Celebrities in Croatia 2005
Croatian islands have been celebrities playground for
decades, even centuries. After all, the Roman emperor Diocletian built a palace in what's today the city centre of
Split, as his holiday villa way back in the 4th century. This beautiful coastline and islands continue to attract
celebrities even more today.

Croatia's beautiful coastline attracts celebrities
It's one of the most beautiful coastlines in Europe, dotted
with numerous seaside towns and cities, hundreds of Mediterranean islands and one of the cleanest seas, the
Adriatic Sea.
So, it's no surprise that even today modern celebrities,
actors, billionaires, and even royalty are visiting Croatia and
in particular Dubrovnik for their holiday, or
simply to keep up with the rest of them.
It is rumoured that the likes
of celebrities such as Bill Gates, Sharon Stone, Elke Sommer, Bernie Ecclestone, Prince Charles & Family,
Princess Caroline of Monaco, Benneton Senior, Clint Eastwood and many others have visited and cruised around
Croatian islands
aboard their luxury yachts over the years.
Mr Gates has apparently even
expressed an interest in purchasing an island here, although nothing has been confirmed or denied publicly. There's
no doubt that 'rich and famous' find Croatia and its islands particularly interesting and
fascinating.
