Amazing coastline

Croatia may not be the first place you think of for a sunny holiday and yet, the coast is stunningly beautiful. And the great thing is, because many of the most beautiful cities are along the coast, it warrants a road trip! After a day in the car you can go for a refreshing swim in the crystal clear water. If you’d prefer something more active, the Adriatic Sea is perfect for diving, wind or kite surfing.

Fascinating culture & cities

As soon as you arrive in Croatia, you feel the country’s rich history. You find yourself among the ancient ruins, buildings and castles. In Rijeka you can climb the 550 steps to Trsat Castle. And you can visit the best preserved Roman palace in the world in Split. Zadar & Dubrovnik are famous for their beautiful, historic city centres. The old centre of Dubrovnik is even one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Over 1,200 islands

Besides the amazing Croatian coastline, the country has over 1,200 islands. Some are no bigger than a rock, but many are more than worth a visit. Each island has its own character: so, nature lovers often go to Plavnik, Susac or Kornati. And Losinj is known for dolphin spotting. Tip: Hire a jet ski, boat or catamaran in a coastal town and visit the islands off the coast.

Festival tent

Summer festivals

Many know Croatia due to the fantastic festivals organised in the country. And with good reason, Croatia has even been voted Europe’s best destination for music festivals! Why? Due to the often spectacular locations, beautiful beaches and relatively cheap drinks. Famous festivals are the Outlook Festival, Ultra Europe, Dimensions Festival… And if there doesn’t happen to be a festival on when you go to Croatia, no worries. You can dance to your heart’s content in the bustling nightlife.

Incredible nature & waterfalls

Croatia has stunningly beautiful greenery and numerous spectacular waterfalls and nature parks. For instance, from Zadar you can travel to Plitvice National Park in 1 1/2 hours. It is one of the most beautiful nature parks in Europe! And where you will find 16 lakes, some as deep as 46 metres and over 400 metres long. A breathtaking landscape stretches from north to south. There’s almost too much to see in one trip. Decide what you would like to see and fly to your favourite destination. So, what are you waiting for?

Indulgently affordable

You want to eat well when on holiday and the Croatian cuisine will not let you down. It is all about fresh, seasonal ingredients, traditions and ancient recipes. Encircled by the Adriatic Sea, along the coast you can of course enjoy freshly grilled fish and light dishes suited to the warm weather. Travelling further inland, you will notice more meat and casseroles on the menu. Local wine with your meal? No problem. Or even a beer, a pint won’t cost you much at all. Cheers!

Backdrop for an active holiday

Want a bit of action? Croatia will not disappoint on that front either. If you want, you could do something different every day of your holiday. It’s a great place for wind and kite surfing, sailing and diving. Or even rafting on one of the many rivers. When you’ve had enough of the water, you can hire a bike or put on your hiking boots. The many mountains offer plenty of sporting challenges for all levels. In Istria, you will find well-maintained cycle paths, whereas adventurous mountain bikers are better off going to Dalmatia.
