Croatia, until relatively recently, was probably most regarded by the international travel community at large as a summer holiday destination with a dreamy coastline. Certainly, this is true: Croatia is, understandably, very famous and perhaps best-known for its lovely beaches and as an ideal spot for sun holidays. However, there is so much more to it as a vacation destination and, increasingly, it seems that these nuances are becoming common knowledge. So, if you have been considering a vacation rental in Croatia then these are some of the special traits and alluring attractions that you can expect to encounter. 

Croatia, while she has much more to offer in addition, has long been most famous among tourists for her incredible coastline and seaside resorts. We always suggest heading inland too, to explore the green heart of the country, the amazing vineyards, the pretty towns, the lush landscapes, but there is no denying that the coastal areas are immensely charming. This has only been further highlighted this year by news that the seawater in Croatia has been officially declared the cleanest in Europe. So, if you are a serious water baby and want to spend a vacation swimming, sailing, surfing, kayaking, scuba-diving, or just generally hanging out by and in the sea then this news only underscores a villa in Croatia as a perfect choice!

Zadar, the lovely coastal city, is one of Croatia’s prime tourist destinations and for good reason. With the rich blue of the Adriatic reflecting the green and not overly built-up coastline of this seaside resort, a historic centre made up of medieval churches and ancient Roman ruins, amazing museums and unique tourist attractions - it is a place rarely totally overrun by tourists but that always has lots to offer a visitor. Of course, while there are so many interesting things to discover in Zadar, her proximity to the sea is one of her biggest selling points by far. In fact, a villa in Zadar is an ideal option for those who want fascinating things see and do but also want to have easy access to some excellent city beaches. Among Zadar’s beaches, the most popular is the delightful Kolovare Beach.
