We are sure that you know about Croatia`s interior and that you may never have visited this part of the country, but you would love to do it because you heard that you can pamper all your senses there, rest your body and soul, eat and drink well, and spend time with the cordial and hospitable local people. And really, you heard right!
So, start exploring this hidden pearl and get to know a different side of Croatia.
Because Croatia is not only blue…
If you travel only a few dozen kilometers inland from the coast, you will come across a completely different Croatia. You will probably go through different climatic conditions and vegetation types along this trip, and you will notice big differences in population and architecture of villages and towns. All of this is conditioned first and foremost by the geographical position of the country and then by the history, culture and customs of the population living in this region.
Traveling from west to the east of Croatia you will:
- pass through the wine-growing inland of Istria;
- breathe in the fresh mountain air of Gorski Kotar;
- cross the many rivers of the Karlovac area;
- get to know the capital of Croatia, Zagreb;
