Summer holiday in Croatia


Advertised as ‘The Med as it used to be’, Croatia is still a relatively hidden gem on the tourist trail. History, culture and unspoiled natural beauties will make your stay in Croatia truly memorable.

One of the most popular and well-known destinations in Croatia is Dubrovnik. Travellers who approach Dubrovnik city will find an extraordinary sight: its walls a powerful image of man’s mastery of nature – the wild rock of the mountains behind, transformed into the sturdy walls. The Dubrovnik Riviera is the region surrounding the UNESCO World Heritage site of Dubrovnik. The city itself is packed with architectural gems and the medieval wall that encloses the historic Old Town is magnificent. Dubrovnik boasts of numerous high-end hotels, and if you want alternative quality accommodation, you should check out the new project called the Dubrovnik Quality Private Services. This offer will let you choose the services suitable to your taste and within your planned budget. They offer the possibility of arranging and booking accommodation and meals directly with the private apartments, villas and restaurant owners.

Another must-visit summer destination in Croatia is the island of Brac. It is the third largest island in Croatia, located just opposite Split, easy to reach by frequent ferry connections. Many travel agents advertise Brac as a sleepy haven of traditional villages, which boasts of one of the best beaches in the world – Zlatni rat in Bol. If you travel to Brac, you can experience the traditional way of Brac life, taste the culinary delights of the light Dalmatian cuisine, such as sheep and goat cheese, together with the healthy virgin olive oil and extraordinary red wine called ‘Plavac mali’, produced in Bol, on the southern side of the island. With a long tradition in tourism, Brac offers a variety of accommodation, from two to four star hotels or hotel apartments to private apartments, villas and rooms in family houses. The people on the island are friendly and well-known for their hospitality and high-quality services. Memories of past times will be awaken while walking down the narrow streets, listening to the sounds of the mandolin playing the Dalmatian traditional songs.
