Croatia

Roman cities, Adriatic coastlines, waterfalls, and easy-going escapes where history and the sea are never far apart.

Croatia makes it easy to combine historic cities with the Adriatic coast, island views, waterfalls, and relaxed evenings by the sea. These guides focus on practical short trips and realistic itineraries, including how to use places such as Split as a base for exploring the old town, nearby landscapes, coastal walks, and memorable day trips without trying to fit too much into each day.
