14: The Balkans, Croatia

Welcome to Croatia!

 

Our second stop on our tour of the Balkans takes us to Croatia, a beautiful central European country with an archipelago of more than a thousand islands and islets. Sitting on the Adriatic Sea, Croatia borders with Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovenia and Montenegro, making it the coastal playground of the region.

 

More than 4 million people call Croatia home, and millions more flock here all year round -  it's one of the most popular tourist destinations of the former Yugoslavia. And we can see why...

 

Join us as we travel to Rijeka, Opatija, Rovinj and Pula, with highlights including:
