Calm place to relax in Croatia. Plitvice Lakes are the pride of Croatia. Sabunike beach near Nin and Zaton near Zadar

Going to Croatia, we actually knew little about this country. Facts from Wikipedia, numerous texts in the spirit of “charming streets”, “clear sea”, “delicious seafood”, delights, descriptions of excursions. I wanted a clear and reliable comparison of cities among themselves. Why go to Istria and not to Dalmatia? Why Makarska is so much better than Krk that the first city is offered more tours? How many days to spend in Dubrovnik and how many in Rijeka?

Therefore, we decided to go on an exciting road trip and see everything. Largest cities coast, the island of Krk (connected to the mainland by a bridge and located some 50 kilometers from Opatija), Zagreb and Krka.

• personally visited every city we write about,
• tried to visit different beaches everywhere,
• they were rigidly stupid, trusting the guidebook, and ended up in two or three towns that were “not ours at all”, and left the next day.

Let's share all of this.

Prelude: about us

For starters, a lyrical digression. Have you ever had to come to a place praised by someone and think: “God, what did they find here?”.

Therefore, a little about us.

• traveled by car together: me and my beautiful beloved,
• we are about 30 years old,
• we are freelance internet entrepreneurs, one of those who are always away from work, but always with a laptop,
• to Croatia our best sea ​​vacation was in Greece. If you had a good time on the islands of Kos and Corfu, we are on the same wavelength. Croatia "comes" to those who like Italy.

And a couple of years ago we were disappointed in the hotel rest. Staying in good "fives", practically did not use any of their advantages.

A lazy all-inclusive is not for us: we endure a maximum of 3-5 hours on the beach, and the thirst for activity begins.

Hotel meals have always been money thrown to the wind: they overslept breakfast, skipped lunch on excursions, dined at various local establishments, each time in a new one.

A chic infinity pool in the "five" in Corfu was tested once - for a selfie. In other hotels, sometimes they did not even find a pool for 10 days of rest. How, well, how can you exchange this gorgeous, clear, clean water for something chlorinated-perchlorinated?!

Food: we eat healthy, so shrimp-fish steaks-squid-octopus-greens-vegetables are our everything! For breakfast - be sure to buckwheat!

The beach of the town of Vrbnik on the island of Krk is loved and recommended by the locals.

Delicious seafood - everywhere, but oysters and fish were especially good at the Lim Fjord restaurant on the coast of the Lim Fjord, between Rovinj and Poreč, and at the Frankopan restaurant in the city of Krk.

Lim Fjord: worth a trip here for beautiful nature and delicious seafood.

Beautiful Old Town (in order of priority): Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar, Sibenik, Rovinj. There are no ugly or uninteresting towns on the Adriatic coast, but if you need to see the very best, go here.

Most beautiful cities Croatia - in Dalmatia. In the photo - the Split embankment.

And the Old Town, and good beaches, and clear sea, and delicious seafood: Dubrovnik.

Dubrovnik is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

To have the beach and the Old Town nearby: all except Pula and Rijeka. There is a beach near the Old Town, but not very large and comfortable: Rovinj, Trogir, Dubrovnik. There is a city beach, but it is crowded with people: Split. The water is like this (it stagnates a little with greenery): Sibenik.

The most freaky beach in the city center is in Zadar. There is a beach, a promenade, an old town, a lot of water activities, and two unique marvels of technology: a sea organ and a “salutation of the sun” installation.

The sea and the active rhythm of life in a big city: Dubrovnik, Split, Rijeka (but we do not recommend the latter for a seaside holiday).

Calm sea rest, silence: Umag (Istria), Volosko (near Opatija, Kvarner Bay), nearby - Crikvenica, Vodice (near Sibenik), Vrbnik (Krk). It is quiet here and at the same time within easy reach of larger cities.

A special place in the suburbs of Pula - Premantura, park and Kamenjak beach

Hotel lazy rest: Porec, Dubrovnik. , but not every city has five-star ones. There are strong fours in Poreč. Dubrovnik has many good luxury hotels and chain brands. But in general, to be honest, Croatia is not a country for a lazy all-inclusive holiday and there are very few hotels operating on this system.

For more interesting things to see: cities with good opportunities for beach holiday close to the most interesting places in the region: in Istria - Rovinj, in the area of ​​the Kvarner Bay - Opatija, in Dalmatia - Split.

Opatija is one of the strategic points on the map of the Croatian coast. From here it is convenient to get to the largest cities of the region and the country.

Strategically correct route to keep being surprised in every new city: from Umag to Dubrovnik. So you get the maximum of pleasure and impressions "on the rise", with a maximum in Dubrovnik.

A strategically correct route to actively see the sights and in the finale to lay a seal on the beach: from Dubrovnik to Umag.

. If you like it to be hotter and the sea warmer, go to Dalmatia. The southernmost cities are Dubrovnik, Split. If you need to improve your health, but grab as little sun as possible, go to Istria: here the temperature of both air and water is 5 degrees lower than in Dubrovnik and Split. At the same time, the most unique beach areas located in coniferous parks. The dense shade from the pine trees that reach the water allows you to relax and not burn out, even while on the beach in the very sun. Therefore, there are many families with small children and women "in interesting position". Locals sometimes complain that the weather in Istria is unstable, there are cold currents, but we rested here in June, when the sea temperature was 25 degrees and the air temperature was 30. And it was very comfortable!

Cities, resorts and regions of Croatia on the map and alphabetically

to Croatia for long-awaited vacation Thousands of tourists come to the sea every summer and are very pleased with the local cities and resorts. In the first place, Croatian guests get acquainted with the history and the unique sights of the country that have come down to us, and at the resorts they have a serene rest, splashing in the Adriatic Sea. Wherever you stay, in Croatia you can always count on a warm and generous welcome. Today, one of the most popular cities and resorts in Croatia in terms of tourism are Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Zadar, Sibenik, Opatija, Tucepi, as well as Baska Voda, Biograd and Brela. In each of them, you can choose a suitable hotel or rent a house closer to the gentle sea.

Croatian cities and resorts have everything the necessary conditions for both beach and sightseeing recreation. So, having plenty of swimming in the sea, you can embark on a short voyage by renting snow-white boats or yachts. In the cities and resorts of Croatia, you will never be left hungry, as cute and inexpensive restaurants are open at almost every step. By the way, tourists are always fed tasty and very satisfying!

Separately, it is worth mentioning the sights of cities and resorts in Croatia. In each of them, without exaggeration, there are many architectural monuments and simply beautiful places, so one trip to see all the sights will not be enough. Tourists who once visited Croatia admit that they are not averse to returning here again. I must say, many come back more than once. To inspect more places, some tourists choose to travel by car (it can be easily rented) and drive around the cities and resorts of Croatia until the end of their vacation. For those who do not want everything at once, you can choose a quiet hotel with a sea view and spend a long-awaited vacation in such an environment. It is impossible not to fall in love with the cities and resorts of Croatia, especially with its National parks and reserves. Everything from clean air, beautiful forests, crystal clear waterfalls and the sea is so mesmerizing that you want to stay here forever.

All beach recreation areas in the country can be divided into three types:

1. Sandy.
2. Pebble.
3. Platform beaches.

The fluffy beaches of Croatia are concentrated mainly in and around Dubrovnik, on the islands of Krk, Lopud, Hvar, Pag, Dugi, Vis, Mljet, Korcula and Rab, as well as on the Omis Riviera. In this regard, it is difficult to say that all the beaches of the country are soft and sandy, however, if you know where to go, you will definitely find a cozy and suitable place for you.
Pebble beaches are concentrated in the region of Central and South Dalmatia.

The coastline here is surrounded by a pine forest, which emits not only a wonderful, soothing aroma, but also has a beneficial effect on health. The pebbles on the beaches are predominantly white, soft, beautiful in appearance and pleasant to the touch. Do you want nature to give you a massage, and in the "unlimited" format and for free? Choose a pebble beach. The best among those are the beaches of the Makarska Riviera, namely:

Makarska;
Undermountain;
Baska Water;
Tuchel;
Brela.

The most common format for Croatian beaches is the platform. Platform beaches are everywhere. This format is inherent in both the public coastline and private beaches organized near recreation centers and hotels. The platform is a concrete base leading in steps to the edge of the sea. They rest on the platform, for example, as on the terrace by the pool. It is clean and beautiful, there are cozy sun loungers, high-quality, securely mounted umbrellas, as well as other beach devices. Platform Beach - the best option for vacationers who do not like to find sand in their bag or stones in their shoes, real children of megacities who appreciate comfort, built on the basis of cutting-edge technologies. So, if for the first time it will be unusual for you to relax on this kind of beach, then, perhaps, from the second time, you will no longer be able to imagine how it could be otherwise.
In Croatia, virtually all beaches are free, most of them are municipal, but there are also private ones, which are organized by the owners of private villas or boarding houses. As you understand, building a platform beach in Croatia is not a problem, especially if you care about the good name of your recreation center and the comfort of travelers who come to soak up the sea. But for the use of beach accessories (umbrellas, sun loungers) you can be charged, but quite moderately.

The best beaches in Croatia

Of course, it is difficult to say that this or that beach is the best in the country, since the tastes and opinions of vacationers tend to vary, but, nevertheless, we will try to navigate based on the views of the vast majority of tourists. So, among the flagships of Croatian beaches are the following.

Zlatni Rat is a kind of "visiting card" of the whole country, because millions of tourists flock to Croatia to see this wonderful place and make sure that miracles exist. There is a transforming beach on the island of Brac. The peculiarity of this place is that the beach changes its shape all the time. How is this possible? It's simple: part of the beach in the form of a "tongue" is deepened into the sea by 600 meters, so the sand moves all the time under the influence of wind and water, thereby changing the shape of the beach. Can you imagine, you come in the morning, looking for a place where you rested yesterday, and it is already under water, and the beach itself has turned from a rectangle into a rhombus or a snake? How do you like this perspective? Of course, now you want to see this maritime miracle! The same desire is experienced by many tourists seeking to Branch Island. In addition to its exclusivity, Zlatni Rat is also famous for being the owner of the so-called Blue Flag, which is a testament to purity.

Its peak is the highest point of the Adriatic, reaching a height of 778 meters.

This title of Punta Rata was awarded by Forbes, in addition, the Brela beach ranks sixth in the top ten the best beaches the globe. Punta Rata covered with small, snow-white, beautiful pebbles, the territory is surrounded by colorful pine trees. Sometimes it seems that, once in this place, you find yourself in a fairy tale, it is so beautiful and interesting here. To begin with, soak up the sun, then you can switch to entertainment - there are catamarans, motorcycles, slides and other water attractions. Then you can go to the massage room, located right on the beach. Above the beach itself there is a promenade, where in the evenings tourists gracefully walk, entering local restaurants and pizzerias and pampering yourself with delicious Croatian cuisine. By the way, if you are traveling by car, you can leave your "iron horse" right by the beach - on paid parking. There are many hotels nearby, as well as private villas, so if you like Punta Rata, stay for the whole holiday.

The softest and fluffiest beach in Croatia Banje is located in the legendary Dubrovnik - the country's most popular resort.

Croatia- one of the most beautiful countries Europe, located at the northern tip Balkan Peninsula. Croatia stands on the shores of the beautiful Adriatic Sea, and its numerous resorts have long attracted Russians to rest. The number of tours to Croatia purchased by our compatriots is increasing from year to year, as this country has simply amazing nature, good sandy and pebble beaches, clean air, filled with useful phytoncides, which are released by endless pine forests, which are overgrown with local rocks.

In Croatia, not only beach and wellness vacation on great resorts, but also acquaintance with the history of the country and its well-preserved sights during exciting excursions. The advantage of relaxing in Croatian resorts with children is a short flight: from Russia you will fly to Croatia in just three hours. And yet, there are quite reasonable prices for recreation, accommodation, many hotels of different stars and levels of service, so any tourist can find accommodation according to their pocket and taste. In Croatia, the infrastructure for tourists is well developed; if desired, the whole country can be traveled up and down.

beach season in Croatia it starts from the beginning of May and ends by mid-October, but the peak - the "high season" - is July and August, when the water of the Croatian Adriatic warms up to plus twenty-six degrees, and daytime temperatures stay from twenty-seven to thirty degrees. All Croatian beaches are municipal, and, accordingly, free.

Among tourists, holidays in the resorts of Croatia in the four main coastal regions of the country are very popular: Istria; Northern Dalmatia; South Dalmatia; Central Dalmatia, as well as in the resorts of the Croatian islands. Each region is magnificent, but has its own characteristics for relaxation. Let's take a closer look at the popular resorts of these regions of Croatia.

- a place with a unique microclimate created by numerous coniferous forests and marine evaporation of the Adriatic Sea. Tourists with children love to visit these resorts in Croatia to improve their health and just have a good time. Istria is the northern region of the country, which is a green corner where there is no hot summer and suffocating heat. That is why people come here for whom the heat is contraindicated for health reasons. Thanks to healing climate, here you can cure many diseases or improve health in chronic diseases of the circulatory system, skin ailments.

Since Istria is next door to Italy, this has an impact on local life: very common Italian language, culture, cuisine. But, there is something in this region of Croatia that brings a “fly in the ointment” to the rest here: there are no good beaches, in the sense in which we imagine them, because in almost all resorts it is either a concrete platform from which entrance to the sea, or descent into the water along a ladder thrown over stones. Although in the vicinity of some Istrian resorts there are wild sand and pebble beaches.

- an ancient resort of Croatia, located in the southwestern tip of Istria. Pula - a city with rich history, inextricably linking its foundation with the legend of the Greek Argonauts, who sailed past these scenic spots in search of the "Golden Fleece" they founded the settlement "Polai". Pula - perfect place for sightseeing tours, because it has a lot of interesting sights, beautiful architecture of buildings, rich folk traditions. And yet, this Croatian resort is an amazing ecological corner. As for the beaches, there are many and very different, both in the city itself and in its environs. But the beaches of the Pula resort are located among the rocks in small bays. There they are stony and pebbly. There are beaches with concrete platforms. The urban resort area of ​​Pula - "Punta Verudela" - is one of the most popular tourist destinations. Another place visited by vacationers is Medulin, an area where numerous Pula hotels are concentrated, there are stone and pebble beaches and beaches for nudists. The beaches of the Pula resort are well equipped, there are diving clubs, sports centers, and places for children to have fun.

- one of the largest resort cities in Croatia on the Adriatic Sea in the western part of the coast of the Istrian peninsula. Holidays in Rovinj are considered elite. There is beautiful nature, many sports facilities, historical and architectural monuments. Since 1963 the city of Rovinj has become cultural monument Croatia. Cultural events, exhibitions, shows, sports competitions are constantly held here, including the Rovinj-Pesaro regatta, held in May, and the fair, held in August, as well as yachting competitions held in September. The Port of Rovinj traditionally takes part in the "International Regatta". The beaches of the Rovinj resort are artificial small-pebble, but after a few meters from the shore, the pebbles turn into large natural stones. Rovinj is one of the most suitable resorts in the country for families with children. Children's pebble beaches are located among the rocks in small coves. The beaches of Rovinj have good infrastructure, but they are not famous for it, but for their amazing natural beauty and wonderful views, opening the panorama of the old city, and the beautiful nearby islands. Rovinj also has beaches for nudists.

- large Croatian tourist centre, located on the shores of the Poreč lagoon at the western tip of the Istrian peninsula. Porec - beautiful old City ok with many historical sights, medieval fortress towers, walls, ancient Roman houses, temples. The beaches in the resort of Porec are either concrete or made of large pebbles, in some places stone slopes are laid to the sea. City Beach is very popular among tourists, not far from the city center, but many vacationers go to the beaches: Blue Lagoon, Oliva, Zelena Laguna. And from the city embankment, wonderful views of the sea surface and the picturesque Adriatic coast.

- located in the northwestern tip of Istria. There are not many architectural and historical sights here, but there are many sports facilities and good beaches stretching for twenty kilometers: these are small-pebble coves, beaches with concrete platforms, rocky parts of the coast. Numerous hotels, bungalows, and apartments stretch along the Adriatic coast in the city of Umag. Almost every hotel has a sports center where tourists can go diving, surfing, windsurfing, cycling or play team games. Beaches from hotels are much better equipped than public ones. In the vicinity of the city of Umag there are several beaches for nudists. This Croatian resort hosts the famous Croatia Open tennis tournament every year. By the way, many divers traditionally rest in Umag, because this resort has the cleanest water. Very often, tourists who have bought a vacation tour in Umag choose a resort for its proximity to Venice and the Italian city of Trieste. Thus, they manage to visit one more state in a day - Italy, to see it interesting places. To Venice from the Croatian coast of Istria, namely from the resort of Umag, the distance is fifty nautical miles, so a whole day is enough to visit a beautiful corner of Italy.

- one of the most beautiful towns Croatia in the northeastern tip of Istria. The resort is located in the Kvarner Bay in the Adriatic Sea. This is a very popular place. But not only rest, but treatment, the fact is that Opatija has a unique microclimate. The city is located in a bay right at the foot of high mountain, which reliably shields it from the winds. The air temperature in Opatija is always several degrees higher than in other Croatian resorts. There are many well-known Croatian hospitals here, which help in the treatment of heart, skin diseases, lung diseases, rheumatism. Of course, as in other places in Croatia, the beaches of Opatija are the only weak point of the resort: they are rocky. The city embankment is one huge and long beach, the entrance to the water is from concrete platforms that turn into stairs leading to the sea. The lack of good beaches is compensated by the fact that almost all hotels, even low-star ones, have swimming pools, including indoor ones. Since the resort of Opatija has been a wellness resort for a couple of centuries, accordingly, even in those years, the nobility of the country preferred to come here for a wellness vacation and built luxurious villas and mansions for themselves. These buildings have survived to this day, mostly they were bought by local hotels, so that any tourist can live for several days in palaces that once belonged to noble Austro-Hungarian and Italian families.
