Top 5 Reasons why you should visit Croatia
1. The cleanest Mediterranean sea
Nowhere in Europe have I seen the sea so clear and and alive as in Croatia. Especially when traveling with kids you can´t beat the awesomeness of being able to snorkel right off the beach and feel like you´re in a fish bowl ;-)
2. The breathtaking views off the Dalmatian coast
Areal view of Dubrovnik
The view from the AMAZING Radisson Blu hotel in Dubrovnik (by far the best one we´ve stayed at so far!)
3. Island hopping
Croatia has around 400 islands scattered around the coastline. Most of them are easily accessible by catamarans and car ferries running daily between most islands.
Jadrolinija is the main operator and if you´re traveling during the high seasons I recommend you book in advance.
Mljet
You can´t beat a "private" beach. Kids loved swimming out to the "pirate" ships ;-)
4. The magnificent medieval cities
As soon as you walk through the gates of the amazing city of Dubrovnik it feels as if you´ve entered a time machine and gone back 500 years.

5. The People
Croatians are extremely friendly, relaxed and proud. They will gladly tell you about their countries history, trials and tribulations.
(And guess what? - They´re pretty handsome too ;-)

If you´ve been to Croatia I´d love to hear about it!
Take care
