Croatia, a jewel of the Mediterranean

There is no shortage of wonders to create a tailor-made trip to Croatia. Traveling in Croatia means offering yourself 1,800 km of coastline, coves, and pebble beaches bathed by a warm sea in turquoise waters and overlooked by pine forests. A stay in Croatia would not be complete without visiting the thousand Croatian islands and islets, about fifty of which are inhabited, festive islands like Hvar or Pag, natural reserves like the island of Mljet and its mongooses, romantic ones like Galesnjak, the island of love, bucolic ones like the island of Korcula dotted with vineyards and olive groves, or even paradisiacal ones like the island of Brac and its famous Zlatni Rat beach shaped like a comma, one of the most beautiful in Europe, an ode to idleness and swimming. Visiting Croatia also means delving into the hinterland to discover the wooded mountains of the Dinaric Alps and a plethora of plains, lakes, and hills. A host of natural sites perfect for hiking and contemplation, embodied primarily by the fantastic Plitvice Lakes with its hundreds of wonderfully tiered waterfalls, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the country's eight national parks where you will have the opportunity, as in the Velebit mountains, to observe numerous wild animals including brown bears, wolves, lynxes, wild cats, and even deer. Then there are the cities of Croatia, rich in a magnificent historical heritage such as the ruins of Emperor Diocletian's palace in Split. Visiting the country's architectural marvels will lead you to Zagreb, the Croatian capital, Pula, Zadar, Sibernik, or even Trogir.
