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.
