Following the UN brokered ceasefire in 1992 Croatia has moved from being a war-torn, economically backward country to one that is making significant progress in all sorts of ways, to the point where it has started the process of applying for EU membership. The country borders Slovenia and Hungary to the north, Serbia & Montenegro to the east and Bosnia & Herzegovina.
One of the main attractions for the ever-growing numbers of tourists visiting Croatia is the extensive mainland coastline (Dalmatian coast) which extends to over 1100 miles. The largest ports along this coast are Rijeka, Pula, Zadar, Sibenik, Split and Dubrovnik and there is an inland area running west–east from Zagreb to the border with Serbia & Montenegro |

| Complimenting the main coast, there are many secluded islands which give great scope for those wanting to explore by boat. With Emerald blue waters, secluded beaches and plenty of space relative to the numbers of visitors, Croatia is a great destination for those wanting to stay away from the crowds.
Due to its beauty and its value for money, the Dalmatian coast is one of the fastest growing areas for flotilla sailing and there are many options available for those wanting either a club (Beach based) sailing holiday or a mixture of club and flotilla. Excellent mountain biking, snorkeling and other activities are also available. |
