Croatia: Dive into a Paradise of Beauty and History
There is no shortage of wonders to create a tailor-made trip to Croatia. Traveling in Croatia means offering yourself 1,800 km of coastline, coves, and pebble beaches bathed by a warm sea in turquoise waters and overlooked by pine forests. A stay in Croatia would not be complete without visiting the thousand Croatian islands and islets, about fifty of which are inhabited, festive islands like Hvar or Pag, natural reserves like the island of Mljet and its mongooses, romantic ones like Galesnjak, the island of love, bucolic ones like the island of Korcula dotted with vineyards and olive groves, or even paradisiacal ones like the island of Brac and its famous Zlatni Rat beach shaped like a comma, one of the most beautiful in Europe, an ode to idleness and swimming.
Visiting Croatia also means delving into the hinterland to discover the wooded mountains of the Dinaric Alps and a plethora of plains, lakes, and hills. A host of natural sites perfect for hiking and contemplation, embodied primarily by the fantastic Plitvice Lakes with its hundreds of wonderfully tiered waterfalls, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the country's eight national parks where you will have the opportunity, as in the Velebit mountains, to observe numerous wild animals including brown bears, wolves, lynxes, wild cats, and even deer.
Then there are the cities of Croatia, rich in a magnificent historical heritage such as the ruins of Emperor Diocletian's palace in Split. Visiting the country's architectural marvels will lead you to Zagreb, the Croatian capital, Pula, Zadar, Sibernik, or even Trogir.
An enchanting blend of cultures and landscapes
Geographical crossroads of the Balkans, a trip to Croatia will offer you a charming mix of Slavic, Latin, Germanic, and even Turkish cultures, after four centuries spent in proximity to the Ottoman Empire. This crescent-shaped country, immersed in the Adriatic Sea, will captivate history enthusiasts and nature lovers. You will have a successful vacation in the former Yugoslavia.
Must-sees to Discover Croatia
South of Zagreb, Plitvice National Park is the most visited site in the country, and it's easy to see why at first glance. A majestic sequence of about twenty lakes that cascade into each other. It's one of the 7 wonders of the natural world, listed as a world heritage site. A paradise-like place that one never tires of exploring with family or friends. It's truly a must-see when traveling in Croatia.
On the Adriatic coast to the south, Dubrovnik awaits you, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe with its 16th-century walls, palaces, churches, Franciscan monasteries, Roman amphitheater, medieval streets paved with white marble, and Gothic fountains. A fortified city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and chosen as a filming location by the producers of Game of Thrones.
Off the coast of Split, the island of Hvar is one of the sunniest spots in Europe. Known for its vineyards, olive groves, and lavender fields as much as for its cultural programming. All year round, there are carnivals, concerts, and festive evenings of all kinds by the crystal-clear water. A distillation of the pleasures that a holiday in Croatia can offer.
Explore Croatia Off the Beaten Path
The Kornati Islands, located off the coast of Zadar and Dalmatia, form an archipelago of 150 islands, nearly a hundred of which are completely deserted. They cover three hundred square kilometers of bare and preserved land, with coves bathed by crystal-clear waters inhabited by hundreds of varieties of fish. These islands are ideal for exploration, snorkeling, and swimming.
To the east of the country, between the Danube and the Drava, lies the Kopacki Rit Nature Park, nicknamed "the Amazon of Europe." This 180 km² nature park is so rich in flora and fauna that it is part of the UNESCO biosphere reserve. It is a sanctuary composed of lakes, marshes, and alluvial forests that can be explored by boat.
In Slavonia, Croatian cuisine is not limited to olive oil. This agricultural region in the northeast of the country is renowned for its culinary specialties, such as fish stew, spicy sausage called kulen, and cakes filled with apples and walnuts.
