Welcome to the Croatia Travel Guide, where you will find unbiased advice and personal suggestions for discovering the real, authentic Croatia. A country of unspoiled, still uncrowded beaches and islands, (right in the heart of Europe)...
I first traveled to Croatia over 7 years ago, and fell in love with this small, enchanting country of heart-stoppingly beautiful coastlines, stunning clear, azure waters, and glorious Mediterranean weather.
You can be sure that I won't hide anything here. You can read about the must-haves, must-dos, and must-nots. Those recommendations and reviews are based on my personal experiences and the experiences of my readers.
Although Croatia is known for it's breathtaking coastline and over 1000 islands, there is much more to this tiny jewel than just stunning beaches. The interiour houses many attractive destinations, including the charming, yet cosmopolitan city of Zagreb, and the prestine natural beauty of Plitvice Lakes National Park which I would rank into Europe's best back-to-nature experiences.
The family of my girlfriend is from Croatia - and because of that I have been able to learn more about places which many travelers don't always discover.
I have visited so many great places in Croatia, but there are still so many hidden, memorable places and activities that don't always make it onto the big travel magazines and guide books.
You can be sure that Croatia really has a lot to offer to it's visitors. My advice? Check out the latest travel advice for your trip before you depart:
You can also check out possible hotels and receive tips on private accommodation (which is offered a lot along the coast).
Of course, I will also take you to some of the very best beaches at the Croatian coastline with crystal clear blue water. Here are a few to start with: Zlatni Rat beach (my favorite), Makarska beach, Hvar beach, Zrce beach and Brela beach.
In fact ...
Did you know that the ocean before the Croatian coastline has the clearest and cleanest water of the entire Adriatic?
That isnt just noticeable when bathing or diving but also in restaurants: with excellent fish and fresh seafood of highest quality.
By the way ... having the opportunity to share Croatia and my travel experiences with so many people around the world is a great satisfaction!
After travelling around Croatia the first time, you might want to plan your trip for the holiday season next year ... and visit Croatia again? What about all the other sites you werent able to check out the last time? :-)
