Wanderlust Voted Croatia The Most Desirable County in Europe
​
​
"Croatia has been crawling its way up the Wanderlust Reader Travel Awards rankings for the past few years, and now it’s deservedly snapped up Gold position. This jewel of the Adriatic is best known to travellers for its coastal stars, including the historic city of Dubrovnik – last year’s Most Desirable City in Europe winner. But beyond the island and shoreline’s striking scenery, there are plenty of cultural discoveries and adventures to soak up, both by the sea and further inland. From Pula’s extraordinary Roman ruins and Zagreb’s unusual museums, to the wild waterfalls of Plitvice and mountain landscapes of Risnjak, authentic Croatia awaits."

Conde Nast voted Hvar Island as Top 10 Island in Europe
"With warm summers and mild winters, the island of Hvar is the sunniest spot in Croatia—there are over 2,800 hours of sunshine annually. It may be known for its beaches and turquoise water, but there’s another side to this resort island. From the town of Hvar on the island’s southern shore, make the slow, uphill climb to TvrÄ‘ava Fortica, a 13th-century fortress with the best views around."
