Coastal vistas, medieval charm, and delicious cuisine make a trip to Croatia unforgettable.
The deep blue of the Adriatic along the shores of Croatia is often difficult to distinguish from the sky. Whether you are standing on one of the 1000+ islands dotting the sea or on the mainland where Italy and Serbia lie to the east, Slovenia and Hungary to the north, Bosnia, Herzegovina and Montenegro to the south, the history and the cultures surrounding Croatia infuse the country with customs and cuisine, architecture, and art unlike anywhere else; this country is a multifaceted gem to uncover.
Originally part of former Yugoslavia, tourism is primarily focused along the Adriatic’s coast. Rustic beauty, adventure tourism above and below the waters, medieval cities flanked by mountains are part of seven UNESCO world heritage sites make Croatia a new but exciting destination to explore. Vineyards and superb restaurants result in fine dining experiences which can be had from within the walls of a medieval castle or a seaside table where the fish was just caught, and the air is salty and full of promise.
Since Croatia joined the Schengen zone this year, an ambitious traveller could visit Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia in a day. With long slips of coastlines, some alive with vibrant music and waterfront dining, some empty to wander and dream, a day by the Adriatic here could slip into a week without feeling the passing of time.
The Romans made their mark on this land and their legacy is felt all over Croatia with the largest Roman palace in existence located here. Ancient trees tell no tales in their protected National Parks with stacked crystal blue, green and turquoise lakes where deer, wolves, brown bears, wildcats, lynx, wild boar, voles, otters, and more than 160 varied species of birds thrive. Fairy-tale castles full of fantastic tales of an often turbulent and always vibrant past dot the countryside and beckon travels to dive into the heart of this captivating country.
