Why Visit Croatia
Croatia is located between South-Central Europe and Middle
Europe. Its shape resembles that of a crescent or a horseshoe,
which flanks its neighbours Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina
and Montenegro. To the north lie Slovenia and Hungary;
Italy lies across the Adriatic Sea. Its mainland territory
is split in two non-contiguous parts by the short coastline
of Bosnia and Herzegovina around Neum.
Croatia
extends from the furthest eastern edges of the Alps
in the north-west to the Pannonian lowlands and the
banks of the Danube in the east; its central region
is covered by the Dinara mountain range, and its southern
parts extend to the coast of the Adriatic Sea.
kuna (1 kuna = 100 lipa). Foreign currency

Popular Tourist
Sites include:
Dubrovnik -
The most beautiful jewel of Croatia’s cultural heritage,
the old city of Dubrovnik, is located in the southernmost
part of the sunniest Croatian tourist region of all: the
Dalmatia-Dubrovnik area. It comprises one county, the County
of Dubrovnik-Neretva, which extends almost entirely along
the shore. And within it, Dubrovnik, the most beautiful
and the most important, but by no means the only, cultural
gem.
Split -
The largest tourist region in Dalmatia is the part around
Split, its largest city, a region which covers only one
county, the County of Split-Dalmatia. This is the centre
and the true heart of Dalmatia, where the majority of
its inhabitants live, where the main Dalmatian islands
are located, where the beaches are the most beautiful.
Dalmatia -
Dalmatia is the largest and in the world the best known
Croatian historical region. It occupies the southernmost
part of the country and is a land of sun, warm sea, olives,
wine, fish, song, and picturesque, stone-built settlements;
in a word, the true Mediterranean.
Zagreb - Zagreb is an old Central European city. For centuries
it has been a focal point of culture and science, and
now of commerce and industry as well. It lies on the
intersection of important routes between the Adriatic
coast and Central Europe.

Climate:
Croatia has
three climate zones; the prevailing climate in the country’s
interior is moderately rainy; on the highest peaks, a
forest climate with snow falls,
while the areas along the Adriatic coast have a pleasantly
mild Mediterranean climate with a large number of sunny
days; summers are dry and hot, winters mild and wet with
significant precipitations. Average temperatures in the
interior: January -2 to 0o C, somewhat lower at the highest
altitudes; August - about 20 oC and about 12 oC on the
highest peaks. Average temperature in the littoral: January
- 5 to 9 oC, August - 22 to 25 oC; sea temperature in
winter: 2 oC; in summer, about 25 oC
Croatian Cuisine:
Croatian cuisine is heterogeneous and is therefore known
as the cuisine of regions, since every region has its
own distinct culinary traditions. Its modern roots
date back to ancient periods and the differences in
the selection of foodstuffs and forms of cooking are
most notable between those on the mainland and those
in coastal regions. Mainland cuisine is more characterized
by the earlier Slavic and the more recent contacts
with the more famous gastronomic orders of today -
Hungarian, Viennese and Turkish - while the coastal
region bears the influences of the Greek, Roman and
Illyrian, as well as of the later Mediterranean cuisine
- Italian and French.
Croatian cuisine
can, roughly summarized, be divided into some few regions
which all have their specific cooking
traditions, characteristic for the area and not necessarily
well-known in other parts of Croatia. Meanwhile, however,
most dishes can be found all across the country. This
is also why the varied cuisine of Croatia is called "cuisine
of the regions".
