When it comes to holiday destinations in Croatia, it is hard to beat Zadar with its long coastline, beautiful landscapes, and mild climate. The city of Zadar itself is also remarkable with its Roman origins, amazing museums, charming old town, interesting tourist attractions, and foodie scene in addition to the fact that it never really becomes totally overrun with tourists. Other towns and resorts in the region are also pretty and fascinating including the wine town of Benkovac, the stunning town of Pag that was designed by Renaissance genius Juraj Dalmatinac, and Nin with its amazing sandy beaches and perfect wind-surfing conditions - to name but a few.

Dubrovnik is a city that many of us have become familiar with, even if we haven’t ever had the chance to holiday in Dubrovnik. Of course, this is partially through the scenes filmed in the city for the blockbuster television show Game of Thrones but it is also because many of us have seen the impossibly picturesque images of the historic core shared by strangers, friends, and family all over social media. It really is an incredible and cinematically beautiful place and a definite must for photography enthusiasts. So, find your villa in Dubrovnik and come take your own snaps but also be sure just to make the time to put away the cameras and screens and to sit and appreciate the magic of this gorgeous corner of the world.

When one arrives at the pretty and historic town of Pazin, they will find a peaceful and unpretentious place. It is not, perhaps, the first choice for some when it comes to holiday destinations as it does not boast endless attractions and is not the most glamorous place in the world. However, those looking for an authentic Istrian experience, people who enjoy being a little off the beaten path, those who want to avoid overly touristy destinations, and anyone looking for a perfect base from which to explore the wider region will find that a villa in Pazin is an ideal option for a perfect getaway in Istria.

The administrative capital and known as the, “heart of Istria,” Pazin is visually captivating and has been capturing the hearts and imaginations of those who visit or hear of the place for some time. In fact, Pazin is a great example of the so-called, "Green Istria", the area inland, away from the famous coast, where the region is lush and dramatic and ripe for exploration and adventure. This part of Istria is known for craggy mountains, forests, valleys, rivers, and caves. It is a place to enjoy all sorts of outdoor pursuits from zip-lining to hiking, mountain-biking to exploring caves.
