CROATIA

Croatia is a cultural crossroads on the Adriatic Sea. Greeks, Romans, and Slavs have all left their mark on this alluring place. Overflowing with history and natural wonder, it’s a labyrinth of crumbling castles, rugged mountains, and azure waters. Legend has it that the Greek explorer Odysseus was marooned on the island of Mljet for seven years—you won’t blame him for not leaving sooner.
