Travel Croatia Guide

Croatia is a Central European country on the Adriatic Sea. Croatia's long and beautiful coastline border's Italy's and the weather there is some of the sunniest in the world. Bordered by Slovenia and Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia is best known for its rocky history. Communism and the Bosnian invasion of the early 1990’s have left Croatia somewhat tattered; but as its efforts to join the European union strengthen, things are looking up for beautiful Croatia.

Croatia's Capital city is Zagreb, is one of Central Europe's great pleasures and is quickly gaining the popularity recently afforded to Prague and Budapest. Zagreb is an old city in which one will find thousand-year old stone houses, winding cobblestone roads lit by gas lamps and quaint cafés.

Zagreb is called the "City of Museums" as it has more museums per square Kilometer than any city in the world! As Zagreb modernizes, the "new" section of the city grows upwards with skyscrapers and internationally with world-wide chain stores. A quaint and historic city, this overlooked treasure is a real treat to visit.

Croatia's gorgeous and extensive coastline makes it a popular summer vacations spot for travelers from all over Europe, many of whom subsequently end up buying a property in Istria or Dalmatia, to name just two of the more popular regions for holiday home buys in Croatia.  One of the sunniest coastlines in Europe, the Croatian stretches nearly 3,000 miles including the coasts of neighboring islands.  The coast breaks off into a series of almost 2,000 small islands surrounded by cliffs and reefs. The climate on the coast is Mediterranean and a beach holiday in Croatia is an affordable and unique alternative to Italy or Greece.   

A Croatian vacation may include skiing, diving, kayaking, hiking and cycling. The untouched wilderness of Croatia's interior is filled with endless trails and organized biking trips will bring you through the picturesque, hilly green countryside with stops for local wine and cheese. Visit the Unesco World Heritage Site, Plitvice Lakes, on the Coast. This national park consists of a series of 16 lakes connected by stunning waterfalls and is like no other place in the world. Try trekking Mt. Biokovo or the Velebit mountains for breathtaking views.

The many interesting areas of Croatia are easily accessed by a recently improved rail line and an extensive bus system. Everywhere you go in Croatia has something to offer, whether it be the deep blue coast or the green mountains; Croatia is one of Europe's secret beauties waiting to be unveiled.
