If you’re still not convinced after our introduction, please keep reading s we’re about to show you the four places in Croatia that are heaven on earth. Trust us, this is not an exaggeration.
1. Dubrovnik
A great place to start. You’ve heard about Dubrovnik. A former Republic of its own is one of the most amazing cities in the world. Croatia is proud of this pearl, and if it wasn’t on the map before, one popular HBO series put it right there. We’re talking about Game of Thrones, as this city of the Adriatic sea served as the King’s Landing for the entirety of the series.
This is enough proof that it is a place of imagination and fairy tales. The unparalleled architecture will leave anyone breathless without a fault. The sea and the food are just bonuses. If you can afford it, be sure to rent a holiday villa in this place and enjoy it to the fullest for a few days. Trusts us, not much can be seen in a day or two.
2. Gorski Kotar
When we talk about Croatia many people will point out its amazing coastline. But the central part of the country also has plenty to offer, especially if you’re a fan of the mountains, forests, and hiking.

This area offers some of the best mountain villas in Croatia and even further. This region is not yet on the tourist map of the world, but you’d be wise to visit before it’s overrun by tourists. With the nature that Risnjak National Park offers and the wildlife you’ve seen in movies, it’s only a matter of the day.
