Croatia: Adriatic Delights
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2010 | A fascinating land with a hard-fought history in a complex corner of Europe, Croatia is emerging as one of Europe's top destinations. Sampling the very best of Croatia, we start by exploring the fabled Dalmatian Coast from dramatic Dubrovnik to crusty Adriatic island ports. Heading inland, we hike through Plitvice Lakes National Park and enjoy the thriving capital city Zagreb. Our Croatian finale: the Istrian Peninsula and its enchanting port town of Rovinj. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #croatia

@Bainsworth i dont think Klapa is older than english lol but its a genre of music. It can be just acapella singing, usually between 3 and 7 guys and at times with music. Oftentimes about heartbreak, to the point that my namesake is a girl being cried about in one of these.

Well, come :-) as for all Mediterranean, avoid august, it’s too crowded and expensive, Dubrovnik in particular. Avoid Pag (it’s something like Ibiza in a small scale, noisy), but for a nice holiday we have so many islands ithat are awesome and many small cities along the coastline with parts of unspoiled coastline (for now). I hope you’ll like it.

I love croatia as a country, i love croatia, i love croatian language, croatian people and the croatian culture.

Imagine that croatia, a nazi-oriented society since 1920, was invited at this anti-fascist ceremony!!!, Croatia proportionally killed the most civilians in WW2: 2 million croatian killed 700,000 civilians, which every 3rd croatian killed at least 1 women or child which places Croatia as the top country with the largest criminal record in the world.

Croatia was simply beautiful. Went in August 2018 with my wife for our honeymoon. Could not have picked a better destination. The crowds during the summer months are rough. Hvar is overrun with young adults from all over Europe. Plitvice Lakes was one long line. It was like waiting 2 hours for a ride at Disneyland. Luckily the beauty was worth the wait.
