I wish I could start my saying that you should visit Croatia because they are the most recent soccer World Cup champions but that would not be true. Thankfully there are many other reasons why Croatia should be on everyone’s bucket list so here’s why you should be joining our next WOW trip to Croatia:
-
This Adriatic country has one of the most diverse landscape filled with stunning beaches, rugged mountains, forest and many islands so pack your bags for some real adventure.
-
Red roofs, cobblestone pathways, and strolling through fairytale cities is your idea of a vacation. You will be visiting cities like Zagreb popular for its vibrancy and youthful energy; Sibinek, Split which are popular coastal towns and filled with ruins, history and Gothic architecture and Dubrovnik.
-
You want to experience true Mediterranean blue – azure blue, emerald green, deep blue, turquoise - because that Blue is unexplainable. Changes with the refraction of sunlight, occurs due to the presence of chlorophyll, changes with the reflection of clear skies and brings serenity in ways that you probably cannot imagine.
-
You are a Game of Thrones fan and have always dreamt of running, sailing, driving in that scenic landscape filled with the unspoiled beauty of the King’s Landing. Who knows you may even meet the Lannisters!
-
You will go anywhere in the world for local seafood and if that were not enough you can hit a local tavern for some Dalmatian smoked ham, cheese, olive and anchovies. Mediterranean climate is also conducive to grape production which means pouring delicious wine everywhere you go.
