Croatia

Croatia stretches along the Adriatic and is home to over 1,000 islands – some of which are among the most charming in Europe. The country is also home to 7 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which include dramatic, centuries-old towns that continue to win the hearts of travellers as well as filmmakers for their magnificence and well-preserved architecture.

The Croatian countryside offers an abundance in natural beauty, with numerous old-world wine regions that date back to Ancient Greek settlers. Besides offering an impressive history with numerous sites that you can visit and admire up close, Croatia is a cultural melting pot – it’s right at the intersection between Central and Southeast Europe, bordering countries like Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, and Montenegro.
