Jedno od najljepših odredišta jadranske obale

Ako vaša mediteranska fantazija uključuje mirne dane na pješčanim plažama, uz safirno more, s pogledom na srednjovjekovne gradske zidine, Hrvatska ispunjava sve okvire. Jadranska obala prošarana je pješčanim plažama, stjenovitim rtovima i poznatim zidovima ograđenim gradovima s visine Mletačkog carstva. To je sama vizija Mediterana, a mnoge regije su dosad neoštećene odmaralištima i razvojem vila.

Hrvatska izvanredna otočna obala nedvojbeno je njezina glavna atrakcija. Prva stvar koja vas dojmi je izuzetna bistrina vode. Kada je postavljena na blistavo bijelu šljunčanu plažu, voda svjetluca intenzitetom poput dragulja u nijansama smaragda i safira. Hrvatska je savršena za lijene dane provedene u izležavanju i proždiranju smeće prazničnih romana. Ako sve to zvuči previše opuštajuće, tu su aktivnosti na bazi vode koje će vas mamiti s ležaljke – ronjenje, ronjenje, vožnja kajakom, jedrenje na dasci, jelo, samo za početak.

KORNATSKO OTOČJE

Otkrijte našu prirodnu i kulturnu baštinu

Smještena između Balkana i srednje Europe, ova je zemlja tisućljećima prolazila između suprotstavljenih kraljevstava, carstava i republika. Ako postoji dobra strana ove kontinuirane dislokacije, to je u bogatom kulturnom naslijeđu koje je svaki ostavio za sobom. Venecijanske palače priljubljene su uz Napoleonove utvrde, rimski stupovi strše iz ranih slavenskih crkava, a bečke palače sučeljavaju se sa socrealističkim skulpturama. Izvrsni muzeji prikazuju blaga koja pokrivaju raspon europske povijesti, od prapovijesti do postkomunističke, pričajući priču koja je podjednako fascinantna i užasavajuća.

Istraživanje i otkrivanje glavnih povijesnih atrakcija u Hrvatskoj, posjet jednom od brojnih primorskih stoljetnih lučkih gradova s kamenim građevinama iz rimskog doba i obrambenim zidinama također je dio vašeg odmora. Posjetite Dubrovnik i saznajte više o gradskim zidinama i bogatoj povijesti ove male, ali vrlo utjecajne republike.

Poslužujući klasični dalmatinski koktel povijesnih gradova, vode poput dragulja, krševitih vapnenačkih planina, osunčanih otoka, predivne klime i mediteranske kuhinje, ova regija je san turista. Ipak, gradovi i otoci južnije su ti koji su u središtu pozornosti, ostavljajući Sjevernu Dalmaciju, ako ne sasvim neotkrivenu, onda zasigurno manje preplavljenu. S jahtom Alfa Mario možete ploviti između nenaseljenih otoka bez trunke razvoja, izgubljeni u snovima davnog Mediterana, dok planinari mogu lutati usamljenim stazama na kojima još obitavaju medvjedi i vukovi i istraživati tri najimpresivnija hrvatska nacionalna parka koji se nalaze u zaleđe

Republika Hrvatska

14 STOLJEĆA STARA TRADICIJA

Hrvatska je zemlja s preko 1000 otoka i ukupno preko 4500 kilometara obale. Hrvatska itinerar vodi vas na vrijedne hrvatske otoke i hrvatsku obalu ispunjenu netaknutim uvalama i uvalama koje zgodno okružuje kristalno čisto tirkizno more Jadranskog mora. Netaknutu prirodu i ljepotu Hrvatske dobro predstavljaju dva stroga rezervata i jedanaest parkova prirode te osam nacionalnih parkova: Brijuni, Kornati, Plitvička jezera, Risnjak, Mljet, Krka i Nacionalni park Sjeverni Velebit čija netaknuta prirodna ljepota zauzima 8% cjelokupnog zemlja.

Hrvatska je od sredine 19. stoljeća glavna turistička destinacija u Europi, a jedan od najvećih razloga zašto je Hrvatska tako popularna destinacija je prekrasna obala duž Jadranskog mora. Otkrijte i istražite najljepše djeliće hrvatske obale i otoka uz Alfa Mario brod gdje možete otkriti najljepše plaže i mjesta za odmor upotpunjene očaravajućim i slikovitim krajolicima dalmatinske obale.

Protegnuta duž pjenušavog plavog Jadranskog mora, Hrvatska se neprestano hvata u žudnju putnika sa svojim šljunčanim uvalama, valovitim zelenim brežuljcima i povijesnim, ali živahnim gradovima, koji su domaćini festivala i događanja tijekom cijele godine. Visoka sezona u Hrvatskoj u srpnju i kolovozu nudi zajamčeno sunce, ali i zajamčenu gužvu, dijelom zbog toga što su europske škole na ljetnim raspustima. Sezona ramena izvrsno je vrijeme za posjet obali: Jadran je dovoljno topao za kupanje, gužve su rjeđe, a cijene niže. U proljeće i rano ljeto, maestral (jaki, postojani zapadni vjetar) omogućuje izvrsnu plovidbu.

Split

Ancient Split is the second-largest city in Croatia, and one of its most captivating. It’s best known for its 4th-century Diocletian Palace, built as a retirement residence for the Roman emperor, a maze-like complex that makes up nearly half the historic center. Strolling the streets and alleyways you’ll discover influences from the Greeks, Romans, and Venetians, with the centuries-old buildings now housing unique boutiques, galleries, wine bars, and cafes. By climbing the nearly 200-foot-high bell tower at the Cathedral of Saint Dominus in the heart of the palace, you’ll get a view over it all and beyond.

Split deserves its popular acclaim. Experience life as it’s been lived for thousands of years in Diocletian’s Palace, one of the world’s most imposing Roman remains. The maze-like streets of the buzzing old town – the living heart and soul of Split – are chock-full of bars, shops and restaurants. Getting lost in the labyrinth of narrow streets, passageways and courtyards is one of Croatia’s most enchanting experiences – and it’s small enough for you to always find your way out again easily. Before you leave, escape the palace walls for a drink on the marble-paved, palm-fringed Riva along the water’s edge.

Hvar

Hvar Town is must-see while you are in Croatia and if you care about seeing and being seen, this is the place to be. Rubbing shoulders with the posh yachties are hundreds of young partygoers, dancing on tables at the town's legendary beach bars. Hvar's interior hides abandoned ancient hamlets, craggy peaks, vineyards and the lavender fields that the island is famous for. This region is worth exploring on a day trip, as is the island's southern coast, which has some of Hvar’s most beautiful and isolated coves.

Hvar Town is estimated to draw around 20,000 people a day in the high season. It’s amazing that they can all fit in the small bay town, where 13th-century walls surround beautifully ornamented Gothic palaces and traffic-free marble streets but fit they do. Hvar town is home to the Spanish Fortress, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, and a Franciscan monastery. After exploring the town on foot, you can go on a boat ride to the nearby Pakleni Islands or make your way to the blue and green caves for more adventure.

Brac

Brac Island is the longest and most elevated island in Croatia. The island is known for its fishing and agricultural products with locals producing good wine, olive oil, figs, nectarines and other fruits. But the main export is, and has been from ancient times, the famous Brac stone. From this, many famous buildings in the world have been built, including the White House in Washington D.C., Berlin’s Reichstag, and the Catholic cathedral in Liverpool. Closer to home, Diocletian’s Palace in Split and the cathedral in Trogir, have also been constructed from this material.

The main resorts are Supetar, Bol – home to one of the most famous beaches in the Adriatic, the Golden Horn (Zlatni Rat) – Supetar, Sutivan, Milna, and Sumartin. Pebble cape stretches into the open sea like a finger whose tip changes form according to the direction of the wind and waves. A mile-long promenade shaded by pines links Zlatni Rat beach with Bol harbor making a particularly pleasant walk.

Dubrovnik

While it appears on every “thing to do in Croatia” list, visiting the Old Town of Dubrovnik is one of the top Croatia activities, and for good reason. The city of Dubrovnik is simply stunning – there are so many museums, alleyways, and restaurants to check out, and there is so much history here to uncover. The buildings in the old city are made of white limestone that shines bright against the terracotta roofs of the Old Town and the deep blue of the Adriatic Sea below.

Medieval Dubrovnik, known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” has become one of the world’s top destinations. Its walled Old City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, filled with magnificent architectural wonders and marble-paved streets. Visitors can marvel at buildings like the 15th-century Rector’s Palace and explore the remarkable Franciscan monastery complex which holds one of Europe’s oldest pharmacies, founded in 1317. It’s also possible to walk atop the ancient city walls, enjoying a few of the Adriatic and nearby islands on one side, and the red-tiled roofs of the historic center on the other.

Despite being relentlessly shelled in the 1990s during Croatia’s Homeland War, its mighty walls, sturdy towers, medieval monasteries, baroque churches, graceful squares and fascinating residential quarters all look magnificent again. For an unrivaled perspective of this Adriatic pearl, take the cable car up Srđ, the city's craggy backdrop. For a more intimate glimpse, circle the city walls and peer into hidden gardens and ancient lanes strung with laundry.

Vis

The island of Vis is the farthest-flung of the main Dalmatian islands. It’s a magical place, with only a couple of small towns, a sparsely populated interior and a shoreline indented with isolated coves. The most strikingly beautiful of them is Stiniva, surrounded by a near-circle of rocky cliffs, with only a narrow opening to the sea. It can be reached by an extremely rough track leading down from a remote backroad, but it’s much easier to get here by boat.

In 2016, Stiniva beach on the island of Vis has named the best beach in Europe. One of Croatia’s top beaches, Stiniva, is well hidden from the sea and not the easiest beach to access. From our yacht swim through to the sheltered white-pebble beach where a lone cafe serves cold drinks, snacks and ice creams to the determined souls who make it here.

Kornati

Composed of 140 uninhabited islands, islets and reefs covering 300 sq km, the Kornatis are the largest and densest archipelago in the Adriatic. Due to the typically karstic terrain, the islands are riddled with cracks, caves, grottoes and rugged cliffs. Since there are no sources of fresh water they are mostly barren. The evergreens and holm oaks that used to be found here were long ago burned down. Far from stripping the islands of their beauty, the deforestation has highlighted startling rock formations, whose stark whiteness against the deep-blue Adriatic is an eerie and wonderful sight.

The Kornati Islands form four groups running northwest to southeast. The first two groups of islands lie closer to the mainland and are known locally as Gornji Kornat. The largest of these islands is Žut. There are about 300 buildings on the Kornati Islands, mostly clustered on the southwestern coast of Kornat. ornati National Park shelters part of the largest and densest archipelago in the Adriatic.
