Ever thought about visiting Croatia? If not, you're in for a delightful surprise. Steeped in captivating history, jaw-dropping scenery, and unique experiences, Croatia is the ultimate destination you've been dreaming of. Here's why this Mediterranean marvel should be at the top of your travel bucket list.
Amazing Coastline and Islands
Picture this: crystal-clear waters lapping against stunning pebbled beaches, picturesque coastlines begging for exploration, and over 1,200 islands ready for adventure. Croatia offers all this and more. The UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Split and Dubrovnik have ancient ruins and Roman palaces to explore.
For a more active escapade, dive into the Adriatic Sea for wind or kite surfing, or hire a boat and hop from island to island. Each spot has its own unique charm. A road trip along the Croatian coastline is a perfect way to end your day with a refreshing swim in the sea.
Rich History and Culture
Everywhere you go in Croatia, history whispers from its ancient walls. Explore the well-preserved Roman architecture at Split’s Diocletian’s Palace. Dubrovnik’s city walls double as King’s Landing for "Game of Thrones" fans, adding a layer of excitement as old blends with new.
Many of Croatia's larger islands boast thousands of years of architecture and art, influenced by Greek settlers, Romans, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Natural Wonders and Outdoor Fun
Croatia isn’t just about the coast. With eight national parks, including the magnificent Plitvice Lakes National Park with its 16 lakes and stunning waterfalls, nature lovers will find themselves in paradise. Outdoor adventurers can bike, hike, or even raft down one of Croatia's rivers, adding an extra thrill to your trip.
Festivals, Food, and Wine
Croatia is a haven for foodies. Enjoy fresh, seasonal ingredients and ancient recipes by the Adriatic Sea, indulging in freshly grilled fish and seafood that will tantalize your taste buds. Venture inland for hearty meat dishes and casseroles.
Don’t miss out on the local wines, produced since the Ancient Greeks cultivated the land. Follow vineyard trails, tour cellars, and meet the passionate producers for an authentic Croatian experience.
For music lovers, Croatia hosts world-class festivals like Ultra Europe and Fresh Island Festival. Dance the night away and enjoy live music on secluded beaches, making unforgettable memories under the stars.
Easy Access and Perfect Climate
Getting to Croatia is a breeze. With cities like Split, Dubrovnik, and Pula just a short flight away, you’ll find yourself on the beach and soaking up the sun in no time. The Dalmatian coast offers hot, dry summers perfect for sunbathing, and mild winters that are just right for exploring.
Game of Thrones locations
Although “Game of Thrones” wasn’t filmed exclusively in Croatia, there are LOTS of filming locations in this country. Some of the highlights: Minceta Tower, the Bokar Fortress, and the Trsteno Arboretum in Dubrovnik. Split has the Diocletian’s Palace, Klis Fortress, and Zrnovnica. This country is full of great film spots from the popular series.
