Croatia is a country located in Central Europe. It's voted the 18th most popular travel destination in the world. This idyllic and historically rich country deserves to be one of the top holiday destinations in the world! The country is at the forefront of Central Europe in terms of education, health, quality of life and economic vitality.

Croatia borders Hungary, Montenegro, and Serbia, and is surrounded by Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, and this cultural diversity is reflected in architecture, cooking, art, and literature. Mediterranean influences from Greece and Italy are most evident in the coastal areas.

The Adriatic coast is undoubtedly the most popular tourist destination in Croatia and a mecca for those seeking sun, sailing and sea. It has the most tortuous coastline in Europe, with 1185 islands and islets, of which only 66 are inhabited!

Dalmatia is full of nature, ancient towns and a series of long, beautiful beaches. Every location is unique. It is known for its quality wines and friendly people and offers some amazing Croatian beach holidays.

Split, the largest Croatian city on the Adriatic coast, includes the incredible World Heritage Site of Diocletian's Palace, and it's worth a visit! It's probably one of the best things to do in Croatia. If you have more time, it is recommended that you take a stroll along the renovated promenade, or head to the western end of town, where there is a huge wooded mountain park with beach views.

Dubrovnik is a medieval city surrounded by imposing walls, which Lord Byron called the "Pearl of the Adriatic" When you visit Dubrovnik, you'll see why it's called that! Lots of cobblestone streets, incredible monuments and well-decorated museums all add to the atmosphere. Stop by a local restaurant for one of the most delicious seafood you'll ever eat. Fans of the hit TV series Game of Thrones will also recognize this as one of the main filming locations.

Hvar is probably one of the most fascinating stops on the Croatian Dalmatia cruise line, and you'll see several superyachts moored there in Hva, and maybe some celebrities too! It definitely earns its status as the sunniest and greenest island in Croatia and is said to have nearly 114 days of sunshine a year!

The Old Town on the island of Korcula is very charming and looks like a miniature version of Dubrovnik. The island includes dark, dense forests, which gave it its original name, Korkyra Melaina, coves, and rolling hills. Kokula is definitely the highlight of any trip to Croatia, with plenty of opportunities to swim in serenity on the island's many beaches. It is also home to some of the best local olive oils.

Mljet Island is a nature lover's paradise. There's a reason why Mljet Island National Park is the island's main attraction. As the island was virtually untouched before, thanks to the establishment of a national park in 1960, the island is covered in forest. Arguably the most beautiful island in Croatia. Renting a bike to explore the pine forest, kayaking on the calm lake, or even shopping at the small but well-stocked supermarket will keep you busy and interesting on your trip to Mljet.
