Every year Croatia is an increasingly popular holiday destination among Russian tourists who come to this European country from June to September. This is all the more comfortable and convenient, since residents of Russia do not need a visa, but only the provision of a passport at the checkpoint. So where is the best place to relax in Croatia?
Dubrovnik and Pula
Dubrovnik, which is also called the "pearl of the Adriatic", is included by UNESCO in the list of the most beautiful European cities, along with Amsterdam and Venice. It is a real architectural wonder. The historic center of Dubrovnik contains a huge number of cultural and construction masterpieces. For example, this is the Church of St. Blaus, the palace of a medieval prince, monasteries of the Dominicans and Franciscans, as well as the famous fountains designed by the Italian architect Onofrio de La Cav.
Dubrovnik also has many entertainments for young people - clubs and discos, as well as well-equipped beaches. The islands of Kolocep, Korcula, Mleet, and Mlini are also popular with tourists. In general, this place can become a favorite for recreation not only for people who value architecture, but also for excellent cuisine, outdoor activities and beach pastime.
The famous Pula, which was once a Roman colony, is now a seaport and a gathering place for tourists from many countries. Up to 60 thousand foreigners vacation in Pula every year.
A true masterpiece of Pula architecture is the Arena amphitheater, which bears traces of the true heritage of the Roman Empire. There are no comfortable beaches in this city, but this is not the most valuable thing! The beauty of Pula is in the huge number of monuments left by the Romans, Austrians, Italians
Opatija and Poreč
Opatija is the center of resort life in Croatia, founded in 1844. Around the city there are many equipped beaches, which are concrete slabs covered with sand with special descents into the sea. The city was built according to the so-called "Cannes" principle - the beach, behind it the road, and then the lines with the hotels.
The restaurant industry of Opatija is also famous throughout Europe with a variety of cuisines - not only local, but also Italian, French and many others. Fresh seafood and not only them form the basis of the menu of such establishments.
Another Croatian city - Porec - is an ideal holiday destination for seniors and couples with children. It simply amazes in a good way with its silence and tranquility with a huge number of cozy cafes and small restaurants, equipped beaches and the purest sea water.
The coastline of Porec is 64 kilometers long with several lagoons and a coastline of extraordinary beauty. There are quite a few discos and noisy bars in this city, but connoisseurs of tranquility and privacy can find what they were looking for here.
