Tourism in Croatia began to develop sharply in the 20th century, when the resort infrastructure was created. The seaside towns and fishing villages scattered along the coast have been replaced by popular resorts. Croatia is multifaceted: in it everyone finds something special and unique for themselves.
Croatia is considered by many to be the ideal beach destination. And this is not surprising, because the Croatian coast is washed by one of the saltiest seas - the Adriatic Sea, which has healing properties. All along the coast there are pristine beaches, rocky platforms leading directly to the sea. All the beaches in the country are well-groomed and clean, here you can really relax, take a break from the hustle and bustle and worries.
On the other hand, Croatia is a country with a unique culture and historical monuments from different eras. Each resort town has its own history. Croats cherish the ruins of ancient palaces, castles, medieval churches. Excursions to different cities will acquaint guests with interesting places and facts. For example, in the city of Pula, you can visit the ancient but well-preserved amphitheater Arena or the triumphal arch, in the small medieval town of Porec, the preserved architectural monuments will not leave indifferent. The massive city walls of Dubrovnik will surprise you with their uniqueness - at one time this city-state rivaled in beauty and power with Venice itself.
You should definitely visit the capital of Croatia - Zagreb. The rhythm of life of this city, architecture and even cuisine are different in their essence from coastal towns. Zagreb is a European city with a large number of wide squares, parks, and cozy cafes.
In addition, Croatia has unique natural attractions. The sunny sea coast is only a few hours away from the rocky mountains, all this is close to a real green forest, where a long river flows, a lake and waterfalls stretch. There are a lot of similar places in Croatia; such national parks are protected by the state.
Recently, the country is gaining popularity on the islands, because there are a lot of them in Croatia. There are about 1000 islands scattered along the coast: these are large inhabited islands (Pag, Cres, Krk), and the uninhabited archipelago of Corvati, and small islands of the Elafit archipelago. By the way, Croats themselves often rest on the islands, and leave coastal resorts for tourists.
Croatia is a sports country. Almost every hotel has basketball and volleyball courts, and in some places even soccer fields. The country is famous for its developed water sports. Each resort town has its own marina and diving club.
The versatility of Croatia allows a tourist to choose any destination and get the most out of traveling to such an unusual country.
