Choosing A Destination In Croatia
The picturesque Plitvice Lakes, consisting of 16 lakes and waterfalls, are breathtaking, and are surrounded by dense woodland, forming the largest national park in Croatia.
No visitor to Croatia can afford to miss a visit to the Old City of Dubrovnik, with its unique architecture, and high wall encircling the city. If you choose to visit Croatia during the summer months, you can the experience the spectacular summer festival of Dubrovnik.
The summer festival has been celebrated annually since 1950, and features open air performances of music, opera and dance, by local and international artistes. The opening ceremony, accompanied by fireworks and music, heralds the start of week long celebrations across Dubrovnik.
Those who admire architecture can marvel at an array of Catholic churches and other monuments and holiday shopping can be seen at its best in the numerous stores selling coral jewellery, set artistically in gold and sterling silver. If you like seafood, there is plenty of fish, oysters and mussels at very reasonable prices. Pasta and pizza are much in evidence and excellent wine, too.
You can catch a ferry down to Split from Dubrovnik, or reach Split by bus or plane from Zagreb, the Croatian capital. Any mention of Split must bring the Diocletian Palace to the mind; the palace is a massive edifice, and at one time its grounds extended over one million square feet. Much of the old palace is still in evidence today, and the inner city of Split, together with the palace, has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Peristyle is a monumental court, which provided access to the imperial apartments to the north, Diocletian's Mausoleum to the east, and Jupiter’s Temple, to the west.
Naturist Resorts
The concept of naturism is one of living in complete harmony with nature. Nowhere else in the world is the practice of naturism so convincingly demonstrated than in the resorts of Valalta, Monsena and Koversada. Practitioners of naturism do away with the psychological and social barriers of clothing in their search for holistic health, and do so in a community setting. They believe that naturism promotes health and well being, through the complete contact of the body with the elements, in a environment free from the pollution and stress often associated with modern living.
Conclusion
There is something for everyone to explore and enjoy in Croatia. For those seeking a healthy environment, the bracing air of the seaside is invigorating, and energising. You can take part in many water sports, or take a trek up a mountain side, if you prefer. The vast open spaces and tourist resorts extend a welcome to visitors from all over the world. Whatever your preference, the country of Croatia has a charm all its own, and you will have a holiday that you can remember for years to come.
