Croatia Tours knows Croatia best

Croatia is a diverse country spoiled by nature in the heart of Europe. It has an ancient history that goes back thousands of years. Every road leads to a story waiting to be told. Explore Croatia from its amazing clear blue sea, pebbled beaches to the olive groves standing for centuries. Amazing wine regions and Tuscany like landscapes. The people are friendly, the Mediterranean food fresh and divine, the ancient architecture mesmerising, there is something for everyone.

CULTURE AND HISTORY

Croatia is in the heart of Europe and the doorway to Western Europe. Croatian's have always lived there and there is a long and proud history of Croatian royalty that goes back all the way to the first Croatian King - Tomislav (925AD). Croatia has also been influenced by many cultures through its past including Byzantine, Roman, Venetian, Celtic, Illyrian and Austro-Hungarian to name a few. The Knights Templar and the Crusaders also inhabited the region in days gone by.

All have left their mark in art, architecture, traditions, music and culture. On the 1st of July 2013, Croatia became the newest member of the European Union.

GET IN THE KNOW ...

The locals love their food, wine and song and in the Dalmatian coastal region, the best places to eat and drink are the Konoba's (taverns). Make sure to find these traditional dwellings as the experience can be brilliant. During the summer months there are many cultural events and Fešta's (festivals) being held so make sure to find out what will be on while on your trip.
