Vacation in Croatia

According to Countryaah, Croatia is located on the east coast of the Adriatic Sea, off whose coast there are more than 1,000 islands, only 47 of which are inhabited. Tourist attractions include Rovinji, Dubrovnik, Krk and the Plitvice Lakes.

On the mainland, the most popular destinations for vacation are the cities of Rovinji and Dubrovnik.

Rovinj

Rovinj is located on the west coast of Istria. This city is particularly well-known for its marine biological station, which initially only served to collect marine animals, but over time has developed into an important station for exploring the Adriatic and the Mediterranean. Because of this and because of the many wrecks, Rovinji is not just a paradise for diversbut it is also an appealing area to vacation. In the city itself you can mainly visit the old town. The city center is located on a peninsula. There are also thirteen other islands. They are easy to reach by boat and are ideal for diving and swimming. The tourist offer includes a number of sporting activities such as diving, sailing, rowing, windsurfing and water skiing; but also bike paths and many sports fields are available.

Port city of Dubrovnik

Another destination for a vacation is the city of Dubrovnik, which is often referred to as the ” Pearl of the Adriatic ” and the “Croatian Athens”. The city is located in the south of Croatia on the Adriatic Sea. If you spend your vacation in Dubrovnik, you have to visit the old town, which was included in the list of world cultural heritage by UNESCO in 1979.

Plitvice National Park – Plitvice Lakes in Croatia

The Plitvice Lakes are the treasure trove of Croatia. The lakes glitter turquoise in the sunlight. Waterfalls tumble and the rapids roar. The unique natural landscape, which consists of 16 large and small lakes, has already inspired the producers of the Karl May films. In addition to the lakes, the Supljara pecina cave, which is located above Jezero Kaluđerovac, is known from the films. The Plitvice Lakes are the oldest and most famous national park in Croatia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The impressive natural landscape is worth a trip, which already inspired Pierre Brice and Lex Barker during the filming of The Treasure in Silbersee and Winnetou 2 and 3.

Island of Krk

Another very popular holiday destination is the island of Krk, the second largest island in the Adriatic. It is often called “the golden city” because of its natural wealth and has been connected to the mainland by a bridge since 1980 and can therefore be reached without a ferry. Most of the beaches on Krk are pebble beaches, but there are only a few sandy beaches A pure bathing holiday on these beaches, Krk also offers many options for excursions, such as the Biserujka cave in the east of the island or the small island of Kosljun.

Croatian cuisine

The Dalmatian cuisine is particularly popular with its fish specialties and grilled dishes such as Cevapcici, Raznjici or Pljeskavice.
