With attractions ranging from sun-drenched beaches and cliffs around Dubrovnik to the dense forests around Plitvice, Croatia’s wonders and natural beauty never cease to amaze.

It was only after the devastating 1991-1995 ethnic war that Croatia achieved full independence for the first time in 800 years.
