"In search of the latest Mediterranean
hot spot? Henry Alford found it in the medieval city
of Dubrovnik and on the gorgeous Dalmatian islands,
he discovered a cultural and culinary wonderland."
"After taking in the cultural highlights-what
may have been Europe's first pharmacy, and the Gothic-Renaissance
Rector's Palace-I headed for lunch at Atlas
Club Nautika, long considered the city's best
restaurant. Nautika is located in a somewhat gloomy
19-th century naval academy just outside of the city's
massive drawbridge equipped gates; two floors of formal
dining rooms spill out onto lovely, sunny terraces
overlooking the water."
"On Nautika's upper terrace, I ordered a chef's
salad with scampi, and shrimp in garlic parsley sauce.
It instantly became clear why many people, including
Italians, point out that the bottom of the Adriatic
of Croatia is rocky instead of muddy and think Croatia's
seafood superior to Italy's."
