After an increase in enquiries over the last 6 months, Croatia<\/a> is quickly becoming one of the most popular countries for a short break among our customers. As such we have decided to do a run of articles on the country. Places to visit, things to see, driving tips and laws and more. Keep an eye out for them.<\/p>\n

Dubrovnik<\/h3>\n

Dubrovnik is found in South Croatia, next to the tranquil Adriatic Sea. One of the highlights of Dubrovnik<\/a> is walking around the medieval walls that date back to the 16th Century. The historic town has also featured in the Game of Thrones and you can visit several spots that are seen in the show. One popular excursion is visiting Lokrum island, which can be reached by a short ferry trip. Upon arriving you can wander around the Botanical Gardens that were planted in the 19th century, watch out for the Peacocks and rabbits that roam the island freely. Finally, there is a cable car that takes you up a mountain high above Dubrovnik where you can enjoy the spectacular view of the ancient town.<\/p>\n

Plitvice Lakes National Park <\/h3>\n

Plitvice Lakes National Park, in central Croatia is a national park containing 16 interconnected lakes, set in a picturesque forest. The park itself covers 300 square kilometers, the lakes stretching over 8 kilometers combined. Despite the lakes only dropping 135m in total from top to bottom the largest waterfall found there is 70m tall. There is a range of routes you can complete ranging from 3km to 18km, don\u2019t worry there are buses and ferry\u2019s that can help you see as much of the magnificent scenery as possible, without the long walks. You can also enjoy a picnic or rent a small rowing boat and easily spend a full day here, maybe even two!<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

Blue Cave of Bisevo<\/h3>\n

This cave is not the easiest place to visit but the enchanted blue waters are definitely worth the journey. Despite only spending about 15 minutes in the actual cave most tours will visit another cave on the island, the Green Cave, which is similar to the blue cave. Another breathtaking place to visit that most boat trips will take you to is Stiniva Cove, the best beach in Europe 2016, voted by European Best Destinations. The dark blue sea is so clear that you can see the bottom even when at depths of 15 Meters. Different companies offer different packages, some boat trips will only last a short time whereas others can last up to 10 hours, so make sure you research before and do what is most suitable for your trip.<\/p>\n

Pula Arena <\/h3>\n

Once home to gladiator fights, this ancient monument was built in the 1st century, making it the oldest of its type in Croatia. All made from local limestone the amphitheater was believed to hold 20,000 spectators in its prime. Now the Arena only holds 5,000 spectators but still hosts many events including the Pula Film Festival, Opera and many more, so there is something for everyone. You can go underneath the arena and walk down tunnels where Gladiators once walked through leading you to the subterranean gallery where wounded or dead Gladiators were put on show after battle. If you want to spend the whole day there be sure to explore the old town of Pula<\/a>, there are many other historic wonders hiding there, including the Temple of Augustus and Arch of the Sergii. <\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The Golden Horn <\/h3>\n

This beach is to many people the best beach you can find in Croatia. It is found on the island of Bra\u010d, which is a one-hour ferry journey from Split<\/a>. The Golden Horn stretches nearly 600 yards and is best known for its unique shape and crystal-clear blue water. Here you will be able to take part in a variety of water sports activities including sea kayaking, windsurfing and scuba diving. If you don\u2019t like the big crowds there is many other remote beaches on the island. Don\u2019t be mistaken the island of Bra\u010d has a lot more to offer than just beaches, for example visiting Vidova Gora, the highest point on the island at just under 780 meters high. Vidova Gora can be reached by foot but if the weather is too warm to walk its easily accessible by car and you won\u2019t want to miss the panoramic views from the top. If you are feeling more adventurous then you can take part in a 3-hour guided rock climb even if you\u2019re a beginner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
