With its medieval buildings, narrow streets and authentic town centre, Rovinj is also known as the 'romantic city'. So it's extra romantic here together with your partner! 

You should definitely visit the beautiful islands near the Dalmatian coast during your holiday in Croatia. The region is located a little further south, but you won't regret it if you drive a bit further. And the breathtaking views make the drive a lot more fun!

If you drive to the Dalmatia region, you will soon discover the beautiful nature of this region. With its beautiful beaches, this is an ideal destination for a water sports or beach holiday.

The island of Korčula is one of the largest Croatian islands, and is located just a little further to the south of Dalmatia. This island is known for its traditions and wine and here you can fully enjoy the old villages, vast beaches and olive groves. Taste the homemade wines during one of the many wine tours, or drink a delicious wine during dinner.Culture lovers will love Dubrovnik. This Croatian city is a beautiful combination of culture, art, history and architecture. The important port city of Split is also a cultural highlight and a real must see in Dalmatia. The buildings and monuments that you will find here, date back to the time of the Romans and each leave an impressive image.
