The Republic of Croatia is bordered by Slovenia , Hungary , Serbia and Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina . Its long Adriatic coastline has over a thousand islands and islets - some of the larger islands are Brac , Krk , Cres , Hvar , Korcula and Mljet. Croatia has a beautiful rugged landscape. A system of National Parks has been established that protects the country's flora and fauna. The Parks include the National Park on the island of Mljet , Kornati National Park, Krka , and the Plitvice Lakes.
Croatia has brushed aside a decade of civil unrest and is once again emerging as a popular tourist destination. With an impressive coastline of around 1,185 islands, reefs and islets, roman ruins and beautiful medieval villages. Croatia has an impressive history, a fact that is best explained through the vast array of sites worth visiting. Most towns have an historical centre with its typical architecture. There are differences between the coast and the continental part, so both areas are a must. The most famous is Dubrovnik, a prime example of the coastal architecture, but by no means the only one worth visiting. Equally important is the capital and largest city, Zagreb, with a population of about 1 million. It is a modern city with all the modern features, yet it has a laid back feel. In the E, in the region of Slavonija with its regional capital Osijek and the war torn Vukovar are awe inspiring. Scattered throughout the region are vineyards and wine cellars, most of which give tours and tastings. Those looking for some sun, great food and a little history will want to put Croatia on their travel shortlist. |
