Les lacs de Plitvice Vacations

If you're a food lover, be sure to do a car tour of the Buzet region of northern Istria, which lies not far from the Slovenian border. The area's rolling, verdant landscapes are simply magnificent, and it is considered one of Croatia's main gastronomic regions.

A magnificent series of vegetation-covered islands, the archipelago lying off the west coast of Istria and formed by two large islands, Veliki Brijun and Mail Brijun, and twelve islets was chosen by Marshall Tito as the location of his summer residence and as a place where he could receive and host his visitors, especially the heads of the non-aligned states.

Plitvice and the smaller Krka are parks you must visit in Croatia. You really should put them on your holiday to-do list. Hikers will love the mountain parks as well as the stunning, protected islands.

Beautiful Dubrovnik has kept its battle scars in ex-Yugoslavia. You will learn about the history on a tour of the old town, in the museums and in the beautiful photo gallery.
