PostHeaderIcon The beauty of Croatia

Arriving in Croatia, you might imagine that you’ve travelled back in time, to an era when idyllic beaches and islands, wild scenery, sunny weather and picturesque towns and villages were as yet undiscovered by mass tourism. Independent since 1991, the country had been part of Hungary, Austria and the Turkish Ottoman Empire before becoming a member of the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia during the 20th century.

Despite its politically turbulent past, Croatia has become a peaceful and welcoming place for visitors and is brimming with cultural attractions and natural beauty. It boasts six UNESCO world heritage sites, including the historic cities of Trogir and Dubrovnik. The mix of cultural influences has resulted in fascinating architecture, delicious cuisine and a unique personality.

The mountainous landscape and rocky coastline of the Dalmatia region is dotted with seaside resorts and easily reached from the airport at the historic old town of Split. Luxury holiday villas on Croatia’s many islands offer you access to the deserted beaches and unspoilt fishing villages that you assumed no longer existed. 

In the ancient centre of Dubrovnik you’ll find many first class apartments and houses with character and available for holiday rentals. Unspoilt beaches, forest covered islands and pretty coastal towns surround you in the area known as the Dubrovnik Riviera. Further north, the tranquil region of Istria is dotted with medieval hilltop towns and famous for its wild truffles. The country’s capital city, Zagreb, is a bustling metropolis full of museums and attractions, including impressive Roman ruins.
