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.
Easter is celebrated with fervor in Catholic Croatia especially in Dalmatia. In some ways it is considered more religious and more serious than Christmas.
New Year is celebrated here on the eve of 31st December and on 1st of January every year in many countries of the world. New Year is celebrated to say good bye to the previous year and welcome the coming year. This day is quite famous throughout the world. People from all castes and creed come together to celebrate this day.
