Croatia travel highlights!

When setting up your itinerary to visit Croatia travel highlights and its beautiful Adriatic coast line , we suggest you that going from Istria to Dubrovnik you should choose a boat trip. Your itinerary will certainly vary according to your interest, when you travel and how much time you have.

To see the most important Croatia holiday highlights we suggest you to combine rent a car with trips on local ferries as well the large Jadrolinija ferry from Rijeka to Dubrovnik. The spectacular beauty of Croatia’s 1000 miles coastline and more than 1100 islands is the country’s greatest natural marvel. Don’t buy only a through ticket from Rijeka to Dubrovnik because you will miss some of the highlights.

We suggest you to start from Zagreb, Croatia’s capital , spending few days for the museums and the historic old town, than head to the coast, first visiting charming Istria towns like Rovinj, Porec and Pula. Before leaving for your cruise down the Dalmatian coast, stop in Krk or Rab islands in Gulf of Kvarner. On your way to Dalmatia don’t miss to land to Zadar and Sibenik. Your next stop will be Split, where you could easily spend a week tacking day trip to Trogir and Salona, Brac island (Bol), Hvar island and Makarska Riviera.

To finish your Croatia travel highlights exploration, take a local boat from Split to Korcula island, visiting the walled town of Korcula and after a day or two finish your Croatia adventure holidays in Dubrovnik, an delightful city of medieval, Renaissance and baroque splendors.
