Istria and Kvaner
Surrounded by crystal clear waters, the Istrian region bears lush green vegetation. Also looking out onto the sea is the cooler, cloudier region of Kvaner that attracts cycling enthusiasts from all over the world.
Lika
A little piece of paradise for nature lovers offering a range of beautiful landscapes: mountains, rivers, gorges, caves and lakes. There are plenty of national parks to visit but the Plitvice National Park is not to be missed!
Northern Dalmatia
Journey into the heart of the country to discover the beauty of Croatia's cultural heritage with countless cathedrals and churches to visit. Further down south of the Sibenik region, water lovers will fall in love with the spectacular waterfalls, reefs and lakes in the Kornati islands.
Slavonia
With a culture still influenced by ancient myths and traditions, the region of Slavonia is crossed by three rivers: the Sava, the Drava and the Danube. Wrongfully overlooked by tourists, it's a great place to explore the region's natural wonders and taste some delicious local food.
Southern Dalmatia
Split and Dubrovnik are both good starting points when you're travelling to Croatia. Two pearls of the Adriatic that have attracted kings, artists and emperors for centuries, no doubt thanks to its magical surroundings.
Routes and distances maps
Croatia is easily accessed by plane, boat or car. The flight from Paris is approximately two hours to Dubrovnik or Split, both good starting points for your holiday. The modern motorways and large network of buses will get you to almost any city in the country. Watch out for the locals as they tend to be surprisingly dangerous drivers. A highly efficient ferry service will get you from one island to another.
