Croatia
Known as the land of 1,000 islands, Croatia is a Mediterranean country of perfectly preserved nature and breathtaking sites, with an interesting and rich history. Situated at the center of Europe itself, Croatia was often conquered and annexed to various empires from Greeks and Romans, to Austro-Hungarians, Ottoman Turks and even Napoleon. All these brought something to the melting pot of cultures, creating a special blend of cultures. More than a thousand islands decorate the coastline and 37% of the country is covered with forests. Croatia has eight national parks, two strict reserves, and ten nature parks. Being essentially Mediterranean, Croatia is becoming renowned for its wines

Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian Coast
Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw said, “Those who seek paradise on earth should seek it in Dubrovnik.” Lord Byron called Dubrovnik the "Pearl of the Adriatic," and others named it the "Treasure of the World"; it is considered one of the world's most beautiful cities, offering an enchanting mixture of Renaissance architecture, vibrant culture and easy-going attitude to life. Dubrovnik city center and its Old Town are just 11 kilometers from the Dubrovnik Sun Gardens. The remarkably well-preserved medieval architecture of Old Town has made it a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Old Town is a must-see attraction with Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque palaces and churches surrounded by a fascinating wall that can be explored by foot.
The Dalmatian coast is cradled by a range of mountains on one side and a long necklace of more than 1,000 beautiful islands on the other, with rock, pebble and sand beaches gently bathing in the warm sun and crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. The quality of sea water has been rated the best in Europe by the European Environmental Agency.
Further north are the ancient cities Split or Zadar. Major islands, like Brač or Hvar, have impressive villas, archeological sites, churches and palaces.
