 With
over a thousand islands spread around the Adriatic Sea, there is so much
to experience. The best way to see what Croatia has to offer is by island
hopping across the amazing Island that you will find upon your arrival.
As well as the islands, there are many exciting cities to explore and with
Croatia being divided into 21 counties, you have a selection of places
to choose from.
Some of the largest islands
include the Brijuni Islands and Kornati archipelago which are national
parks and Krk has an international airport. The largest island by area
is Cres and is one of the northern islands and is a must see if you visit
Croatia as it has beautiful scenery and blue waters is great for families.
The Croatian Islands are great to visit and offers a different view of
Croatian life; they are tranquil and are ideal for families looking for
a fantastic holiday.
When visiting various countries,
many people tend to only go to the large cities and the capital. When travelling
to Croatia , you should aim to see as much as you can because all cities
and towns vary in their offering to visitors. The capital, Zagreb, is the
largest city in the country and has over a million inhabitants and has
become modernised recently and most of the Croatian trade is centred in
Zagreb.
If you prefer your historic
cities then Dubrovnik has to be on your list of places to see. The city
is one of six cities in the country that has been included in the UNESCO
list of world heritage sites and it an extremely interesting place to visit.
Dubrovnik hosts many arts, musical and theatre events each year and is
a hot-spot for tourists; the Dubrovnik Summer Festival is superb event
which lasts for an entire month with many artists entertaining the public
with varying concerts and plays. The city has an international airport
of its own and is approximately 20km from the city centre, car hire is
available from the airport as well as buses which take tourists from the
airport to the centre.
