It’s no surprise that Croatia has become such a popular destination in recent years. From its shimmering Adriatic coastline to its ancient walled cities and spectacular national parks, this Balkan country has so much to offer.
The Dalmatian Coast is undeniably one of Croatia’s highlights. There are hundreds of little islands – some inhabited, some wild and empty – each with its own character.
Hvar is known for its glitz and glamour, with fancy bars, restaurants, and high-end hotels. But it’s easy to get off the beaten path, too, along this gorgeous stretch of the Mediterranean.
I love Korčula’s medieval charm and Vis’s quiet, untouched beauty.
And the mainland is just as spectacular.
Exploring Dubrovnik, with its iconic city walls and terracotta rooftops, genuinely feels like stepping into a storybook. There’s a reason they chose to film Game of Thrones here!
Split’s Diocletian’s Palace and the ruins at Salona offer an incredible glimpse into ancient Roman history.
Plitvice Lakes National Park, with its cascading waterfalls and turquoise pools, is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited.
Inland, you’ll also find rolling vineyards, traditional villages, and towering mountains that are perfect for hiking.
I love how accessible Croatia is, too. Buzzing cities, peaceful islands, historical treasures, and natural wonders are all within easy reach of each other.
The roads are excellent, and public transport is cheap, efficient, clean, and reliable. Things have been designed to be easy, and everything just works.
(Wouldn’t it be great if the UK was like that?)
Anyway, here are some of my favorite photos from my trips to Croatia – I hope you like them.
