The best option for beach lovers would be the Solta Island – the perfect choice for an excellent day trip. Whilst there’s not a lot to do, you can relax and explore the quaint little villages or chill on one of the rocky beaches. If you want to go for a swim then the pretty Maslinica cove on the west coast is the answer. You can find lots of cozy cafes and restaurants in Stomorska (and the island’s only ATM).

If you are looking for a place to relax, then Istarske Toplice – the best Spa Resort in Croatia. Natural hot springs can be found throughout the countryside of Croatia. One of the most popular resorts taking advantage of the hot springs is the Istarske Toplice. The spa offers mineral rich waters as well as mud therapy and plenty other beauty treatments options. Recent tests also discovered it’s one of the purest springs in Croatia with a purity level remaining unchanged since 1858! Now that is something divine, right?!

Croatia is full of hidden gems and one of those, Plitvice National Park, is probably the most rewarding. There are several national parks scattered throughout the country but this park stands out for its unique beauty. Oldest in the entire Southeast Europe yet the park manages to attract hordes of tourists every year. A treat for wildlife lovers – as it houses everything from birds, boars and even bears.

There are many excellent beaches spread across Croatia’s Adriatic Islands but Zlatni rât beach, Bol is the perfect postcard beach. It is located 2km west of Bol harbor, on the southern coast of the Island of Brac. One of the more unusual Croatia Beaches it’s a beautiful white pebble beach which sticks out into the sea hence why it’s also called The Golden Horn Beach. With the water’s strong current and powerful wind it’s also a great place to go windsurfing.

If you believe that this little country has no options for your shopping binges, then you are mistaken. Steer your cheap car hire Croatia through the streets of the Stradum; Dubrovnik’s main promenade is located in the heart of the city. Lined with shops and cafes this is the place for a spot of retail therapy in gorgeous, historic surroundings. Shop in the antique and attractive stores and then relax with a coffee at one of the many chic eateries.
