Six areas in Croatia are under protection of UNESCO's World Heritage Site. The entire old city of Trogir is included under this protection. Zagreb is the capital and an arts and cultural center with numerous museums and galleries, which houses world-renowed exhibits and festivals.

Croatia is an island nation with over thousand islands. Every one of them is different from the other. If you have seen one island - you'll still be missing another 1,184 small islands and rocks along the 1,777 km long Adriatc coastline. Only 47 of the islands are not inhabited - each island has something of its own and their own history and destiny.
The first visit to the Adriatic and islands is a journey into the unknown, but each subsequent trip to this country is a return into the beauties of Croatia and yet so different but always equally fascinating.
