Luxury hotels in Croatia
On the Adriatic coast, Croatia has more than a thousand islands which are all as impressive as each other. With one side of the country facing the setting sun, the beaches are countless and surprising: travel from Pula to Zadar via Split to reach the "Pearl of the Adriatic”, Dubrovnik with its Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The mountain ranges of the Dinaric Alps await you with extraordinary hikes, natural national parks, as well as lakes abound with their extremely rich flora and fauna. As the crossroads of cultures and amazing influences, Croatia and its capital, Zagreb, offer many museums and many sites listed as World Heritage sites by Unesco.
