Croatia reaches from the eastern alpine foothills in the northwest over the Pannonische lowlands, up to the banks of the Danube in the east; the central area is dominated by the Dinara mountain range and the southern area ends at the Adriatic sea.

It was not the Croatians who suggested the Adriatic coast is the most beautiful of the Mediterranean coastline. No it came from others: from modern boat and yachting friends, world travellers, famous sailors, yes, even from the Roman Emperors, who built villas and summer houses, even whole settlements, for their repeated visits to the area to relax and recuperate. There is no other area in the Mediterranean region where there are so many islands, such numerous bays, picturesque beaches and sun drenched rocks, as in Croatia. And the fact there are four national parks and five nature parks underlines the beauty of this holiday destination.

A coastline with numerous islands, beautiful beaches with dense pine brush, white, fine pebbles on the edge of crystal clear sea water: this is where the Adriatic gently reaches the highest point of the Mediterranean and forms a unique landscape which has become a paradise for tourists.
