Plate 3. Neptune Hotel, Dubrovnik where the symposium was held<br />
Common natural landscapes in the mountainous Croatia are shown in Plate 4. The hills are deprived of<br />
vegetation due to the presence of impenetrable hard rocks without much water available for plants to grow.<br />
Roads are costly or even dangerously constructed along the rugged limestone landscape with great<br />
difficulty. Hence, boats and ships are a more common transport for the people in this country than those of<br />
cars or buses.<br />
Plate 4. Common landscape features in<br />
the limestone-dominated Croatia<br />
Limestone rocks dipping deeply into<br />
the sea at the rocky beaches shown in<br />
Plate 5 are one of the most common<br />
landscape features throughout Croatia.<br />
Neptune Hotel is constructed on<br />
limestone of this nature. For sure, the<br />
hotel is safe and sound as it is built on<br />
solid rocks.<br />
