Croatia holidays deliver an intriguing blend of history and culture along the whole length of the country’s Adriatic coast. Croatian cities, villages and countryside reveal remnants from Imperial Rome, the Venetian trade and more recent Balkan history. Indeed, Croatian food mirrors the country’s history and landscape drawing on the influences from
Italy,
Hungary and Slovenia. Located just three hours from Dublin, a holiday to Croatia is a refreshing alternative to the ‘traditional’ Mediterranean.
Croatia has been a hidden holiday gem for centuries. This beautiful Balkan country plays host to pretty fishing villages, famous ancient ruins, a genuinely diverse environment complete with pine forests, rolling hills, pebble beaches, crystal clear waters and a Mediterranean-style climate.
Croatia offers up a huge range of experiences to holiday-makers. The Istria Peninsula perched in the north corner of Croatia’s Adriatic coast rivals Tuscany or Provence with its intriguing combination of hillside medieval towns and lively fishing ports. The Dalmatian Coast forms the heart of Croatia, and includes Zadar, with its rich 3000-year-old heritage and Split a modern city boasting the site of Diocletian’s Palace. Stunning Dubrovnik, the picture-perfect medieval town with UNESCO status, lies at the far southern tip of the Dalmatian Coast line and was once summed up by George Bernard Shaw as ‘paradise on earth’. We couldn’t agree more!
