Croatia

We have gathered travel information for your trip to Croatia. We hope this page helps you plan a great trip to this beautiful country!

Croatia has increasingly become much more popular among tourists. With more than 2,500 hours of sunshine per year, magnificent islands, and beaches, it is the perfect destination for those that love the water. Picturesque ports, cities with rich cultures, and hundreds of islands all await curious visitors. The advantage of heading to Croatia is that you can still cover a lot of ground, even if you are going on a short trip. The Balkan country is also a popular pick for sailers. What sets it aside from other travel destinations is its diverse landscape: rivers, lakes, waterfalls, mountains, forests, and the lovely Adriatic Sea.

Our Visit


We loved our time in Croatia! It has been on our bucket list for twenty years, and finally, we made it to this beautiful country. We spent a month here, and in every city, we enjoyed something different. In Zagreb, John ran the half marathon. So many races have been canceled over the last few years, so it was great to see him back at the sport he’s so passionate about.
