Croatia's great beauty has long attracted a loyal legion of visitors, beguiled by her bewitching charms. The inspiration for many a literary figure from Dante to Agatha Christie, Lord Byron to George Bernard Shaw, who so fittingly described Dubrovnik as 'heaven on earth'.
The rolling landscapes of Croatia can claim a distinctive character and charm. From the inner beauty of continental Croatia, where the cobbled streets and medieval architecture of the capital, Zagreb, are reminiscent of Vienna, to the stunning 2000km-long coastline and over 1000 islands. The coast attracts the greatest number of visitors for its picture-card Venetian towns, gloriously blue waters and patchwork of islands and archipelagos which are best explored by boat or privately chartered gulet.
