"A Small Country for a Big Vacation " a Croatia Travel Page by polardabar

Since Croatia is the country I live in, I'm gonna write about it in a realistic, but what I hope will be a helpful, manner. I'm just gonna name some characteristics, try to dismiss prejudice & represent you my home country in a nice way. Maybe not all of my tips will be completely objective & many things prove to be totally different, but, as people say, better safe than sound. ;) So, here goes...

Croatia is known for its mineral hot springs & thermal spas, rustic architecture, grasslands, old oak forest, historical cities, castles aso. It has an unbelievably rich cultural heritage, for which the main reason is the history. Croatia has been exposed to numerous cultural influences [Greek, Roman, Venetian, Hungarian, Osman etc.] which made it keep the best of each. There are even cities [like Split, Omiš & Nin] that have wholly been proclaimed museums! Split is famous for its Diocletian palace, a part of the city center & now actually the city center. ;) But not only Split has its historical core - Zadar, Dubrovnik, Motovun, Pula & many more are famous for surrounding walls, arenas, churches & more...

Zagreb, as Croatia's capital, is the legislative, political, educational & business center, loved by some & disliked by the others... Since Croatia's on its way to the EU, Zagreb's streets are often blocked & you can see dozens of darkened BMWs passing by... We'll see what happens...

Note: This page page is going to be updated regularly, since I live here & things are constantly changing... Check out my tips for more info! I'll do my best to update them regularly. ;)
