With its sublime stretch of Adriatic coast, Croatia has long been regarded as one of the most beautiful parts of Europe. Once again a booming tourist industry, visitors are flocking to the country’s string of coastal and island resorts trimmed with emerald-blue waters. Croatia is an ideal destination for lovers of sea, sunshine and medieval villages. While the vast majority of tourists head straight for the Adriatic coast, inland Croatia also holds enjoyable attractions, notably the capital, Zagreb, and Dubrovnik, considered the jewel of Croatia.
