The Education System in Croatia
Children as young as one year old can be enrolled in the kindergartens though this is not compulsory. Most of the 450 kindergartens are state run and integrated with primary schools and some are privately run.
Easter in Croatia
Easter is celebrated with fervor in Catholic Croatia especially in Dalmatia. In some ways it is considered more religious and more serious than Christmas.
Croatian Wine
Wine in Croatia has a long, long history. It was the Greek settlers who first introduced vineyards to the Croatian coast in the 5th century BC and wine production has flourished ever since. During the Homeland War, many wineries and vineyards were destroyed but the winemaking industry has rushed back.
