While Croatia is famous as a sun holiday destination and for lovely days by the sea, typical sandy beaches of the variety that many imagine when thinking of a sunny vacation are actually rather rare throughout the country. Most beaches in Croatia are beautiful in their own ways but have pebbly shores or strands that are a mixture of sand and stones. For the feeling of powdery white sand between your toes, one of the most reliable destinations in Croatia is the island of Susak. Susak, a charming and peaceful island where traditions live on and a popular day-trip destination by boat for those who have found villas in Primorje-gorski Kotar, boasts several different sandy beaches to choose from. So, if you are planning a vacation in Croatia and you're looking for the perfect sandy beach of your dreams, plan an excursion to Susak.

While there are plenty of excellent resort towns, amazing beaches, stunning views, and fascinating attractions located along Croatia's lauded and beloved coastline, if you move inland, you will also find a beautiful and varied landscape that is full of some incredible gems and wonderful surprises. For example, if you have found one of our stunning villas in Karlovac, or one of our lovely vacation rentals in Primorje-gorski Kotar, or a great holiday rental in Lika-senj and you're looking to start hitting the road, day-trip, and discover some of Croatia's most unique attractions, then we recommend heading out early one day to take in the fascinating fairytale castle of Veliki Tabor.
One of the most well-known and best-developed tourist destinations in Croatia is the region of Istria. While this means that some areas have become populated by large, built-up developments and busy resort towns that can be flooded with crowds of tourists on package deals during the high season, you will still find that there is plenty of authenticity and untouched beauty to enjoy in the region. From medieval hilltop towns to hidden beaches along the distinctively rocky Istrian coast, from Roman ruins to lush landscapes dotted by orchards and vineyards, the charming, varied, and verdant landscape of Istria has lots to offer the discerning tourist looking for something beyond more typically touristy destinations and pursuits. Just browse our villas in Istria and you can come and discover the region's endless surprises and charms for yourself.
