Croatia
Istria, Kvarner and Dalmatia
“Croatia has been glorious - it's so beautiful and I want to go back as often as I can.”Emilia Clarke
Istria, together with the Kvarner Gulf and Dalmatia, constitute Adriatic Croatia. Istria is a triangular peninsula characterized mostly by gentle hills and a low, rugged coastline punctuated by inlets, so deep they're nicknamed fjords and often fronted by small islands, the most important of which are those of the Brijuni archipelago. Located in northern Croatia, Istria is a rural region of great beauty, with vast areas covered in pine forests that reach the coast, along which historic cities such as Poreč, Pula, and Rovinj rise.
The Kvarner Gulf, on the other hand, includes the coasts of mainland Croatia and the islands between Istria and Dalmatia. Among them, Krk, Cres, Rab, and Pag stand out for their importance and beauty.
Dalmatia, on the other hand, is the Croatian region that extends across the central-southern part of the country and encompasses most of its coastline and hundreds of islands. The continental Dalmatian coasts are often mountainous, with high, steep slopes overlooking the sea, as on the Makarska Riviera, with panoramas enriched by the presence of a multitude of islands that rise a short distance from the shore. Dalmatia, with its Roman, medieval, and Venetian historical wonders, encompassed in the historic centers of Zadar, Split, and Dubrovnik, its Mediterranean rhythms, its nature, and the breathtaking sea of the Kornati archipelago and the islands of Brač, Hvar, Korčula, Vis, Lastovo, and Mljet, constitutes one of the most prized Mediterranean regions.
