Overview

Croatia

Overlooking the Adriatic sea, the country with the thousand islands, bays, creeks and beaches has not finished unveiling its wonders. Plains, lakes and hills spread to the East, and mountains covered in forest rise to the North. The coastline unveils a transparent sea and various white sand beaches. Other than the various landscapes, tourists will discover rich traditions and cuisine marked with a Mediterranean feeling. Cities like Zagreb, Dubrovnik or Split can be visited over a weekend, with walks around the small streets will uncover colourful architecture and a warm hearted population.

pros

  •  The climate is ideal in summer.
  •  A coastline that is thousands of miles long for swimming.
  •  Beautiful islands and 50 marinas to anchor your boat.
  •  Eleven National Parks full of hiking opportunities.

cons

  •  The Bosnian and Serbian border regions have been damaged by the war.
  •  A smile is not always easy to obtain.
  •  If you are driving, be careful on the roads. They drive quickly and overtake however and whenever they want.
  •  Sand beaches are pretty scarce.

Country Guide

Croatia Croatia, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

If you happen to visit Istria, a peninsula that is shared between Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy, you should also visit further inland. You will find beautiful hidden villages and the food is excellent here. You can find accommodation in farms, in the heart of nature. A good way to explore the country is the traditional Caïque cruise, a small wooden vessel with bunk beds that sails down the coasts and to the islands. Here you'll be able to stroll around the villages at leisure and swim in beautiful creeks. If you practice nudism, don't hesitate! You'll make friends here as nearly a third of the camping tourists are nudists in this area. There are also special Caïques reserved for nudists.

What you should know: most of the hotels in Croatia were built during the 60-70's, a blossoming period for tourism in ex-Yugoslavia. The architecture is therefore very often huge and with 1970's decoration that is not always tasteful. However, there is nothing to fault in relation to comfort. Most establishments, which were used by refugees during the civil war (1992-1995), have been renovated. However, be tolerant with concerns to eating in restaurants, as it is often all identical and quite repetitive: fish with olive oil or fried, pork and smoked ham (delicious Prsut), beef, served with potatoes and chard.
Croatian beaches are generally pebble beaches, and those that are sandy are not very pleasant, however the waters are turquoise and transparent keeping the holiday dream alive!
