In the land of a thousand sunny islands and attractive historical towns you will never be bored. This is a country, where one always runs out of time for everything to do it. Although at first glance, it gives the feeling that mostly sunny beaches and water activities are struggling for the attention of travellers against cultural treasures and ancient architecture, Croatia with its interior offers much more.

The most …
• The largest and longest of the islands is Cres, Hvar is the sunniest, the most party is Pag, the most intact is Mljet, the most gourmet is Vis, the most Robinson-like is Palagruza, the most photographed is Brac.
• Istrian town of Hum is recorded as the smallest town in the world – it has only 23 inhabitants, in the Guinness Book of Records. In 1999 the biggest truffle in the world was found in Croatia.
• The oldest people’s community theatre in Europe was built in 1612 on the island Hvar.
• Stone from the island of Brač could be the most famous stone in the world while the White House was built of it.

What else to do?
• Cycle in its green heart among medieval towns and hill villages.
• Wear a diving suit and explore the underwater treasures around the Dalmatian islands.
• Sail between the Croatian islands. You might meet one of Hollywood acquaintances.
• See at least one of Zagreb’s numerous museums and galleries.

Tie, which is worn daily by more than 600 million men around the world, comes from Croatia. The legend began during the Thirty Years War from 1618 to 1648, when the Croatian rented soldiers who served in the French army, worn around the neck small knotted scarves. With this fashion addition they attracted the attention of Parisians, who immediately adopted it and named it after Croats – Cravat.
