Croatia is fast becoming a favoured holiday destination for Europeans who are sick of paying huge sums of money for a Mediterranean break. Tourists mainly head for the delectable Dalmatian coast, which rests on the beautiful Adriatic. The beaches along this stretch of coast are stunning and towns like Dubrovnik and Split rest on it.

Dubrovnik is the main draw to Croatia, an old city with preserved walls, narrow cobbled streets, ancient buildings and good shopping and eating options. Its old town - Stari Grad – is a World Heritage site. Nearby Lokrum Island is also popular, with its fine beaches, gardens and monastery.

Croatia is a pretty liberal place with nudist beaches and friendly locals, while entertainment in the larger cities and resorts is superb. Everything from quaint terraced cafés to full service restaurants and a myriad of bars can be found. Prices are good to boot. The big destinations also have good theatre and ballet options.

Those with a hire car in Croatia have lots of driving country. A popular trip is to go up or down the Dalmatian coast between the towns of Dubrovnik and Split. The capital, Zagreb, is also worth visiting and is a good drive from the coast.
