The part of Croatia that is best known and most visited by tourists is the Dalmatian coast and its islands in the Adriatic Sea.
This region has a Mediterranean type of climate with mild winters and warm, sometimes even hot and sunny summers.
Coffee drinking is one of Croatia's favorite pastimes. It's generally done with friends or family at a caf;, which is the local neighborhood meeting place for most Croatians, much like the pub in Ireland. Locals have perfected the art of "taking a coffee", as it is called, often making a single coffee last for hours.
Under socialism, all citizens had access to medical care, and this is still the case. Physicians begin training at the start of their university education. The usual period of training for a physician is six years.
