Destination Croatia
If you have thought for a moment that the stories about the beauty of Croatia and its tourist offer that you have increasingly been hearing are subjective, we have even more arguments that your doubts are ungrounded: the pages of best known tourist guide books and magazines, written by most renowned tourist writers contain only praises! Michelin, one of the best known publishers of
tourist guides and maps, has declared Croatia the most desired world tourist destination.
The same rating was earned by the well-known American guide books Lonely Planet, whose rating of tourist possibilities and beauties of Croatia contained only superlatives.
The journalist of the National Geographic Travel who has travelled from Zadar to the southern-most city of Dubrovnik, also proclaims Croatia as the destination where one simply has to go.
And so on, Croatian islands and towns are at the very top of attractive world destinations. Equally high marks are given to Croatian hotels, camps, marinas and travel agencies for the quality of service and organization. In one word, Croatia is a tourist hit!
Why visit Croatia?
Because ....... it is different.
With an experience of over 160 years in tourism, Croatia ranks among Europe’s prime holiday destinations, boasting one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline that the continent has to offer, with almost 6000 km of shoreline and over 1000 islands, reefs and cliffs (67 inhabited islands). Over-exploitation of the coast has been kept in check, and there are still enough sparsely populated islands, quiet coves and stone-built fishing villages to make you feel you are visiting one of the Mediterranean’s most unspoilt areas - in fact the Mediterranean as it once was!
Much of the Croatia’s individuality is due to its geographical position. Here the sober central European virtues of hard work and order blend with the spontaneity, vivacity and taste for good things in life that characterize the countries of Southern Europe – a cultural blend of the Central Europe and the Mediterranean which gives Croatia its particular flavour.
Within an easy reach by air, sea, rail or road for all European visitors, Croatia offers a variety of accommodation capacities and freetime activities in a very well preserved environment. Classic hotels and hotel settlements interchange with top-quality camping sites, farmhouses, (apartments) in lighthouses, huts on isolated islands for Robinson Crusoe type holidays, and numerous - Croatian speciality - private accommodation. Those are family owned lodging facilities, all supervised and ranked by the local authorities, with up to 16 beds in each, rented to tourists as room units, apartments or detached houses. The host family caters for the tourists, which brings an additional touch to the holidays as they often include some extras, even taking the tourists to fish with them.
Though Croatia, among the tourist who have been there earlier, is often remembered as a very safe beach vacation destination with an interesting cultural heritage, protected environment, excellent facilities, cuisine and wines, in recent years great effort has been done to provide all sorts of sporting activities and special interest programmes for the tourists, stressing the activities characteristic for Croatia. Thus the Adriatic coast has become a synonym for yachting tourism, cruising with the oldtimer boats, scuba diving and sightseeing of shipwrecks from all historical periods, wind surfers paradise, with excellent facilities for all kind of recreation and soft
adventure, ATP tournaments, bicycling tours in Istria and hopping from one island to another, rafting, team building activities, hunting and angling in the continental part of the country. Wellness and spa treatments, both recreational and medical, are popular throughout the year both at the 18 mineral spas and numerous hotels on the coast and inland. Numerous festivals, events, sports encounters, church festivities, night parties/entertainment for the young in spirit, together with a vast offer of day excursions and organized tours attract tourists of all ages and interests.
