With a long coastline stretching across the Adriatic Sea, Croatia is the up and coming Eastern European country featuring balmy days, turquoise waters, medieval towns and multiple UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Croatia is the one-stop country where travelers can experience a little of everything, from stunning mini islands to delicious delicacies!
5 Must-Do’s in Croatia
1. Rent a boat and go island hopping
With over 1,000 islands, a Croatian holiday isn’t complete without a sailing trip to see the best of the country’s natural elements. Discover the beauty of the Dalmatian Coast, the Blue Cave, and Hvar Island among many things, or just lie back and soak up the European sun. Some say Croatia’s white sand beaches are comparable to the Maldives! Book your island hopping tour online for the best price.
2. Get lost in Dubrovnik’s Old Town
One of the world’s most preserved medieval city, Dubrovnik Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site situated on the Dalmatian coast. Get lost wandering through cobblestone pavements to find Baroque churches, palaces, monasteries, and views of ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’.
3. Marvel at the beauty of Krka National Park
Located about 10km inland from Sibenik, you’ll find a magical place of waterfalls and turquoise waters that is Krka National Park. Here you can strip down to your bathers for dip to cool down from the summer heat (and get that perfect Insta shot!). Book your Krka day trip online for the best price!
4. Spend a day at Brač’s Golden Flat
Head over to Brač for the famous Zlatni Rat, also known as the Golden Cape or Golden Horn. This sliver of white-sand land is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, thanks to its unique and ever-changing shape and mesmerizing ombré shades of blue hues. Don’t forget to pack your swimmers for a relaxing day on the beach!
5. Explore Istria
Take a day off of Croatia’s beaches and travel northwest to find a whole different scenery. A romantic medieval town sitting atop Croatia, Istria is famed for its stunning countryside views and cuisine rivaling that of Tuscany’s. Indulge in gourmet food (known for seafood and white truffles – yumm!), fine wine, or discover cute fisherman villages like Vrsar.
