Holiday Rentals Croatia Croatia’s tourism figures are perhaps one of the clearest indicators of the state of this small nation. The country has been welcoming visitors numbering twice its population on an annual basis.
The attraction is no mystery. Sharing a long border with Hungary and being mere miles by boat from Italy, Croatia is a gateway to diverse corners of Europe, and itself is probably one of the most fascinating countries in the Bulkan region.
The country is situated on the sparkling Adriatic Sea, historically a source of wealth and knowledge of the outside world. Croatia boasts an impressively long coastline—full of historic harbors and prime beaches—making it a lightning rod for commerce and tourism. Rustic and desolate highlands beckon visitors inland from the coast, while Mediterranean regions offer year round enjoyment.
Now is one of the best times to visit Croatia. The energy of an improving economy adds luster and positive energy to daily interactions, and the tourism industry is keen to catering to tourists ranging from this country’s fabulous five-star guests, to backpackers traveling through Europe on a shoestring.
Croatia still hasn’t quite gotten up to speed with the rest of Europe. Despite the continued hardship this still may spell for some of the locals, travelers to Croatia can enjoy some of the cheapest prices in all of Europe. Again, now is the best time to travel to Croatia.
Indeed, while tourism is re-emerging as an economic asset, tourists don’t yet run amuck. In fact, up to today backpackers report that Croatia is pleasantly uncrowded. In other words, Croatia is your playground.
From the old town in Zagred that dates back to the middle ages and is home to artifacts of a rich and bizarre Bulkan aristocratic antiquity, to the heart-stopping coastline packed with gorgeous sun-bathers throughout the summer months, Croatia is full of fascinating things to do and see all year round. Spend a week island hopping through Kornati National Park archipelago, or visit the breathtaking Plitvice Lakes, so glasslike and pristine that they’ve been named an official UN World Heritage site.
Had enough of nature, duck back into the throb and pulse of an emerging nightlife not only in the capital city of Zagreb, but Dubrovnik and Split are second up and rapidly gaining in terms of heat. Not to mention the historic architectural wonder that provides a backdrop for nearly every step through any of these magical, enchanting Croatian cities. Stay a while. Whether on an extended vacation to Croatia or traveling through, renting an apartment to stay in is both affordable and fun. |
