Croatia

Croatia

A country of dramatic mountainous landscapes and dreamy deep-blue seascapes, Croatia is now easier to visit than ever before. Tourism here has a long history – there are traces of Roman summer villas on the Dalmatian islands – but it was first developed on a large scale during the Yugoslav era, when big modern resort hotels, equipped with excellent sports facilities, were built along the Croatian coast. Sports were, and still are, tremendously important.

Travelers who are in search of history and culture, city destinations such as Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Split and Zadar offer Roman, Byzantine, Venetian and Austro-Hungarian monuments can be the best.

This combination of timeless unspoilt nature coupled with beautifully preserved centuries-old architecture and a lively contemporary cultural scene, including an ever-growing number of electronic and alternative music festivals, promises rewarding memories for anyone who wishes to explore it now.
