Stroll the seaside path and read the bronze stars set into the stone, each honouring a Croatian who shaped science, sport or culture. You'll find Nikola Tesla, Ruđer Bošković, basketball's Dražen Petrović and beloved singer Oliver Dragojević among them. It's a gentle history lesson with the sea on one side and palms on the other.
