Croatia Holidays: Unforgettably beautiful moments

Croatia best pleasures are more ageless than trendy. down its thousand-mile coast a shiny sea winds around gravel coves, reach at pine-fringed beaches. Istrian ports bustle with fishermen while children dive into the spotless sea. In Dalmatia, cities vibrate with nightlife amid olden Roman ruins. So, it is time to plan for a long Croatia vacation

Yachts slide up the coastline movie stars discreetly arrange to buy one of Croatia's 1185 islands and no Mediterranean journey is complete without a stop in Dubrovnik. The inner landscape is as mesmeric yet though less visited. Soak in a thermal health spa at Istarske Toplice in Istria. Hike through unspoiled forests watered by mountain streams in the west. Let the waterfalls of Plitvice dampen your face. And then there's the culture. The country that endured Roman, Venetian, Italian and Austro-Hungarian rule has a exceptional and slightly odd identity. You'll find a concentrated central European flavour in the elaborate structural design of Zagreb, and Italian dedication to the good life percolates up from the shore permeating Croatian food and style. During holidays and festivals the country's Slavic spirit materializes as vividly costumed dancers twirl about to a traditional folk melody.

Croatians retain a strong connection to the land and habits that nourished the aspiration of freedom for so long.
