DRAGON EYE

Facts about the dragons eye lake.

Legends about the Dragon's Eye Lake – heroes, dragons and aliens
There are a couple of local legends about this lake. The legend which gave the lake its name talks about the dragon Murin. Murin was the son of goddess Hera and Poseidon, the god of sea, born out of wedlock. Poseidon ruled the Vela Smokvica island and protected the people of land. But, in return, Murin asked to make the prettiest girl his wife. He would then kill her on their first wedding night. One day, Aristol appeared, the grandson of Jason the Argonaut, and fell in love with a girl who was supposed to be the next victim of Murin. Aristol challenged the dragon to a duel of spears. The spear was forged by god Hephaestus. In his last moments, the deadly wounded dragon took out his own eyes and threw one over the island of Mljet and the other fell under his feet and melted stone. The sea poured in where his eye fell. Because of Aristol and his bride's happy ending, there is a belief that couples who take a swim in the lake will have a lifetime of happiness and love.

Another interesting, but not so romantic legend is the one about two brothers, one of which was blind. During the inheritance settlement, the other brother cheated the blind one who cursed the newly gained land. The blind brother said: ”If you didn't make an even split, let it all become a lake.” And that is how the Dragon's Eye Lake came to be.


Another interesting fact is a recent legend brings aliens into the picture. According to some, this is the place where a spaceship crashed. Every 30 years, aliens send signals to the outer space wanting to contact their planet. These signals are the reason why the lake boils and why animals and plants die.

Rogoznica – the heart of Dalmatia
If you're planning to visit the Dragon's Eye Lake during your holiday, stay in Rogoznica. Rogoznica is a town in the center of Dalmatia. A tempting atmosphere of a fisherman's Mediterranean town, valuable gastronomic offer and 56 km long coastline make Rogoznica one of the most popular tourist destinations in Dalmatia. Rogoznica is also very popular among sailors. Marina Frapa, located in Soline bay and protected from wind on all sides, has 450 well equipped berths, and 150 dry berths. Marina has a hotel, pool and a conference hall.

FACTS about CAMBODIA

How old is CAMBODIA?.

The Kingdom of Cambodia (1953–70), independent since 1953, struggled to remain neutral in a world shaped by polarisation of the nuclear powers USA and Soviet Union. As the Indochinese war escalates, Cambodia becomes increasingly involved, the Khmer Republic is one of the results in 1970, another is civil war.

how did CAMBODIA get it's name?.

The word 'Kampuchea' is derived from the Sanskrit Kambujadeśa, or Kambuja – an early tribe from northern India who oversaw huge parts of Southeast Asia ahead of the formation of the Khmer Empire. It is thought that Indian traders introduced the name when they discovered remote lands in the region.
