Summer makes you think of a warm place with a nice beach and blue water? If the answer is yes, Croatia is your destination. In the last few years it has started to be the favourite destination for Western Europeans, whoever it is still an unknown place with virgin beaches and islands to discover.

Croatia is also beginning to be the destination for restricted budgets, low-cost airlines fly to Split or Dubrovnik, two coastal cities where visitors can start their trip. It is mandatory to visit at least one of the islands (Brac, Hvar o Mljet).

From walking the streets in the OOOld City of Dubrovnik to doing any kind of adventure activity: diving, kayaking, sailing, rafting…Hiring a motorbike or a car is probably the best way to get around and if you visit Split you shouldn’t miss Diocletian’s Palace.

If this sounds like the kind of holiday you want to have, visit Hotelopia to book your hotel and start planning your trip.
