A seaside resort in Istria, Lovran is an historical tourist destination that offers wonderful views of the coast.
My suggestion
If you have the time, it's worth going on a dive. If you want to explore its incredible marine depths, there are numerous agencies that can organise outings.
Dalmatia extends from Split to Dubrovnik and is bordered by the Adriatic Coast. Off the coast, there are hundreds of islands offering peace, walking and intense festivals. It's up to you to decide which is the most suited to you.
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.
Renovated in a romantic style at the beginning of the 19th century, Trsat castle at Rijeka, still has the outwardly austere and simple appearance of its original 13th construction, which can deceive visitors. But its situation, on top of a promontory and the view it has over Kvarner Bay, give it a very special place among the architectural riches of Croatia.
