National Parks: Krka and Plitvice waterfalls, Mljet salt lake and much more. The best locations for hiking, sailing, cycle tourism and nature discovery. The castles, churches, palaces and ruins of the Roman age. The sun on the golden beach of Zlatni Rat. Stoai, culture and the rudiments of the Croatian language.
