Travel to Croatia

Why Travel to Croatia when you are in Slovenia?

Read here why we recommend a travel to Croatia as a fantastic side trip when visiting Slovenia. Although it is just a short distance away, the contrast between the two places is dramatic, making for a well-rounded overall vacation.

Whereas Slovenia is a country of mountains and forests, Croatia is famous for its rocky coastline and seashore.

Croatia is marketed as "The Mediterranean As It Once Was", drawing attention to the fact that it has not suffered from the overdevelopment that many other Mediterranean coastal towns have experienced. A Travel to Croatia is like stepping back in time.

How to Travel to Croatia from Slovenia

Getting to Croatia from Slovenia is quite easy and travelers wishing to do so can choose from a number of options.

The drive from Ljubljana to Zagreb is only 140 km and travelers have their choice of taking the main road or the more scenic coastal road.

Traveling by train or bus from Ljubljana or Kranj in Slovenia takes just a little over two hours and there are a few direct train lines that make the trip daily.

Travelers in a hurry can get there by plane, while those who prefer a more leisurely approach can make the journey by boat and enjoy the coastal scenery.

5 Reasons to Visit Croatia:

1. Islands

Croatia is made up of more than 1000 islands, some of them bustling and popular with many tourist attractions and others more secluded, and untouched, offering something to suit everyone's tastes and numerous breathtaking views.

Many of the islands are well connected by ferries making travel between them very convenient.

2. Beaches

With over 2,000 miles of seashore from the Adriatic coast to the islands, there is no shortage of beaches in Croatia. Most of them are pebble beaches that boast pristine waters that are very clean and safe.

Every type of beach can be found here including family beaches, party beaches, diving beaches, nudist beaches, and secluded beaches.

3. Sailing

There are plenty of charming sites in Croatia that can only be reached by boat due to its rocky coastline dotted with coves.

Boating is the best way to get around the various islands and explore virgin beaches. Sailing is a popular activity among tourists, which means there are a number of companies offering affordable boat and yacht charters in Croatia.

4. Diving

The water off the coast of Croatia is particularly clean and clear which makes it the perfect site for diving. Scuba adventures are offered by operators throughout the country including diving lessons and guided underwater tours.

5. History

Croatia has a long and interesting history and there is much evidence of the long tradition of foreign influence throughout the country, making it truly multicultural.

Dubrovnik in particular has a number of offerings for history buffs including the stunning Onofrio Fountain, the Renaissance-Era Rector's Palace, and the baroque cathedral.

Bottom Line:

Croatia is a place unlike any other in the world. It is also very tourist friendly with efficient public transportation and plenty of English speakers.

With Croatia being so close to Slovenia and so easily accessible from there, there is really no reason not to incorporate a stint in Croatia into any Slovenia vacation.
