Posted by: ConnectoTravel.com


What a better way to start a blog than to start from the basics, right? When it comes to travel/tourist blogs the most important facts, tips and notes are definitely those of the destination you would like to visit, or have visited, and in our case, the topic is Croatia. You will probably think that it is not that difficult to write about a country with so many interesting sites, since one doesn't even know where to start when describing its beauties. But then again, that is the thing- where does one start to describe the beauty that is Croatia? 5 reasons to visit Croatia...more like 500 but we have to leave something for later. So here it goes:

1. The Adriatic Sea - 5,835 km of the Croatian coast is quite a lot if you consider the fact that the surface of the sea covers 33 200 km2 and the overall size of Croatia covers 89 891 km2. Not to mention 1,185 perfectly scattered islands from Umag to Dubrovnik, which leads us to our number two...

2. Dubrovnik & Co. - the town on the south of Croatia, so beautiful, so surreal that you'll think that you have walked into a fairytale. The difference is only that this town is real and its relatives like Trogir, Split, Zadar, Šibenik, Pula, Poreč, Rovinj etc are just as fair and worthy of your visit.

3. The nature - As we have previously mentioned, Croatia is one of the smaller European countries when it comes to its size, but on such a small surface so many natural wonders can be found, that you should plan your trip wisely. Mountains, plains, rivers and the protected areas of national parks like Plitvice, Krka, Kornati, Velebit and so on will make a perfect stress free vacation.

4. Culture & history - Not only is Croatia on an interesting position when it comes to geography and natural wonders, but its location on the crossroads of Eastern, South and Central Europe has left Croatia with heritage worth admiration. The architecture of the Roman empire and the austrian and hungarian influence have made Croatia a mix of cultures that if you travel through the most part of it, you will have the feeling like you had visited few different countries.

5. People - And finally, if we already have to keep the list to only five reasons, when you meet Croatian people, you will see why they made the list. Their hospitality and simplicity combined with all other aforementioned things will give that special touch to your experience of Croatia. But for that, you should definitely come to Croatia and see it for yourself!
