Zagreb and Northern Croatia
A thriving arts, music and food scene but also celebrates its rich past.
A blue-green expanse of awe-inspiring sights and sites. Dubrovnik, in particular – with its eye-catching Venetian architecture and mazy cobbled streets – is the perfect base for your itinerary.
For the moment Croatia is more reminiscent of Ibiza in the 70s before it became trendy and expensive.
For those that want to party all night, the hot spots of Pag, Hvar and Primosten will not disappoint and yet if that is your idea of hell on earth, then the quiet coves of another thousand islands will provide total solitude. Good hotels are still relatively few and far between, but they are coming. Discover it now.
From the slopes of the beautiful mountains which provide limited but respectable skiing in winter and which are carpeted by wildflowers in spring, down to the three hundred miles of rocky coastline, Croatia is a holiday paradise. To date, only sixty-six of the thousand-plus islands are inhabited, but more will follow.
Each island is indented with sublime coves, perfect for swimming and snorkelling and invariably there is a restaurant closeby serving a simple selection of fresh fish or barbequed lamb. While Dubrovnik is probably the most famous town, the coast and islands support a number of smaller versions which, dating back to the late 16th century, are complete with Venetian architecture and original cobbled streets. Absolutely gorgeous.
