Although the inland of Croatia is beautiful as well, lot of tourists decide for one of the places along the Croatian coast. Most of the beautiful places in Croatia are located on the Adriatic sea coast ( National Park Brijuni islands, Roman arena in Pula, National Park Kornati islands, old towns Dubrovnik, Zadar, Trogir, Sibenik, Split, National Park island Mljet ... ).

Croatia Travel Stories:
Chasing Waterfalls - Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia by
Fiona Honor Hurley
I had decided to go to the Plitvice Lakes National Park on a whim, when a drunken Australian girl in a Dubrovnik pub told me that it was among the most beautiful places she had seen in all her wide travels.
So here I was in Zadar, two hours from my goal. Or rather, in the seaside suburb of Borik, home to the youth hostel, camp site, and several hotels. The girl at the tourist office told me I could go to the Lakes and back in a day, but on the return journey the buses wouldn't stop if they were full. To avoid the risk of being stranded, I booked a place on a tour. The bus would stop at Borik, at the car park of the Hotel Donat at 8:30....read the whole article
An Ear for Croatia - Hvar, Croatia by Terje Raa
Opera in the morning, cicadas in the afternoon, in the evening folk songs and retro pop. Every hour of the day seems to have its own melody in Hvar Town. It's like a song contest.
Hvar Town is the capital of the island of Hvar, one hour by catamaran from the city of Split. This place has become the most fashionable tourist resort in Croatia, for many reasons: its medieval charms, central location that's ideal for island hopping, coupled with a healthy climate and a long tradition of tourism, starting 1868 with the Hygienic Society of Hvar.
Between 1420 and 1797, the Venetians put their unmistakable mark on the town, only interrupted by a Turkish onslaught in 1571. Today's annual invasion of tourists is more peaceful in spite of its vast numbers. Budget travelers arrive by catamaran, whereas the rich ones arrive on luxury yachts, their own or rented; quite practical as none of the existing hotels can match the standard of the magnificent pleasure crafts....read the whole article
Balkan Beauty, Balkan Beast by
Melissa Vinitsky
With my Balkan experience over, I have had time to reflect on the many things I have seen. Back on the "mainland" of Europe in Italy, as I like to call it, since the Balkans seems like a European tangent to me, another world away from the main tourist sights (well, except for Italian tourists that is). The Dalmatian Coast in Croatia is a land of beaches, turquoise waters, and medieval, red-roofed towns. I was on three islands: Brac, known for Bol, which is a beach that sticks out like a finger and changes shape according to the wind and the tides; Hvar, the party island and destination for thousands of Italian tourists. The last island was Korcula, the beautiful island and home of Marco Polo, and my favorite.
Last I was in Dubrovnik, almost the final city in Croatia and for that reason, and its beauty, I understand why they call it the "pearl of the Dalmatian Coast." It is a walled city sitting atop high, rocky cliffs overlooking the clear blue sea. Sitting atop the walls at our favorite bar, where all we could see was the walls, rocks below, and sea, I really felt like I was at the end of the world. Maybe how Christopher Columbus felt setting off on his journeys. The world wouldn't be such a bad place if it ended in Dubrovnik....read the whole article
