“The Mediterranean as it once was.” This is the reputation that Croatia, with its cobblestone streets and Renaissance-era stone cities, has earned among travelers.
This excellent holiday sport, with some of the clearest, cleanest coastal waters in the world, boaters and divers make up a significant slice of the millions of visitors to Croatia each year. Croatia’s economy has recovered well from the war of independence fought over a decade ago, developing into one of the most stable economies in southeastern Europe. Nowadays, travelers see its Adriatic coastline as a Mediterranean vacation destination that’s less expensive than nearby Italy.

Until recently, the Roman ruins and natural wonders of Croatia were the well-kept secret of Italian and German travelers, who enjoyed the bargain vacations made possible by Croatia’s reputation as a war-torn nation. The rest of the world has caught on, however. While the country’s tourism industry still largely caters to the German and Italian population, English is becoming more common, particularly along the coast. Visitors will not lack for destinations, with seven World Heritage Sites, eight National Parks, a string of ancient coastal villages, and over a thousand offshore islands to choose from.
