The Republic of Croatia is an EU country situated along the Adriatic Sea and its hinterland. It stretches from the slopes of the Alps and deep into the Pannonian Valley to the banks of the Danube and Drava brooks.
Therefore according to its natural characteristics, as well as its cultural and historic development, Croatia can be separated into 3 geographically distinct sections :
The Coastal region
The Mountain region
The Pannonian region
Like many nations in Western Europe, Croatia was set up on the ruins of the Roman Empire. When they arrived in the territory of present-day Croatia, the Croats were politicaly organised in principalities. In 925, Croatian King Tomislav united the realms, creating the first Croatian state. Later , Croatia retained its legal status and liberty in the framework of the Hungarian empire, and the Habsburg Monarchy.
In Croatia, where the Mediterranean, the mountains and the Pannonian plains come together in a singular harmony of natural beauty, within just a little more than 100 kilometres, you can come across excitingly different landscapes.
The Adriatic, with one of the most indented coastlines in Europe with its 1,185 islands and islets, of which only 66 are inhabited, is undeniably the most well-liked visitor destination. Continental Croatia , however , also abounds in beauty : it is a land of forests, rivers loaded in fish, swift mountain streams and deep gorges of Gorski Kotar, and the superb Plitvice Lakes in Lika. It's a land of golden wheat fields, oak woods and wide rivers of Slavonia and Baranja, a land of old fashioned little towns, romantic castles and manors, and beautiful majestic hills and vineyards of the Croatian Zagorje.
The most well-liked chances for travel and tourism, of course, is summer tourism. You can enjoy the advantages of rustic tourism in a lot of the towns in the continental region of Croatia, as well as of health tourism in numerous spas and thermal and mineral springs,eg Varazdinske, Tuheljske, Stubicke and Krapinske spas, Lipik, Daruvar or Topusko in the continental region, and along the coast : Losinj, Umag, Opatija, Crikvenica, Hvar, Makarska, Vela Luka and Istarske Spa in Istria.
If you're a gastronome and a connoisseur of fine food, or simply like tasty and good food, you will actually more than enjoy Croatia. Another attraction certainly worth exploring are Croatia's wine basements. Red wines are best along the coast - Teran, Cabernet and Merlot in Istria and Opolo, Plavac, Dingac and Postup in Dalmatia. In the seaside area, some quality white wines are also produced, for example Pinot, Malvazija, Kujundzusa and White Muskat, while continental Croatia produces Traminac, Burgundac, Graevina and Kraljevina.
