A country hasn't risen in popularity quite like Croatia over the years. One of Europe's most beautiful countries, Croatia's famous crystal-clear waters and assembly of stunning Dalmatian islands lure travelers in from all over the world. Located in the Balkans, Croatia is host to medieval cities and historical ruins as well as an exceptional wealth of natural beauty. 

Attention-Grabbing Natural Wonders

The Plitvice lakes are home to the world's most transparent water and stunning views, and with walkways connecting the parks, one can walk through the jaw-dropping 16 lakes and waterfalls whilst taking it all in. For those keen to explore via boat, a visit to Pag island is a must. The Adriatic coastline is filled with hidden coves, beaches, and islands which can be enjoyed best on a private boat tour, where you can lay back on the top deck and absorb the Croatian sun. 

Even though Croatia is famous for its festivals such as Hideout, it's also home to some fantastic nightlife. Zrce Beach Club is a trendy spot to relax, dance, and enjoy your beautiful surroundings after a long day of sightseeing. 

After sampling some of Croatia's mouth-watering seafood dishes, such as Black Risotto, a trip to the Krka National Park is the perfect way to cool off in one of the stepped waterfalls. Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, is the largest and most vibrant city in the country. With history dating back to the 11th century, Zagreb is now a sprawling, cosmopolitan city and the heart of Croatian culture, academics, and government.

Croatia is a beautiful and vast destination that should be at the top of everyone's bucket list.
