Meet this hidden European treasure! Croatia Review

Croatia is one of Europe’s rising tourist stars. This remarkable Adriatic country of 1244 islands, bear and wild boar inhabited forests and world-class vineyards is so much more than just a beach destination. Fly into Split and spend the bulk of your time in that area, including an island such as Hvar, Brac or Vis. I do think that Dubrovnik is worth going down to for a couple of days and you can easily get there from Split. If you are traveling for the first time, here are my tips:
Croatia for the first time
1. | Stay somewhere central
2. | Take a road trip
3. | Eat local
4. | Island hopping on your own isn’t that easy
5. | Visit Zagreb
6. | Shop at a local green market
7. | Plitvice aren’t the only national park
8. | Visit Istria
9. | Forget trains, use buses instead
10. | Croatia isn’t off the beaten path destination
11. | Taxis are expensive
12. | English is widely spoken
13. | Excellent tourist infrastructure
14. | Don’t be afraid to rent with locals
15. | It’s not cheap, but it doesn’t need to be expensive
16. | Wine here is awesome, and so is olive oil
17. | Croatian currency is Kuna
18. | Pack light
Happy Traveling!
