A croissant-shaped strip of unspoilt rocky coves and pine-fringed beaches, Croatia has an uneven, indented coastline that stretches for 2000km. An idyll of glistening waters, idyllic, secluded islands and charming coastal towns, it has somehow escaped the over-development of other holiday hotspots.
Croatia’s dramatic coastline includes more than 1000 islands, ranging from the cluster of islets that form the Kornati Islands, a sparsely populated National Park, to the chic and elegant Hvar, a fashionable resort that attracts a glamorous crowd. Private yachts glide effortlessly from island to island, luxury cruise liners dock in the mariners and day excursions explore uninhabited archipelagos.
A melting pot of Mediterranean culture, Croatia echoes with a blend of Roman, Venetian, Italian and Austro-Hungarian influences and oozes history. Dubrovnik, a pristine city of narrow, winding streets, is often described as “the pearl of the Adriatic”. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it has some beautiful architecture, such as the small ocean-view cafes - with diving and sunbathing platforms - that have been built into the city walls. Spilt, the largest city on the Adriatic coast, features another World Heritage Site, the beautiful Diocletian’s Palace.
From the coastal fishing villages of Zadar and Trogir to the lively party resort Novalja, the lush pine forests to the golden sand beaches, Croatia is country overflowing with natural beauty, history and culture.
