A gem of land, hidden in the southeastern corner of Europe, Croatia is a land of 1000 islands with a 2000 km long coastline known for its untouched nature, crystal clear sea, local specialties, olive oil and wine.
The nightlife here goes hand in hand with hidden beaches and mysterious coves that can only be reached by boat. This means that you choose what you do, how you do it and you can do it in an instant.
Diversity is what makes Croatia special, be it natural or cultural. Everything is very close and accessible without any problems. Beautiful nature, fishing villages, medieval fortresses, nature trails, clean beaches and the sea - just waiting for you.
