Croatia has bounced back from a troubled recent history and it’s now a haven for anyone craving sun and sea. The medieval, walled old town of Dubrovnik is straight out of a fantasy novel, and it’s not alone in its preservation of the past. Towns small and large line the coast and from a distance, many of them could easily be confused with locales from the middle ages while a city like Split goes back even further and sits atop Roman ruins.

The endless coastline meets with sparkling water that houses an island hoppers paradise. The interior is home to travel treasures as well. Cosmopolitan Zagrab is surprising with its diverse influences and then there’s the Plitvice Lakes. They’re stunning enough to get their own gallery. If you can’t get enough Croatia, check out my photos of the Plitvice Lakes.

Oh to be strolling by the Adriatic with an ice cream in hand and the Croatian sun warming me…
