Croatia - 1st - travel & holiday accommodation directory - vacation rentals, lodging, apartments

The Republic of Croatia is situated in South-East Europe on the Adriatic sea. The adriatic sea is part of the north meditteranean.
Croatia can be divided into 2 major tourist regions: the coastal region and the continental part, with the coastal area being more significant as far as tourism is concerned.
The coastal area is divided into 3 larger regions:
-the peninsula of Istria (the largest penninsula on the Adriatic sea) lies on the north of the adriatic coast situated between the Gulf of Trieste and the bay of Kvarner,
-the region of Kvarner which is the wider coastal area around the city of Rijeka and is consisted of the Kvarner coastline with islands and the mountain range,
-and the historic region of Dalmatia (which is situated between the island of Rab in the north and the Gulf of Kotor in the south) and also can be divided into regions around the bigger cities or is simply divided into North, Central and South Dalmatia.
The croatian adriatic coast is renowned for its mild meditteranean climate, crystal clear sea and beautiful beaches. The coast consists of over a thousand islands and with its large number of marinas is a haven for nautical tourism. The croatian coastline with its many coves, hidden bays, cliffs, islands and channels is among the most indented on the Mediterranean.and is truely rich in beautiful unspoiled nature. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the crowded beaches or are looking for a quiet family holiday then you can choose from over hundreds of smaller resorts where you can go swimming in natural surroundings on secluded beaches situated in small coves away from houses and the town centre. If its the party scene you`re after then you can choose a more bigger town which has night clubs, discos, pubs, cafes, beach parties etc, or you can choose one of the more renowned tourist resorts famous for its vibrant night life and all night beach parties such as Zrce on the island of Pag, which is a favourite amongst younger tourists. Many places host during summer all kinds of open-air parties and events, house and techno parties with the most popular Croatian and international DJ's, more traditional parties etc.
Croatia offers an array of comfortable private apartments and other types of accommodation such as hotels, private villas for rent, autocamps, etc...
It is not called "the meditteranean as it once was" without a reason.
