Opatija is often referred to as the “Croatian Monte Carlo”, so it is no surprise that EU-backed website European Best Destinations has listed this beautiful resort among the best for a romantic break on the seaside.

Once the playground of the Austro-Hungarian and Italian aristocracy who would flock here to enjoy its clear blue waters, long beaches and sub-tropical greenery, Opatija is now a synonym for luxury and the perfect choice for anyone who wishes to have a pleasant, peaceful and relaxing holiday.

There are also plenty of events that take place in Opatija during the summer months such as concerts, exhibitions and various other artistic performances to ensure your holiday to Opatija is full of long-lasting memories.

Balkan Holidays is offering 7-night packages to Opatija from £648 including return flights from Gatwick, airport transfers and B&B accommodation at 5-star Hotel Milenij.
