Croatia Holidays
What a Croatia holiday looks like:
Holidays to Croatia are fast becoming a new favourite for sun and sea at an affordable price. Croatia is a fascinating country, with medieval towns, hip cities, and over a thousand tiny islands along its crystal-clear Adriatic coast. A relaxing beach holiday or an action-packed city break - Croatia really does have it all!
Add into the mix warm and welcoming people, scenic natural beauty, tasty gastronomy, and vibrant culture, history, and nightlife and you have the recipe for the perfect holiday – and all just a short flight from the UK.
Where is the best place to stay in?
Dubrovnik - the Pearl of the Adriatic - is a melting pot of culture, amazing architecture, exquisite food, and bustling nightlife. Step back in time at the stone-walled Old Town - famously featured in Game of Thrones and Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Just up the Dalmatian coastline is the island of Hvar. The rich and famous from Croatia and beyond flock here every summer; especially to Hvar Town with its palm-tree-lined promenades, centuries-old architecture, and cool little bars tucked away down hidden alleyways.
