Croatia

A Balkan country on the Adriatic, known for its coast of a thousand islands, medieval walled towns and the Plitvice Lakes.

Croatia lies in southeastern Europe on the Adriatic Sea, with a winding coastline and over a thousand islands. Along the Dalmatian coast, Dubrovnik, Split and Zadar preserve Roman and medieval old towns, and islands such as Hvar are ideal for island-hopping holidays. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park has its cascading lakes, the capital, Zagreb, has a Central European flair, and the Istrian peninsula is known for its food and hilltop towns. Summer is peak beach season, while May–June and September are more pleasant. Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik all have international airports.
