Croatian sights

Croatia is a country whose geographic position, preservation and uniqueness has deservedly given it the title “The Mediterranean as it Once was”. Its charm, beauty, natural wealth, people, and cultural-historical identity were, and still remain, Croatia’s main plus point.

Croatia is the best ecologically preserved area in Europe with the cleanest sea and the largest number of national parks and nature parks in relation to the size of territory.

Croatia’s eight National Parks:Kornati, Krka, Paklenica, Plitvička jezera, Brijuni, Mljet, Risnjak and Sjeverni Velebit. There are also ten protected Nature Parks in Croatia.

From the total of 8 national parks in Croatia, the best known is most certainly national park Plitvice Lakes, which is registered in the UNESCO list of world heritage.

Croatia’s natural beauty is just one small part. There is so much more there:the rich history and many localities that have witnessed the passing of the turbulent centuries, the change in rulers from Roman times up until today, the culture as an ever important element of this area’s authenticity, the people and the traditions they have kept even today, the excellent culinary offer and so many other interesting things that Croatia warmly offers to all those who visit it.
