Croatia
Popular Croatia has an 1800 km long and very beautiful coastline on the Adriatic Sea. Nougat-colored limestone cliffs stand in stunning contrast with the turquoise sea. Croatia’s waters include the Mediterranean’s cleanest and clearest. Islands off the coast offer lavender fields, fresh seafood, and healthy baths.
The Croatian archipelago is great and strikingly beautiful, with a variety of islands few other countries can match. Over 1,000 islands are just off the Dalmatian coast around Dubrovnik. During the summer months, thousands of sailboats play on the sea, and sailors experience paradise from the first gust of wind.
