CROATIA

One of Europe's top seaside destinations, Croatia has more than 1,000 islands. With less than 50 of them inhabited, it’s easy enough to declare any one of the other islands yours for the duration of your stay. Of course, more than its clear blue waters and golden sunshine, Croatia also has historic cities that are UNESCO World Heritage sites, aside from quaint towns rich in Italian and Byzantine influences. Croatia’s rugged mountains and breathtaking coastline along the Adriatic also draw adventure-seekers as well as sightseers from all over the world.

Dubrovnik

At the edge of the Adriatic Sea in the very south of Croatia, Dubrovnik is rich in history and natural beauty. With bays, beaches, steep cliffs and dense woodland areas, Dubrovnik's landscape is unexpected. Although severely damaged in the attack by the Serbs and Montenegrins in the fall of 1991, Dubrovnik's impressive medieval architecture and its beautiful Mediterranean landscape still remain.

Attractions

  • The old city of Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which dates back to the 13th century. A walking tour along its length provides a spectacular view of the city it surrounds.
  • Arboretum, one of Croatia’s finest botanical gardens.
  • The large Onofrio Fountain, the Franciscan Monastery, and the Rectors' Palace for a glimpse of the city's rich religious and cultural history.
  • Lopud Island, home of many great sailors and sea captains throughout history, the perfect spot to relax in, with its mild climate, subtropical vegetation, charming footpaths, beautiful scenery, and sandy beaches.
  • The 15th century Rectors' Palace, once the seat of Dubrovnik's Republic government and now a museum with furnished rooms, Baroque paintings, and historical exhibits of how the ruling class and the aristocracy lived in Dubrovnik.
  • Cavtat, once an ancient settlement by the Greeks from Epidaurus, now a seaside resort and popular destination for yachting and sailing enthusiasts.

Split

Surrounded by lush pine forests and glades of wild flowers, the Croatian city of Split is rich in scenic beauty. One of the Adriatic's most amazing seaports and Croatia's second-largest city, this 1700-year-old harbour is also a cultural mecca, with its fair share of historic monuments, museums and galleries. From here, you can also visit the dreamy Adriatic islands, for some of the world's best beaches.

Attractions

  • Diocletian's Palace, one of the world’s best-preserved Roman royal residences. Built on the seacoast of Split around 295 AD, the structure is more like a city housing sixteen towers, three temples and an emperor's mausoleum.
  • The Archaeological Museum, Croatia's oldest, with a large collection of objects dating back to prehistoric times.
  • Mestrovic's Gallery for the largest collection of the artist's works, including sculptures, oil paintings and drawings.
  • The top of Mount Marjan for amazing views of the Adriatic Sea.
  • The best atmosphere for watching soccer - or football as its called on this continent - in all of Europe
