Croatia is “a little land, which has been so ineffably blessed, whose inhabitants are gentle, hard-working and intelligent, an oasis of civilazation...” (Alexandre Lauriston, Napoleonic general)

Although Croatia is not a large country, it is a land that is Mediterranean, Central European, mountainous, flat, coastal and continental. Characterized by a diversity and wealth of nature, a unique cultural heritage and traditions which have been kept alive over centuries, Croatia is one of the most beautiful destinations in Europe

Some of the best-known towns along the 1777 km long coastline with its 1,185 islands, islets and reefs, are Dubrovnik, Split, Trogir and Porec, all of them listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Zadar is the geographic centre of the Croatian Adriatic and at the same time the cultural, and administrative center of Northern Dalmatia. During its existence it was for many centuries the home of the Ilyrian Liburni and for 1000 years the capital city of Dalmatia.

The Northern Adriatic town of Opatija, known for its long tradition in hospitality, was a popular destination among European nobility and is today a popular conference destination with a superb hotel infrastructure and modern meeting facilities.

Zagreb is the capital and a center of arts and culture with its numerous museums and galleries hosting world-renowned exhibits and festivals. Easy accessible from all over Europe, Zagreb offers meeting and convention venues and accommodation in world-class hotels like the Sheraton, Westin Opera and the Regent Esplanade.

Almost 10 percent of Croatia is protected as part of a national park or preserve. Among the 8 national parks, the Plitvice Lakes NP is the most known and is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
