Holiday Croatia style

25 June 2009

A vacation in Croatia is an attractive option for a number of reasons, according to one of the authors of the Lonely Planet Croatia travel guide books.

Vesna Maric explained that the country has "a lot of tradition", thanks to its mix of Mediterranean and Slavic cultures and lack of big resorts often found in other holiday destinations on the Med.

Other benefits from a Croatia travel trip, she said, include the fact it is still "relatively unexplored" - although it is getting increasingly popular.

"The sea is fantastic, it is very family friendly. The peak season is for a limited time and for most of the year it is lovely and not so crowded, [plus] it is comparatively cheap compared to any western destination," Ms Maric commented.

Croatia's food and wine production - as well as its selection of natural parks, lakes and mountains - were also commended.

On the subject of wine, people on an Istria vacation last weekend would have been able to get involved in the Festival of East Istrian Wine, which showcased the local drink to visitors.
