Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is a real pearl of the Adriatic. This beautiful town can be found, perhaps, on almost the covers of all tourist brochures and catalogs inviting people to Croatia. For its colorful tiled roofs, massive fortress walls and cobblestone streets, travelers begin to plan their visit to this country. And UNESCO considers Dubrovnik one of the 3 most beautiful Renaissance towns in all of Europe.
Plitvice Lakes
Plitvice Lakes National Park is a natural park with cascading lakes and waterfalls. It is located in Central Croatia, away from the tourist trail, but this does not prevent it from being one of the most visited natural parks in all of Europe. Neat paths were laid out here for guests, routes of different times were thought out, and the most beautiful points were decorated with convenient viewing platforms.
Rovinj
This small town on the peninsula of Istria is sometimes called the most fabulous, sometimes the most romantic. However, we can say with confidence that this is the most Italian city in Croatia. For many centuries it was under the patronage of Venice, absorbing its royalty. Once upon a time, Jules Verne chose it as a prototype for his works. And now travel agencies are happy to recommend these places for honeymoon trips.
Baredine Cave
The underground world of Baredine will take you to an 80-meter depth through 5 illuminated halls decorated with amazing miraculous sculptures — stalactites and stalagmites — formed over thousands and thousands of years. At the very bottom you will find underground lakes that go far into the depths and are accessible only to speleologists. And ordinary tourists will be able to marvel at the transparent salamanders, which are also called “human fish.”
Korčula
The island of Korcula in southern Croatia is completely covered with pine forests and lush Mediterranean vegetation. The steep shores here give way to charming coves with pebble beaches and small ancient towns. Perhaps this is one of the most beautiful islands in all of Croatia. It is separated from the mainland only by a small strait, through which ferries constantly scurry.
Ancient Roman amphitheater in Pula
Roman Forum in Pula — one of the brightest and most memorable sights. It was built back in the 1st century AD. Among similar buildings, it is considered one of the largest in the world, as well as the best preserved among the entire architectural heritage of Ancient Rome.
Roads of Croatia
Roads in Croatia are a separate attraction of this country. A highway connecting the north and south runs almost along the entire coast. It meanders along serpentine roads along steep banks along picturesque bays, colorful towns and wild beaches and can make inexperienced drivers nervous. But once you get used to the road, the only thing you will long for is at least one small stop to take a few photos with beautiful views of the coast.
Krka National Park
The cascades of 7 lakes ending with a powerful waterfall, ancient monasteries and a museum village surrounded by picturesque landscapes naturally became a magnet for tourists. During the season, small ships from the coast go here, and the main yacht routes also lie here. A bonus to visiting this park will be the opportunity to swim in the cool waters of the river of the same name overlooking the waterfall.
Trogir
The historical part of Trogir, located on the island, impresses with its ancient buildings, palaces, cathedrals, winding streets and well-preserved fortresses. This city can rightfully be called an open-air museum. And local residents organize concerts and even small costume shows in the squares in the evenings, not so much for tourists, but for the soul.
Blue Cave o. Vis
This amazing natural wonder is located on one of the most remote islands of Croatia from the mainland – the island of VIS. But getting to the court is definitely worth it. The bizarre shapes of a sea cave, which can only be reached by a small rowing boat, hang over the surface of the water and during the day, when the sun shines brightly, everything inside is magically filled with an amazing blue light.
Croatia is beautiful and diverse. There is something to see here for nature lovers, connoisseurs of architectural monuments, those who prefer active recreation, or classic vacationers who dream exclusively of the beach. Everyone will find something of their own. And everyone will definitely want to come back here.
