Croatia
Croatia has retained its own distinctive character, and that is precisely what makes it such an interesting travel destination. In many parts of the country, time seems to have stood still, and tradition and culture continue to play an important role in people’s everyday lives. In many fishing villages and small towns, you can still experience traditional Croatian life and enjoy the hospitality of the locals. Croatia has countless beautiful beaches, perfect not only for a seaside holiday but also for a variety of water sports. Most Croatian beaches have been awarded the Blue Flag, as the water quality is excellent and the beaches are all very clean. Croatia is also an ideal destination for sailors, with more than 1,000 small islands lying just off its coast. The Adriatic coastline is deeply indented, so you can also find secluded coves for swimming. In Dubrovnik, Split and Zagreb, you can admire numerous historic buildings, and these cities also have plenty to offer anyone interested in culture. Croatia’s unique natural beauty can be experienced especially in Plitvice Lakes National Park and Biokovo Nature Park. Plitvice Lakes is even a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts around one million visitors each year. Croatia is also home to numerous old castles and fortresses, while several thermal spas inland offer a relaxing getaway. The country has some excellent wine-growing regions, and Croatian cuisine is another must during your holiday. Here, we’d like to keep you up to date with news from Croatia.
