Moving back from the coast, the undulating hills in inland Istria are best explored in spring or autumn. Expect romantic, medieval, fortified hill towns such as Motovun and Grožnjan, quality local wines and a sophisticated, Italian-style cuisine noted for black and white truffles.In contrast, the country's capital, Zagreb, is truly Central European. Everything from the architecture to the hearty culinary offer reflects the region's centuries-old ties with Austro-Hungary. Zagreb also makes a good base for visiting the historic castles and vineyards of Zagorje.

Top Things to Do

Zagreb is the perfect town if you want to wander around the museums and learn about the history of Croatia. There are a lot of galleries in Croatia to enjoy, along with some brilliant Archaeological Monuments. Dubrovnik's summer festival occurs between mid July until late August and features theatre, jazz and calssical music performances in the evenings. Golden Cape is Croatia's most photographed beach and is also one of Croatia's top windsurfing destinations. The Risnjak National Park, located in the mountains of Gorski Kotar and the Velebit Massif of Northern Dalmatia's Paklenica National Park are the best spots to hike or climb. Join the jet set on the increasingly exclusive island of Hvar, renowned for its rugged coastline, excellent wines and lavender fields. Drink coffee or sip cocktails in Hvar Town, a Venetian settlement, built around a picturesque harbour presided over by a hilltop fortress. Divig in the ethereal Blue Grotto is brilliant, with shipwrecks to explore and marine life to see. A top cycling spot is in Mljet National Park, located on the green and unspoiled island of the same name. The park boasts dense forests, two interconnected saltwater lakes and, in the centre of the larger lake, the exquisite St Mary's Island and Benedictine Monastery.
