Experience a land of breathtaking natural beauty, a fascinating history and a rich cultural heritage.
Croatia is a country that has endured much of late. But after
more than a decade of civil and political unrest, it has once again emerged as
a popular tourist destination.
It is fast becoming one of Europe's top seaside destinations.
But it’s also steeped in history as is seen in the stunning walled cities of Dubrovnik, Spilt and Trogir which all overlook the clear
blue waters of the Adriatic.
Its magnificent Dalmatian coastline boasts more than 1000
islands, islets and reefs and on land its Roman ruins and picturesque medieval
villages makes it a worthy rival to the Greek islands. Croatia is a superb
destination for lovers of fun, sun, local colour, great food and history.
For those who are more interested in culture than sea and
sun, the vibrant capital Zagreb is sited on the slopes of Medvednica Mountain
along the banks of the Sava River in the northern part of Croatia. Although
being modernised (with a distinct European feel) its core is the preserved
medieval city, known as Gradec and Kaptol.
As well as stunning beaches and
picturesque villages, Croatia is also becoming a very popular destination for
the more adventurous traveller. The rugged mountain ranges of Northern Velebit National
Park are a great draw for hikers and rock climbers while the Cetina Valley offers
challenging white-water rafting. If you
enjoy your winter sports, Croatia is also becoming recognised as an excellent
location for skiing, especially the resorts of Bjelolasica, Platak and Velika.
All in all Croatia is a European
jewel just waiting to be explored. Its people are friendly and welcoming, its countryside
stunning and diverse and its coastline an exquisite location for relaxation.
Croatia’s official unit of currency
is the Kuna (HRK). You will find ATMs are plentiful throughout the country and
banks, authorised bureaux de change, post offices or most hotels will exchange
foreign currency or travellers cheques. Major credit cards are widely accepted
at the main hotels and restaurants.
