Travel to Croatia and you will discover destination with so much to offer including good food, good wine, beautiful beaches. Charming villages and striking architecture.
Every year, more and more travellers are taking holidays in friendly, picturesque Croatia along the Adriatic coast. It has much to offer: good food, good wine, beautiful beaches, clean water, gorgeous scenery, historic cities, charming villages, striking architecture, Roman ruins and well-preserved antiquities.
Also, Croatia’s infrastructure is solid since multi-lane highways and international hotels have been built to accommodate the large number of tourists that populate the country annually. Holiday and pleasure-seekers from all over the world go to relax and enjoy the laid-back beaches and other beautiful scenery that Croatia offers.
Yachts glide up the coast and movie stars discreetly arrange to buy one of Croatia’s 1185 islands. The interior landscape is as beguiling, even though less visited. Soak in a thermal spa at Istarske Toplice in Istria. Hike through pristine forests watered by mountain streams in the west. And then there’s the culture. You’ll find a strong central European flavour in the baroque architecture of Zagreb, and Italian devotion to the good life percolates up from the coast, permeating Croatian food and style.
During holidays and festivals the country’s Slavic soul emerges, as colourfully costumed dancers whirl about to traditional folk melodies.
Croatians retain a strong attachment to the traditions that nourished the dream of independence for so long. There is a real commitment to preserving the extraordinary beauty of the coast. Whether the country can hold out against the lure of easy money is an excruciating test of its character. But, so far the signs are promising.
