sits between the Balkans and Central Europe and blends old-world charm with
Mediterranean flare. Below are some of the top places you should definitely
visit in Croatia the next time you are there.
1. Plitvice Lakes
Situated between Zagreb and Zadar, Plitvice Lakes are the
first national park in Croatia. They have been named one of the most beautiful
places in the world, and the landscapes and surroundings are inspiring. The
cascading waterfalls that fall into one of the many UNESCO-protected lakes,
along with a stunning range of colors are simply breathtaking. Whether it's
autumn, when the colorful leaves cover the park, or it's summer, when all the
plants bloom, Plitvice is the perfect place to surround yourself with untouched
nature.
2. Island of Korcula(korchula)
According to legend, the world's most famous explorer, Marco
Polo, was born in Korcula. This island abounds in greenery, wine vineyards and
small, quiet beaches. It offers a fascinating account of history with medieval
towers and cobbled streets, charming villages and panoramic views of the deep
blue seas.
3. The Roman Amphitheater in Pula
The amphitheater in Pula, so large that it can be seen from
all over the city, will remind you of romantic walks through the Roman streets.
The amphitheater was used in the Roman period for gladiatorial battles followed
by thousands of spectators. But there is also a romantic story behind the
construction of the theater that says that it was built by Emperor Vespasian as
a sign of affection and respect for his mistress, Antonia Senida.
4. Rovinj
Rovinj steals Dubrovnik's reputation as the most popular
place to visit in Croatia in recent years and it is quite understandable why.
Even before the Eastern Roman Empire took control, Rovinj was a beautiful city
built by the Illyrian tribes and was one of the most picturesque places on the
Croatian coast. It abounds in historical ruins for exploration and cobbled
streets intertwined in this unusual city. Rovinj's beauty can best be seen from
the top of the tower at sunset, as the last rays reflect the colorful buildings
on the sea surface.
5. Lokrum Island
The island of Lokrum offers you the chance to keep a piece
of Croatia for yourself. There are many secluded stone beaches perfect for a
picnic or to spend a few hours diving, sunbathing and having fun with loved
ones. For adventurous spirits, there is the possibility of taking a kayak tour
and sailing under Dubrovnik's ancient city walls. In any case, the island of
Lokrum is a place worth spending your money on your next trip to Croatia.
