Planning a trip and wondering which are the best hotels in Croatia?
After a long period of political turmoil and isolation, Croatia has started to garner massive popularity which is no surprise considering the miles of sunny beaches, dramatic nature, and ancient monuments that dot the Dalmatian coast.
The country has amazing natural beauty, interesting history, and a relaxed lifestyle where excellent food and wine are the norms, but what separates Croatia from other great coastal holiday destinations is its affordability.
When planning your Croatia Itinerary, it’s important to choose the best area and accommodation in Croatia for your budget and needs.
