Croatia- one of the most beautiful countries Europe, located at the northern tip Balkan Peninsula. Croatia stands on the shores of the beautiful Adriatic Sea, and its numerous resorts have long attracted Russians on vacation. The number of tours to Croatia purchased by our compatriots is increasing from year to year, since this country has simply stunning nature, good sandy and pebble beaches, clean air filled with beneficial phytoncides, which are released by endless pine forests that cover the local rocks.

In Croatia, you will find not only a beach and wellness holiday on magnificent resorts, but also getting to know the history of the country and its well-preserved sights during exciting excursions. The advantage of holidaying at Croatian resorts with children is the short flight: from Russia you will fly to Croatia in just three hours. And also, there are quite reasonable prices for holidays and accommodation, there are many hotels of different star ratings and levels of service, so any tourist can find accommodation to suit their pocket and taste. Croatia has a well-developed infrastructure for tourists; if you wish, you can travel the length and breadth of the country.

The beach season in Croatia starts from the beginning of May and ends by mid-October, but the peak – the “high season” – is July and August, when the water of the Croatian Adriatic warms up to plus twenty-six degrees, and daytime temperatures range from twenty-seven to thirty degrees. All Croatian beaches are municipal, and therefore free.

Holidays at Croatian resorts in the four main coastal regions of the country are very popular among tourists: Istria; Northern Dalmatia; South Dalmatia; Central Dalmatia, as well as in the resorts of the islands of Croatia. Each region is magnificent, but has its own unique holiday features. Let's take a closer look at the popular resorts in these regions of Croatia.

– a place with a unique microclimate created by numerous coniferous forests and sea evaporation from the Adriatic Sea. Tourists with children love to go to these resorts in Croatia to improve their health and just have a pleasant rest. Istria is the northern region of the country, which is a green corner where there is no sultry summer and suffocating heat. That is why people come here for whom the heat is contraindicated for their health. Thanks to the healing climate, it is possible to cure many diseases or improve health in chronic diseases of the circulatory system and skin ailments.

Since Istria is located next to Italy, this has an impact on local life: very common Italian language, culture, cuisine. But there is something in this region of Croatia that brings a “fly in the ointment” to holidays here: there is no good beaches, in the sense in which we imagine them, because in almost all resorts it is either a concrete platform from which you enter the sea, or a descent into the water along a ladder thrown over the stones. Although in the vicinity of some Istrian resorts there are also wild sand and pebble beaches.

- an ancient resort in Croatia, located in the southwestern tip of Istria. Pula is a city with rich history, inextricably linking its foundation with the legend of the Greek Argonauts, who, sailing past these scenic spots in search of the “Golden Fleece” they founded the settlement “Polai”. Pula – perfect place for sightseeing tours, because it has a lot of interesting sights, beautiful architecture structures, rich folk traditions. Moreover, this Croatian resort is an amazing ecological corner. As for the beaches, there are many and very different, both in the city itself and in its environs. But the beaches of the Pula resort are located among the rocks in small bays. There they are rocky and pebble. There are beaches with concrete platforms. The urban resort area of Pula - “Punta Verudela” - is one of the popular tourist destinations. Another place visited by vacationers is Medulina, an area where numerous hotels in Pula are concentrated; there are stone and pebble beaches and beaches for nudists. The beaches of the Pula resort are well equipped, there are diving clubs, sports centers, and places for children to have fun.

is one of the largest resort towns in Croatia on the Adriatic Sea on the western coast of the Istrian peninsula. Holidays in Rovinj are considered elite. There is beautiful nature, many sports facilities, historical and architectural monuments. Since 1963, the city of Rovinj has become a cultural monument of Croatia. They always pass here cultural events, exhibitions, shows, sports competitions, including the Rovinj - Pesaro regatta held in May and the fair held in August, as well as yachting competitions held in September. The port of Rovinj traditionally takes part in the International Regatta. The beaches of the Rovinj resort are artificial, small-pebble, but after a few meters from the shore the pebbles turn into large natural stones. Rovinj is one of the most suitable resorts in the country for families with children. Children's pebble beaches are located among the rocks in small coves. The beaches of Rovinj have good infrastructure, but they are not famous for it, but for their amazing natural beauty and wonderful views of the old town and the beautiful nearby islands. Rovinj also has beaches for nudists.

– large Croatian tourist centre, located on the shores of the Poreč lagoon at the western tip of the Istrian peninsula. Porec – beautiful old City ok with many historical sights, medieval fortress towers, walls, ancient Roman houses, temples. The beaches in the resort of Porec are either concrete or made of large pebbles; in some places there are stone slopes leading to the sea. The City Beach beach is very popular among tourists, not far from the city center, but many vacationers go to the beaches: Blue Lagoon, Oliva, Zelena Laguna. And from the city embankment there are wonderful views of the sea surface and the picturesque Adriatic coast.

– is located in the northwestern tip of Istria. There are not many architectural and historical attractions here, but there are many sports facilities and good beaches, stretching for twenty kilometers: these are small pebble coves, beaches with concrete platforms, rocky parts of the coast. Along the Adriatic coast in the city of Umag there are numerous hotels, bungalows, and apartments. Almost every hotel has a sports center where tourists can go diving, surfing, windsurfing, cycling or play team games. Hotel beaches are much better equipped than public beaches. In the vicinity of the city of Umag there are several beaches for nudists.

This Croatian resort hosts the famous Croatia Open tennis tournament every year. By the way, many divers traditionally vacation in Umag, because this resort has the purest water. Very often, tourists who have purchased a vacation tour to Umag choose the resort for its proximity to Venice and Italian city Trieste. Thus, they manage to visit one more state in a day - Italy - to see it interesting places. The distance to Venice from the Croatian coast of Istria, namely from the resort of Umag, is fifty nautical miles, so a whole day is enough to visit this beautiful corner of Italy.

- one of the most beautiful towns in Croatia in the north-eastern tip of Istria. The resort is located in the Kvarner Bay in the Adriatic Sea. This is a very popular place. But not only relaxation, but treatment, the fact is that Opatija has a unique microclimate. The city is located in a bay right at the foot high mountain, which reliably shields it from the winds. The air temperature in Opatija is always several degrees higher than in other Croatian resorts. There are many famous hospitals in Croatia that help in curing heart, skin diseases, lung diseases, and rheumatism. Of course, as in other places in Croatia, the beaches of Opatija are the only weak point of the resort: they are rocky. The city embankment is one huge and long beach; entry into the water is from concrete platforms that turn into stairs leading to the sea. The lack of good beaches is compensated by the fact that almost all hotels, even small ones, have swimming pools, including indoor ones. Since the resort of Opatija has been a health resort for a couple of centuries, accordingly, even in those years, the nobility of the country preferred to come here for a health holiday and built luxurious villas and mansions for themselves. These buildings have survived to this day, mostly bought by local hotels, so any tourist can stay for several days in the palaces that once belonged to noble Austro-Hungarian and Italian families.

The resort of Nin is famous throughout the country for its magnificent beaches, the best in the region.
