My try

Thank you leenico and lunaperte!

Does this mean I can always use "a" when refering to a certain place (town, country, island)? Similar as "to" in English?

For example: Benvenuto a Pasman. (croatian island)

hello Xenia!
You always must use "in" when referring to countries:
Benvenuti in Croazia
But you use "a" when referring to a city, a town:
Benvenuti a Roma
Benvenuti a Spalato
About isles, I guess it depends on the case. You say "Benvenuti in Sicilia", "Benvenuti in Sardegna" but you say "Benvenuti all'isola d'Elba" or "Benvenuti alle Hawaii"... I honestly don't know whether there's a grammar rule, and I would wait for other opinions...

Ciao,

scusa se correggo, ma si dice Benvenuti in Croazia! Con gli stati si usa quasi sempre in,sia per moto a luogo che in stato in luogo...

 

[Idioteque]

Benevenuto in croazia. Spero che ti piaccia il tuo soggiorno qui.

My try

Lee, I wouldn't use this expression. It's not wrong, but I guess that the one suggested by lunaperte is much more common...

 

[Xenia]

Grazie mille!

You have been all very helpful. But now I'm just in dilemma about island... Would it help if I specify - a small island?

Teokicker, this will take me some time to translate but thank you in advance.

Prego!
I would say "Benvenuti a Pasman"... I couldn't explain why but it sounds better...
