Croatia should be on everyone’s ‘must-do’ list - nowhere quite compares.
From the depths of Adriatic caves and the deep blue sea, with its numerous bays, inlets, coves and islands this is a unique area in Europe for enjoying the water. From motor boat cruising to speed-boating and idyllic sailing there is something for everyone.
Croatia is indeed unique, not only for its crystal clear, clean blue sea, but also for a thousand years of different cultures that have replaced each other and assimilated in these areas. Croatian cuisine is a wonderful reflection of this mix of cultures and history, with culinary influences from Hungary, Turkey, Greece, Italy and France.
A must-see while in Croatia is the Plitvice Lakes National Park With sixteen lakes, each at a different level, joined by a series of cascading waterfalls and surrounded by a dense forest Plitvice Lakes are a natural phenomenon of a rare and unique beauty. This area was granted UNESCO World Heritage status in 1979 and is located roughly halfway between the capital city of Zagreb and Zadar on the coast.

In Umag, the sobes (private rooms in houses) are good value. The average cost is roughly 22 Euros per couple and they often allow you to do your washing as well.
