A Short Guide to Croatia
Croatia, once a country torn by civil and ethnic turmoil, is promising to be an eye-catching vacation hotspot for those who wish to venture here. Visitors can enjoy the gorgeous coastline, any of its 1,185 islands and visit the Roman ruins and medieval villages. No doubt Croatia is rivaling the once popular Greek islands. After all, Croatia is for visitors who want to have fun, enjoy great food and culture while taking in its long history.
Croatia, due to the constant political and ethnic fighting that’s caused it to be geographically sliced, is arc-shaped. For instance, the western leg makes up the Adriatic coastline that narrows to Dubrovnik, an ancient seaport found in the south. The Drava and Save Rivers make up the northern section of the country. In the middle of all this sits its capital, Zagreb.
When visiting Croatia, visitors often see the Dalmatian coastline; it’s got plenty of rocky cliffs, small inlets and peninsulas. In recent years, a large number of hotels and marinas have popped up, making this Croatian province a hotspot for visitors once more; a look that brings back memories of the 1930s. Many towns and villages have a special atmosphere to them since they were built on ancient Greek settlements, many of those going as far back as the 4th century BC.
Add this allurement to a population determined to rise from the war’s ashes to show off their abundant vegetation, picturesque beauty and the Mediterranean climate; it’s easy to see why Croatia is becoming a top vacation spot.
