Travel Croatia - AdriaCroatia

Dalmatia

The southernmost part of Croatia comprises the tourist region of Dalmatia, which makes it the largest and the best known Croatian historical region. This is a region of sun, quality food and high water quality Adriatic Sea along with the number of islands, coves and channels, and enchanting settlements with stone-built houses makes Dalmatia an attractive place for tourism.

The Kvarner Gulf

The Kvarner Gulf (Croatian: Kvarnerski zaljev, Italian: Golfo del Quarnero/Quarnaro/Carnaro; sometimes also Kvarner Bay) is a bay in the northern Adriatic Sea, located between the Istrian peninsula and the northern Croatian seacoast. The main islands within the Kvarner are Cres, Krk, Pag, Rab and Lošinj. The main portion of the Kvarner bay is that between the mainland, Cres and Krk.

Istria

Istria is the largest Croatian peninsula, unique and magnificent, around which the Adriatic Sea has deeply etched itself into the land, sprinkling its jagged coastline with a thousand lagoons and islands, and surrounded in the northeast by the Cicarija and Ucka mountains, Istria is prepared to reveal its thousand years of history to the chance traveller.

Central Croatia

Krapina is the main cultural centre of Hrvatsko Zagorje. The town features very rich historical and cultural heritage, which makes it also an important tourist centre. The major tourist attraction of Krapina are the remains of the Pleistocene (prehistoric) man of the Neanderthal type (Homo crapiniensis) on the Husnjakovo hill, discovered at the end of the 19th century, which represent one of the most important Neanderthal sites in the world. Important as a tourist area is also the urban core of Krapina with some well preserved town palaces.

Lika and Gorski Kotar

The mountains of the Republic of Croatia mainly belong to the Dinaric range, and to a lesser degree are an eastern extension of the Alps and a remains of the old Oriental landmass. In the north west part of the Republic both systems meet, in a so-called transitional zone. Although the mountains are not very high, there being no peak above 2000 m, they are very interesting.
