Map of Croatia

As a tourist country it is known for its natural beauties and well-indented coast with a total of 1,185 islands, isles and cliffs. It has 2,600 sunny hours per year, which makes it one of the sunniest countries in Europe. Due to its geographic location between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, as well as in the delta of the Una, Kupa, Sava, Drava and Danube River there is great climatic variability, and therefore different flora and fauna.

Croatia - Mediterranean as it once was

The seaside area, i.e. the coastal stretch by the Adriatic embraces the islands, the coast and the lower hinterland as well as two kinds of climate: the Mediterranean (in the coastal area and on the islands) and the continental. The indented coast is 1,777 kilometers long, and the coastline along with 1,185 islands and isles amounts to 4,012 kilometers. The climate is characterized by hot summers, many sunny days, and mild and rainy winters. For instance the island of Hvar (with an average temperature of 8.7 Co in January) has 2,718 hours of sunshine a year, Dubrovnik has 2,584. As a comparison, Nice has 2,706 sunny hours. The main natural peculiarity is the blue sea, the coastal karts, and the Mediterranean vegetation.

Nautical tourism - The Adriatic Sea is an extraordinarily interesting and attractive resource of the Croatian nautical possibilities. It got its name from an ancient port of the same name.
