Croatia’s travel character changes sharply from the Adriatic coast to the continental interior. Understanding the regions helps travelers build a practical itinerary.
Istria
The northwestern peninsula is known for historic hill towns, coastal cities, food, wine and Mediterranean landscapes.
Kvarner
The northern Adriatic region includes Rijeka, Opatija and islands such as Krk, Cres and Lošinj.
Dalmatia
Dalmatia stretches along much of the central and southern Adriatic and includes Split, Zadar, Šibenik, Dubrovnik and many islands.
Continental Croatia
Inland Croatia includes Zagreb and regions with castles, vineyards, forests, spas and traditional towns.
