Croatia is certainly blessed when it comes to the outdoors. Sparkling blue waters and pretty coastline aside, it bears mountainous landscapes and valleys, and is also home to one of the world’s most beautiful national parks—the Plitvice Lakes National Park. This UNESCO Natural Heritage Site is displays extraordinary natural beauty with its exceptionally beautiful lakes, thriving greenery and cascading waterfalls.
4. The food
Two main culinary cultures dominate Croatia: classic Mediterranean cuisine where seafood reigns, and Italian flavours with a new world twist. You will also find Central European influences with hearty meat dishes and plenty of good wine—a truly wholesome treat for the palate.
5. The history
History can hardly be boring when it is accompanied by fantastic archictectural wonders. Visit the fascinating historical sites that range from well-preserved Roman ruins in Split and Pula, to Dubrovnik’s walled old city, also known as the King’s Landing of epic fantasy series Game of Thrones fame.
