Croatia is a true hidden gem of the Mediterranean that is getting its world recognition in the last years, mainly thanks to the work of the Croatian Tourist Board and the help of the EU. It doesn't have a large population (app. 4 million), but with more than 1200 islands, reefs, caves, and bays, it has one the largest sea lines in the world!

Croatia is perfect for a quiet holiday, enjoying the untouched nature, Mediterranean climate, more than 100 crystal clear beaches with the Blue Flag achievement, 7 national parks, 15 locations protected by UNESCO, and much more. So choosing any of the Adriatic destinations, you won't regret it!

A small country ideal for a summer vacation!

So if you're planning on visiting Croatia, this is what you should see. We recommend visiting the Plitvice and Rastoke lakes, „The Croatian Niagara,” which offers a magnificent combination of wildlife, nature, and 16 turquoise lakes that make a magnificent natural portrait you will never forget. Also, you can visit 6 more national parks, including Krka waterfalls, Brijuni, and Risnjak, known for its biodiversity of flora and fauna; the Odyseuss „Green Island” of Mljet, the longest mountain of Velebit or the Paklenica – you choose, you won't regret it.

Summer holidays in Croatia are a time machine to the Antic times and long-forgotten history

Croatia has a glorious history that takes you back to the Antic times since many cities have been built on the ruins of once Greek and Roman colonies. One of those places is Istra, the biggest Croatian peninsula that offers the beautiful town of Pula that has its own Colosseum, the Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč, or the picturesque villages of Motovun and Umag.

If you're heading to Dalmatia, you should visit the Diocletian's Palace and the sandy beach Bačvice, two recognizable symbols of Split, the second biggest city in Croatia that is 1700 years old. Then you should stop at the antique ruins of Salona just a couple of kilometers away. Next, the beautiful coastal towns of Trogir and Omiš with untouched city cores are living proof of the Ancient way of fitted into the Mediterranean surroundings of today's life. Finally, you can't miss out on the Makarska Riviera, the Croatian "Côte d'Azur," and Dubrovnik, the number one tourist destination in Croatia that you will recognize if you're a Game of Thrones or a regular everyday movie fan.

Adriatic islands offer a true traveler experience

But, for true experience this summer, you should head to one of the many islands Croatia has to offer.

Those islands are the Croatian „Ibiza” that attract thousands of party lovers to our beautiful islands.
