We live in Split and this website is designed as a comprehensive guide to Croatia-- Croatia maps, Croatia tours, Croatian food, Croatian islands, Croatian national parks, Split, Dubrovnik and Zagreb as well as Croatian villages.

For thousands of years Croatia has lured royalty and ragamuffins alike to its spectacular 5,800 mile Adriatic coastline, amazing natural beauty, subtle Mediterranean ambience and wonderful food and wine.

It´s amazing that Croatia is still so undiscovered! Whether you come through Zagreb, a wonderful walking city with just over a million people, or arrive by sea, Croatia offers a never-ending array of terrific sightseeing. Running like a spine down the coastline, the Dinaric Mountains define Croatia in spirit as well as geography. On one side the glorious sea, with more energy, ferries, people--on the other, olive oil groves, vineyards, ancient hilltop settlements, fortresses and picturesque villages. And whitewater rafting and other adventures!

In the north, Croatia begins with the Istrian peninsula, fast becoming known as the new Tuscany. You can enjoy everything from truffle hunting to sea kayaking here. And the offshore islands are wondrous. Moving south, the seaside towns that dot the coast on your way down to Split are beautiful. It´s hard to decide which one is more lovely. We have chosen Split. In summer, its vest-pocket airport has daily direct cheap flights to all major European capitals. The harbor is humming with ferries to take you the islands. Add the 1700 year old Diocletian´s Palace, wonderful openair green and fish markets, the Split Summer Festival, Marjan, Batvice beach-of course we love living here!
