Situated in South-East Europe, Croatia is bordered by five countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Hungary, Serbia, and Slovenia. Whilst many countries border the destination, Croatia is not land-locked, and offers the best of both worlds when it comes to a city escape and a beach break, making the country a great choice for a summer holiday. Croatia’s location, heritage and natural beauty positions the country at the top of many people’s travel wish list. From the stunning coastline to historical and beautiful cityscapes, Croatian holidays have something for everyone.

As the 127th largest country in the world, Croatia can be compared to Ireland in terms of size. Despite its small area, Croatia encapsulates a huge 1,244 islands, islets, and reefs, but the majority are not actually inhabited by people. The largest inhabited island in Croatia is Krk.
