The best beaches of Croatia

Officially recognized as the second-largest in Europe (after Cyprus), the coasts of Croatia tend to be composed of pebbles rather than sand. The best beaches are on the islands: Rab enjoys a lovely bay in Lopar, Korcula has two sandy beaches near Lumbarda, while the tiny island Susak is entirely composed of fine and compact sand.

The most popular beach (and ideal for photos) is the beach of small white pebbles, in a state-of-the-art form, called Zlatni Rat on the island of Brač (accessible by ferry from Split). Brac island Croatia

Visit to Istria “Italian”, by bike

The peninsula of Istria, in the northernmost part of the east coast, sprinkled with vineyards, villages and Roman remains that take you to the coastal towns of Italy ( Poreč , Pula and Rovinj ) and their succession of coves and beaches. The network of bike paths in the region makes the bike a good way to visit the sites and the surroundings of the sea.

Staying in one of these coastal cities is an excellent place to discover the Adriatic coast. You will find a multitude of holiday homes on the Adriatic coast of Croatia.

Privileges less frequented places

Most visitors go directly to the Dalmatia coast due to more flights to Split and Dubrovnik. But Croatia is full of places still too unknown and yet magnificent. For example, Brijuni Islands , all close to Pula , are accessible via the fishing village of Fazana and will allow you to spend a day on deserted beaches with backdrop of Roman ruins. Or even the island Cres , the largest Croatian island, with its beautiful secret beaches and trails through the Tramuntana Forest. Pula Croatia

Certainly, Dubrovnik is immanquable (see below), but consider what Pula offers and its Roman remains (see photo), or Sibenik , who had a youth treatment three years ago. The best of all being Split , with its lively Saturday market, excellent beaches and esplanade Riva lined with cafes and bars.

Travel from island to island

Off Makarska there is an island for all tastes: the very green Mljet (accessible via Dubrovnik) is the best to enjoy nature with its national park, Vis (via Split) for the discovery of Croatian specialties, Brač for water sports and Hvar to favor relaxation and spot celebrities.

The best way to move between the islands is to focus on well-connected groups. For example, it is easy to move between Krk , Rab and “Festard Island” Pag , or then enter Brač , Hvar and Vis . Check the ferry schedules on site.

The ideal is to find an apartment or holiday home on an island of Croatia. This would allow you to find yourself in the heart of the islands and to visit most of them without having from the continent every time. You could save valuable time on your vacation. In addition, you'll be close to diving spots and nautical activities.

Dubrovnik

It is full of carefully preserved buildings with a range of baroque, Renaissance and Gothic architecture decorating monasteries, fountains and churches.
