Croatia is an ideal destination for seaside holidays, but not only, and a nation that reserves some wonderful surprises along stretches of still perfectly uncontaminated coastline, especially on the numerous islands of its archipelagos. In a fascinating blend of natural beauty and excellent services for tourism, such as modern campsites and holiday resorts strategically located across the territory, Croatia has all the promise of a truly great summer holiday. It is also conveniently positioned in the north of the Balkan Peninsula and northeast corner of the Adriatic Sea, opposite the Italian coast, and is therefore easily accessible to tourists from all central and eastern European countries.

Campsites and holiday parks in Croatia boast a long tradition, thanks largely to influxes of German and Italian vacationers already during the period of the former Yugoslavia, but it was on gaining independence in 1991 that the nation started to invest heavily in outdoor tourism. The results were remarkable, with Croatia able to modernize its accommodation facilities, without losing sight of the delicate balance between tourism and environmental impact, as well as of its long-standing vocation for naturist holidays.

Most popular in Croatia are seaside holidays, despite the fact that the territory stretches far inland to the north and east, crossing under Hungary to reach the border with Serbia. With nature parks, national parks, UNESCO sites and picture postcard villages, Croatia appeals particularly to tourists where nature meets the sea. From the north to south, from Istria to the Ragusina-Narentina region, the seaside offers a continuous succession of continental Adriatic coastline and islands united in verdant archipelagos of rare beauty. The sandy or rocky beaches, with crystal-clear waters and Mediterranean scrubland areas, offer tourists postcard panoramas that can be easily appreciated through outdoor tourism, staying at campsites and holiday parks that today offer everything to cater for satisfying holidays with family or friends.
