- The Mediterranean as it used to be... ...before the developers came in and wrecked everything.You have walled cities instead of a wall of condos, local markets instead of souvenir shops, fresh locally caught fish instead of fast food. A Long Splendid Coast A solid 1778km (1102mi) of Adriatic coast winds around innumerable bays, inlets and coves. Add in the 1185 islands and you're talking a whopping 6000km (3720mi) of seafront.If you can't find the beach of your dreams here, it probably doesn't exist. Good value for money While costs have risen considerably over the last five years, Croatia still compares favorably with other EU countries on the Mediterranean, especially for meals and private accommodation. Unspoiled nature Clean air, clean water and plenty of meadows, forested mountains, lakes and rivers to explore are the legacy of a relatively under-industrialised country. Easygoing people "Nema problema" or "no problem" is the prevailing spirit which is part of the reason naturism took off here. Behave yourself and no one will pester you with nit-picking rules. An exciting blend of cultures The coast was long part of Italy while the interior was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. It's convoluted history has produced a taste for both pizza and pastries, classy architecture and Latin exuberance. And when was the last time you saw people dancing with swords ? It's safe Street crime is rare, assaults on foreigners nearly non-existant and the country untangled itself from Balkan warring in 1995.

- Investments Government revised 2009 budget Consumer spending decreasing Cost of goods increasing
- Competition Tuscany Provence Cote d’Azur Amalfi coast Not Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Monte Negro “ Croatia has to decide whether it wants a strong tourism industry supported by global management, technological and marketing standards, or if it wants to go on utilizing its natural resources in a cheap way.”
- Istria is made of the Ucka mountain range, rivers, deep valleys, rolling hills, lush wheat fields, vineyards and olive groves on hillsides all on the largest peninsula in the Adriatic Sea. The nearby islands are covered with pine woods and beaches. The inhabitants of the area understand the natural value of the area and do well at preserving it. The region claims to be an ecological and healthy tourist destination. Green Istria is the right place for all those who have enough of city life, crowds, who wish to return to nature, to its peacefulness and tranquility. The inland Istria is showing a growing number of agro tourism points (today reaching the number of around 200). The accommodation units are constructed in typically Istrian tradition, usually called Istrian taverns, mostly isolated. Along with the traditionally gastronomic, enological and accommodation offer, an authentic rural atmosphere, a number of recreation facilities are offered too and can be found only in the rural regions.Thanks to its favorable climate, Istria is the right place for rearing and raising game and offers the possibility of hunting tourism, which includes the organization of hunts, usually of feathered game (pheasants, quails), small game (hares), and bigger game (boars and bucks).
