Istria
Blue sea, white stone and green inland are the colors of Istria, the largest Croatian peninsula. The blue of its coast is contrasted with its green continental part and ancient towns, which, located somewhere halfway between dream and reality, erase the thin line separating reality from the unreal. And turn into only your story…
A heart-shaped peninsula, immersed deep in the clear and blue waters of the Adriatic, is a hidden garden of beauty that opens the door to the sunny and warm Mediterranean Sea. Open them without hesitation – and your vacation will become a reality again. Multicultural and hospitable, this is a country where many differences are successfully combined in a small space. With its crystal clear sea, clean coastline and ports, merry fishing boats and seething stone streets, this country shows the true charm of the Mediterranean Sea. And Istria, with its picturesque medieval towns, located on hilly terrain, breathes the peace and meekness of the continent, the landscape of which irresistibly resembles the most beautiful regions of Tuscany and Provence.
Kvarner
According to nexticle, the landscapes of the Adriatic coast here in close proximity border on the forested and hilly landscapes of Gorski Kotar, the Mediterranean climate and lifestyle with a contrasting and harsh mountain climate, and the world of a secular tourist center with a 150-year tradition is very different from the measured rhythm of life on the islands. Lovers of the splendor of secular resorts will also find their corner in Kvarner, namely in beautiful Opatija, whose tourist tradition, luxurious parks and villas, and a 12 km long esplanade along the seashore, attract guests at any time of the year.
Imagine the perfect holiday when you set sail from the coast to the sunny islands, then sail back in search of peace on the mountain tops. You dream of a sunny riviera, which, as soon as you want, you can reach in 10 minutes, and then replace it with the ascetic calmness and freshness of mountain peaks, where eagles, wolves and bears will keep you company, and your lungs will be filled with the clean air of fragrant forests. Discover Kvarner and Gorski Kotar – three different regions located at a short distance from each other.
