Thousands of magical emotions – your holiday in Croatia

Croatia is a cozy world where stunning forests, hills and mountains coexist with the most modern beaches. Croatia has a special, poetic name -

“The country of a thousand islands,” although it actually has about 1,185 islands. Each island is a bright piece of the natural mosaic of Croatia, which has been admired not only by tourists, but also by world-famous artists for many years.

The poetic charm of Croatia cannot be denied. Agatha Christie, the detective legend, once spent her honeymoon here. Kings and emperors have enjoyed their holidays here from century to century. Croatia was sung by Lord Byron, Jack London, Yesenin, Chekhov and other masters of words.

Contemporary art has also not bypassed Croatia: not so long ago, the picturesque city of Dubrovnik became the prototype for King's Landing in Game of Thrones, one of the most popular TV series of our days.

Trips to Croatia will give you thousands of magical emotions and thousands of truly beautiful photographs! Prepare your cameras, photo albums and plenty of free space on your computer - there will be a lot of unforgettable impressions. As well as new desktop screensavers;)

Enjoying the pictures of sea voyages

A beach holiday in Croatia seems somewhat unusual at first glance. Of course, here you can simply walk to the seashore, enjoy the salty freshness of the air and raise fountains of sparkling spray. But beach trips in Croatia are primarily about contemplating and enjoying exquisite nature.

Poetic relaxation and an endless series of delights are combined with an excellent opportunity to get the most chocolate tan in the world. From May to October, pleasant Mediterranean weather reigns in Croatia: the air temperature is around 30 degrees, and the water temperature is 25-28.

At the very end of summer, the long-awaited velvet season begins here - a magical time of calm. The popularity of tours to Croatia is simply off the charts, and this is understandable: at the height of the “velvet”, the summer heat subsides, and young people return home to prepare for everyday work and school.

We advise you to start your trip from Dubrovnik! This ancient fortress has retained the mystery and charm of magical antiquity. Adriatic waves crashing against high walls, bright roofs of toy houses, the light of magnificent street lamps in romantic bays... A holiday here will be a romantic gift for couples in love and an interesting adventure for both young people and older people.

Porec is another urban wonder of Croatia, attracting not only tourists, but also artists. All kinds of creative festivals are constantly held here, and on the streets you can often hear inspired music or poetry readings. The green beaches of Porec are no less elegant and picturesque than the city itself.

You will find many other beaches on the island of Istria, as well as in South and Central Dalmatia. Some beaches are rocky, some are pebbly. Sandy places are not so common in Croatia, but each of them is a real work of art. What are at least the famous beaches on the islands - Korcula, Moru, Zadar ... We highly recommend visiting the resort of Split, which is famous throughout Europe for its clear sea.

Yachtsmen and water sports enthusiasts come to Croatia every year. The conditions for all kinds of sea activities are simply excellent! Thousands of ports can be visited in this region, many of which are well equipped for all types of water tourism.

While traveling along the beaches, don’t forget to check out the Croatian restaurants and taverns, which are called “Konobe” in the local language. There you will discover the enchanting tastes of the Adriatic cuisine: delicious stewed cabbage, Juha soup, sheep cheese, fish baked in different ways, shrimps, shells and other seafood. Do not forget to try the prosciutto, a charcoal-smoked ham dried in the sea wind.

Finish your meal on a sweet note: try Croatian cakes and pastries, chestnuts, zucchini, cookies and even local brushwood. Various wines go well with these treats, especially red ones - they often arrive on the counters and tables straight from the heat of Istria.

The obvious and the incredible: interesting holiday ideas in Croatia

For lovers of everything unusual, mysterious and inspiring, Croatia has many sightseeing wonders in store. And one of the most exciting is a trip to Plitvice Lakes! This is a real natural masterpiece that has long graced the pages of hundreds of geographical magazines. The national park covers an area of 217 hectares and includes 16 different lakes and a huge number of waterfalls. With its mesmerizing atmosphere, this place is somewhat reminiscent of Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina.

In the capital of Croatia, Zagreb, a very unusual discovery awaits you - the Museum of Failed Relationships. Sometimes it is also called the “Museum of Divorce” or “Museum of Broken Hearts.” Zagreb also has a technical museum and an extensive

a zoo full of “worldwide” flora and fauna.

And a little more amazing! Do you want to see... walking fish? Yes, yes, fish on real legs! Go to Poreč and look into the Baredine cave - there, at a depth of 60 meters, there is a special kind of fish that have legs (they are very reminiscent of lizards). Interestingly, the skin of these fish is almost the same color as that of humans. Excursions to “human” fish are in high demand in this place.

If you like the romance of the road, be sure to rent a car and drive around Croatia like a breeze! Driving along the road and looking at the magnificent landscapes is a special, very “Croatian” pleasure. Just look at the picturesque road from Split to Cavtat! Just be careful: driving with such beautiful views

and you can stop forever.

Resorts

The Istrian peninsula is the most popular tourist region in Croatia due to its rich history, many architectural monuments, beautiful old towns in the Venetian style, clear sea, magnificent beaches and excellent opportunities for a comfortable holiday.

Story

Croatia is a country where its rich cultural and historical heritage is revealed not only within the numerous museums, galleries and churches that are currently included in the list of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites. So, whether you are walking along the white stone streets leading to the piers of the coastal cities of Istria, Kvarner and Dalmatia, or climbing the green serpentines of central Croatia leading to fabulous fortresses and palaces, then every step here brings new impressions and experiences. In addition, it is here, on this territory, that 4 cultural circles meet and mix with each other - west and east, Central European and southern Mediterranean spirit. The territory of modern Croatia was settled by the Slavs in the 7th century. In the 9th century, the first state was formed. In 1102, Croatia became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. During the revolution of 1848-1849. in Austria and Hungary, Croatia achieved autonomy within the Habsburg Empire, but lost it after the suppression of the revolution. After World War II, in 1945, the Croatian Republic became part of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. In June 1991, Croatia adopted the Declaration of Independence, and in January 1992, the country's independence received international recognition.

Calling from a hotel or restaurant is much more expensive than calling from a pay phone, and you can also use the telephones at numerous post offices.

Lifehacks

Visit local restaurants in Croatia called Konobas. There you can try grilled fish, crnirižot risotto with black cuttlefish or a beef dish - pašticada, which is marinated in garlic, wine and spices for 24 hours.
We recommend going rafting on the Cetina River. This is the fastest river in Croatia. Flow speed – 65 km/h. The feeling is unforgettable!

The state's northern neighbors are Slovenia and Hungary, and its southern neighbors are Bosnia and Herzegovina. The capital of the country is the city of Zagreb, and the national currency is called the kuna. Croatian is the state language in the country; it belongs to the Slavic group, so Russians always manage to communicate with Croats not only in sign language. However, almost all hotels and restaurants have a Russian-speaking employee.

The coast enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate with warm, pleasant winters and dry but not hot summers. The heat is refreshed by the cool maestral wind, which brings blissful freshness from the Adriatic. In summer, the air temperature is about 25 degrees or a little more; the swimming season begins in early May and lasts until the end of September.

Sixteen forest lakes are connected by a huge number of waterfalls of amazing beauty. That is, you can come to this country for 7, 10 or 14 days or even a month, and still not have time to enjoy its beauties to the fullest or see all the sights. That is why, when leaving, tourists throw their small coins into the turquoise waters so that one day they will come here again.

In Croatia, the high season is not only in the summer (from May to October), but also in the winter: snow sports lovers rush here from all over Europe. But if you like to relax in the summer, you need to have time to book the best offer in advance, contact the tour operator in time.

Unique nature, clean sea, healing air.

In terms of environmental cleanliness, Croatia ranks first in Europe. The cleanest Adriatic Sea, the air filled with the aromas of pine needles, in terms of ecology this country is comparable to the famous one. The color is added by picturesque shores covered with pine forests and a coastline indented by islands (there are 1,185 of them). Add to this 300 sunny days a year and minimal precipitation. It is not surprising that every year thousands of tourists flock to Croatian resorts to spend their holidays here. The climate here is mild: summer lasts from May to September, the air warms up to 30 degrees on average, and sea water up to 27.

Unique sights, monuments of antiquity and the Middle Ages, attract tourists from all over the world. While vacationing in Croatia in 2020, be sure to take time to visit the palace of the Roman emperor Diocletian in Split, the Colosseum in Pula, Tavsat Castle in Riska, the ruins of the 11th century cathedral in Zagreb and, of course, the oldest pharmacy in Europe, the bishop's palace and the medieval monasteries of Dubrovnik.

Plitvice Lakes is one of the wonders of Croatia.

Croatia offers great opportunities for those who love to travel and discover new places. Dubrovnik and the island of Lokrum with an abandoned Benedictine monastery, sightseeing tours along the ancient streets of Split and Zagreb, a visit to Venice, a trip to the numerous islands of the coast - this is not the entire list that Croatia can delight you with. However, the real miracle is the Plitvice Lakes National Park, which occupies an area of 200 square meters: sixteen lakes connected by 92 cascades of waterfalls are considered a unique natural phenomenon.

No language barrier and warm welcome.

Hotel employees and waiters in restaurants will easily understand you, even if you address them in Russian. The Croatian language is close to Russian, so there is no language barrier as such. In addition, Croatians are very hospitable hosts and always readily welcome guests. Recently, more and more Russians are visiting Croatian resorts, so in many hotels you can find Russian-speaking staff. However, in order to finally win over the local population, we advise you to still learn a few words in Croatian.

Kitchen

The cuisine is very varied. Typically, the cuisine of the central regions is distinguished, which is greatly influenced by Slavic, Hungarian, Viennese and Turkish cuisines, and the cuisine of the coastal regions, which is strongly influenced by Greek, Italian and French culinary traditions. The central and mountainous regions are famous for their simple dishes; the menus in the Dalmatian, Istrian and Kvarner regions are dominated by fish and seafood. There are many recipes and ingredients, but one thing remains constant - the freshness of the products, the love that Croatians put into every dish and, of course, the amazing taste.

Holidays in Croatia: in harmony with nature

If you dream of relaxing on the cleanest coast, surrounded by pristine nature, in the cleanest place in Europe, which enchants and fascinates, this will be your choice. The best European beaches, beautiful pine forests, and amazingly lush vegetation are concentrated there.

Swimming to your heart's content in the crystal-clear, gentle Adriatic, soaking up the warm sun, breathing in the life-giving air filled with the aroma of pine needles is such a joy for a resident of a dusty and bustling metropolis.

Where else can you find such the sound of pine trees, sea breeze, gentle waves and clean sand if not in Croatia? Holidays here are attractive to many tourists, since prices for such an exclusive holiday are quite affordable. Of course, financial costs directly depend on the level of the hotel. Hotel service is of the highest European level, and it is also inspired by the special hospitality and friendliness of the inhabitants of this amazing land. The local population has a warm attitude towards their Russian-speaking Slavic brothers.

The natural and climatic conditions of the country are favorable: in summer the average air temperature is 30 degrees, and the sea water temperature is -27. The sun's rays pamper these regions 300 days a year. The holiday season in Croatia lasts from May to September.

The coastline is characterized by sandy, pebble, and concrete beaches. Vacationers can find a comfortable place to relax that suits them perfectly. In the Croatian resorts of Dubrovnik, Mlini, Opatija, Rovinj, spreading pines grow right in the sea dunes; it is pleasant to relax in the shade of these trees during the hot afternoon sun.
