i read an article about new type of "green" tourism on Mljet -village Soline. the "village" are actually four apartments that are supported by site-friendly technologies, such as solar technologies. that way one can stay in touch with nature, they say.
what do you think about it? would you like spending your holidays that way?
personally, it sounds nice and all, but staying in touch with nature... hm... doesn´t sound as some extra strong reason for visiting it. i mean, every walk and hike and dive can, in that way, also be considered staying in touch with nature. dunno

why not
it might be so unusual, different, life-changing (ok, now i´m kidding)...
seriously, it might be nice to try out something new, one might even end up liking it
and,when it comes to hiking, diving and other outdoor activities, well, i don´t regard them as staying in touch with nature, but rather as a healthy way of living

actually, village Soline aren´t just four houses as you implied it, Jackie, but it´s only four houses included in this type of tourism.
The village itself was founded by Sršen family in 1825 and it is named after the salt that Benedictines collected here back in 17. century.
