Here, sun-soaked white pebbled beaches, which many regard as the finest in Croatia, blend with ancient pine forests, traditional fishing villages and cool, wooded mountains, all capped by the mighty, sheltering Mount Biokovo - a majestic peak whose reflection is effortlessly mirrored in the translucent blue-green waters that caress the coastline.

With its excellent sun record and fabulous, gently shelving bays and inlets, it’s a paradise for families with young children wanting a lazy beach holiday as well as those looking to mix relaxation with some leisurely enjoyment of unspoiled countryside, rich history and impossibly beautiful islands.

Alongside all these attractions are our hugely appealing and charming resorts. Makarska, Baska Voda, Hvar, Bol, Stari Grad, Trogir, Primosten, Podgora all offer an enticing fusion of lovely beaches, pretty streets and laidback entertainments.

Last but not least are the captivating islands that lie off the coast - first, cosmopolitan Hvar with its elegant limestone capital Hvar Town, Stari Grad, Jelsa and the stunning Brac with its sensational and much-photographed Golden Horn beach.
