Holidays To Croatia

Located in the fascinating crossroads of the Central Europe, the Balkans and the Mediterranean, Croatia offers stunning natural beauty, culture and heritage in South Eastern Europe. Croatia is home to eight National Parks ranging from lush islands and beautiful waterfalls to giant mountains. Plitvi?ka jezera National Park is Croatia's best known national park and the only one listed in the UNESCO World Heritage list. Unique in the world, this beautiful park features 16 lakes which are joined by waterfalls created by a special type of limestone. Visitors to Plitvi?ka jezera can also enjoy various caves, springs and pretty colourful flora. The brown bear remains the king of the park among many other protected species. Croatia's beauty does not stop in nature; various little towns, villages and ports form an important part of the country's history with their postcard-perfect narrow lanes, museums, fairy-like fortresses and castles. Discover the Renaissance in Osor on the island of Cres (where day trips are available) or the jewel in Croatia's crown, the old town of Dubrovnik (a UNESCO Heritage site). This late-medieval town in the southern Croatia dates back to 13th century boasting rich culture and heritage. Very little has changed since within the impressive city walls that have protected the town for centuries - an afternoon stroll and a visit to one of many local coffee houses in the old town is a popular pastime for visitors.

Croatia declared independence in 1991 and has since become an exciting and affordable holiday destination. Azur Adriatic Sea and miles of beautiful coastline in the south-west and the dramatic Dinara mountain range in the east divides this beautifully diversity country's coastal region from its continental part. Over thousand miles of coastline and over thousand islands and isles, Croatia guarantees a relaxing beach holiday experience for the entire family. Experience hundreds of beaches, unspoilt bays and historical harbours and marinas when visiting Croatia.

If clear blue skies and endless coastal scenery is not enough, visit some of the artisan shops to pick up souvenirs or indulge in Croatian music - a type of pop music by Dalmatian or Slovenian folk elements. Food lovers will enjoy a real mixture of different cuisine influenced by the Greeks, Romans, Italian and French. Try fresh, mouth-watering oysters and mussels, followed by Dalmatian stew (it takes two days to prepare!) and wash your typical coastal supper down with locally produced wines such as Malvasia.

The coastal areas enjoy pleasant Mediterranean climate with warm and sunny summers and mild and wet winters.
