NATIONAL PARKS

Croatia has eight national parks. Each is remarkably different. Some are islands, like lush Brijuni, richly-forested Mljet and the moonscaped Kornati and others are tucked into the hills and mountains with spectacular waterfalls and lakes like Plitvice. All are national treasures and well-staffed with knowledgeable guides. So get your map and plan to visit a bunch of your favorites—none are remote, so you can hang out on the beach vacation, take off to a national park and explore some ancient remains without having to drive all over creation.
