Croatian national poet. Marulić has been called the Crown of Croatian Medieval Age, the Father of the Croatian Renaissance, and the Father of Croatian Literature.

Negotiate with your friend about your destination, say where your suggested city is located in the country. What are your interests and what will you do in that city? Say what you want to visit (squares, museums, parks, etc.). You both need to suggest a hotel to stay in, and provide information about the hotel: its location, distance from main city landmarks, price per night, etc. The accommodation search will happen during this conversation.
