Croatia is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe and is also recognized and known worldwide for its crystal clear water and beautiful nature. In addition, it is easy to reach, since 2023 even without a passport, without border controls, and without foreign currency. Find out why Croatia is the best summer travel destination in Europe in the following reasons.
In Croatia you will not only find beaches, bays and nature. The many cities and towns are sights in themselves, such as Opatija, Rijeka, or Krk. Croatia's history also brings must-see attractions with it, including the Pula Amphitheater and the walls of Dubrovnik's Old Town. If it gets boring on the beach or you've already seen the old town, there are countless exciting activities that go hand in hand with culture in Croatia. These include the olive harvest, wine tasting, or a tour of the vineyards.
With more than 1200 islands and their bays, 7 national parks, dozens of nature parks and a wealth of beaches, activities and attractions, Croatia is a must for nature and beach lovers. The sea water in particular is known for its purity and clarity for diving, swimming and snorkeling. Diving goggles are not necessary, because in Croatia the underwater world can be observed from the boat.
Some top beaches in Croatia are Oprna Beach, Golden Beach and the Vela Plaza on the island of Krk, as well as Punta Rata beach in Brela, Dalmatia. Game of Thrones has been filmed in several of these beautiful locations in Croatia, most recently in Stara Baška on the island of Krk, just behind our villa Marim.
The diverse regions and foreign influences have left their mark on Croatian cuisine over the centuries and made it something very special. Kvarner Bay and Istria are known for regional products such as smoked ham, olive oil, wine, goulash with pasta "Šurlice", cheese, and the famous Motovun truffles. Dalmatia, on the other hand, inspires with grilled lamb, black risotto and fish and squid ala "Peka". A culinary journey through Croatia offers many opportunities to try, especially for luxury holidaymakers: Local wine producers offer tours and tastings of their best Croatian wines, such as Katunar in Vrbnik on the island of Krk.
The coast of Croatia delights tourists all year round with its Mediterranean climate. The bathing season begins in May and lasts until September, but even in winter some people use the sea to cool off after the sauna or whirlpool. In the summer months you can enjoy warm summer nights on the coast and breathtaking sunsets on the Adriatic every day, but in winter it is just as beautiful and also calm and very contemplative. In addition to cycling, hiking, swimming, sailing and diving, there are many more activities in Croatia that are fun in both summer and winter.
Recreation by the sea can be optimally combined with sporting and interesting activities in a villa in Croatia. A holiday in a luxury villa from Marim Luxury Villas is a unique experience that we, as lovers of Croatia, can heartily recommend to everyone.
