Croatia
In the last ten years, Croatia has really earned its place as one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe. From the northern city of Pula and its Italian-influenced culture, to the beautiful and ancient city of Dubrovnik in the south, Croatia has something for everyone in its idyllic coastline, rich heritage, fascinating culture and amazing food.
