Berlin central station, government district, Freidrichstrasse, Museum Island and Alexanderplatz, ending up in the old East Berlin. Cheap, very frequent and clean. A good alternative is BVG Bus route 100, which links most of the same major sites and sights.
Zoologischer Garten station, just off Kurfurstendamm/Tauentzienstrasse or any S-Bahn station en route, see www.bvg.de for details of Berlin public transport
