World travelers, take note: there is no beauty superior to that which can be absorbed by witnessing the natural spenders and the cultural richness of Croatia. With a national history dating back to the seventh century a.d., Croatia has exhibited the wonders of, as the country’s national tourism board states: “The Mediterranean As It Once Was”.

Unending natural exquisiteness prevails in all of the varied and marvelous areas that compose Croatia – from the sparkling rivers that spawn from the Adriatic Sea and the Black Sea basin, to the semi-mountainous ranges that harbor wide-ranging magnificent wildlife. While visiting beautiful Croatia, you may be inclined to get in touch with Mother Earth by engaging in a bicycling tour. There are more than sixty active cycling clubs in the country, and you are always cordially invited to participate.

If cycling isn’t for you, then you might elect to go sailing on the Adriatic. Marine life flourishes in this wonderful region as does life in general. When traveling the diverse regions of Croatia, be sure to stop and dine at some of the many authentic and affordable Croatian restaurants. The local produce, spices, and genuine cooking will warm your soul and nourish your body for further exploration of this fabulous land.

You could travel some of the thousands of kilometers of coastline by sea kayak. You could backpack through thousands of square kilometers of unspoiled wilderness. You could simply lie back in the sand and enjoy the bountiful sunshine and crashing tides, soothing your troubles away like drifting sea foam.Whatever method of exploration you elect, enjoyment of a land so enticing is unavoidable. Croatia is a wonderful place to visit; a wonderful place to be enveloped by. The undeniable cultural heritage and pride of Croatia’s indigenous people shows through at every level. Travel to Croatia, and you will never forget the experience.
