I like your writing style.
If the article would have been a little bit longer, you could have published it in the main travel guides section and I would have put it on the frontpage. This gives your writing a lot more exposure. You may want to think about it for your next article
Let me contribute some pictures to the article.
The second image was taken from here:

Both images are from Zadar. Not so easy to find pictures that are not protected from posting them here.
how many words do you require an article to have before you place it on the front page that article is almost 400 words which is a good word count for an article.
Actually its 150 or more. But most are over 1000. So I guess does qualify as an article, just not to be put on the front page. For that I require at least 500-600 words. Like I said, this was a pretty good post that I would love to have seen as an article. I have linked it on the World Map as a selected forum post
so it can easily be found.
