Croatia

The most prominent feature of Croatia's tourist industry is its Dalmatian coastline, which is indented with rocky cliffs, peninsulas and small inlets. Numerous good quality hotels and marinas have been resurrected or constructed in the past few years, and the Croatian province is once again beginning to enjoy a tourist boom reminiscent of its heyday in the 1930s. There is a special atmosphere to Croatian towns and villages, many of which are built on the sites of ancient Greek settlements dating from the 4th century BC. This, coupled with a welcoming and determined population, Mediterranean climate, scenic beauty and lush vegetation, is aiding Croatia's rise from the ashes of war into one of the world's tourist hotspots.

Dubrovnik Riviera

The main tourist resorts are: Cavtat, Dubrovnik, Korcula Island, Mlini & Orbec.

 
Dubrovnik Riviera: In close proximity to the city of Dubrovnik are numerous picturesque villages and resorts to visit and explore. About 11 miles (18km) away on the road to Split is the quiet bay of Zaton, with its sandy beaches and pine forest. The town has numerous restaurants, a relic of the days when it was the chosen retreat for the aristocrats of the Dubrovnik Republic. The village of Tristeno features the 'Arboretum', a Gothic-Renaissance park on the coast, which is currently undergoing restoration. In the centre of this village visitors are awed by two gigantic sycamore trees, reputedly 500 years old, standing 197ft (60m) high. Even closer to the city the towns of Kupari, Srebreno, Mlini, Soline and Plat lie along a chain of hills descending to the rim of Zupa Bay, known as one of the most beautiful resorts on the Dubrovnik Riviera, with modern hotels offering a variety of watersports.

Istria is the largest Croatian peninsula and the nearest seaside for people from Central Europe. On the coast there are many tourist centres. One of them is Umag with its well-known tennis tournaments and wide variety of tourist facilities. Porec, included on UNESCO's World Heritage List, is the best-developed tourist town in Croatia.

Kvarner Riviera

The main tourist resorts are: Moscenicka Draga, Opatija & Rabac.

 
There are not many places where you can, in such a small area, find such natural diversities as in Kvarner. Here, where Mediterranean and Central Europe meet, seaside scenery is right next to Gorski Kotar with its woods and mountains, and one has the opportunity to enjoy swimming in the sea in the morning, and in the afternoon you can enjoy fresh mountain air.
