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.

The most beautiful parks in central Croatia


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.

One of Croatia's most beautiful (and most visited!) islands, Korčula has managed to retain its traditional character, despite the increasing pressure exerted by tourism.

Korčula is without a doubt one of the most beautiful of Croatia's islands: a wonderful rugged coastline formed from volcanic rock that plunges right down into the Adriatic, and a magnificent nuanced palette of colours, from the deep blue of the sea to the intense green of the pine woods, and that's without mentioning the white stone of the old buildings in the town centres. I strongly recommend spending at least two days in the old town of Korčula, which is a kind of miniature Dubrovnik. It is a magnificent fortified town made up of a maze of little streets and tiny winding alleys. Another advantage Korčula has to offer is that it receives far fewer tourists than its big sister Dubrovnik, even if the island is now becoming increasingly popular as a summer destination in Croatia. If you want to more fully enjoy a relaxing stay on this idyllic island therefore, visit it out of season!
