Croatia Handbook

by Jane Foster

Published 25 April 2003
The number of visitors to Croatia continues to increase, drawn by the dramatic landscape of rugged mountains, clear blue sea, countless islands and well-preserved old Venetian towns along the coast. This guide covers Zagreb and inland Croatia, Istria, Kvarner, north, central and south Dalmatia including Dubrovnik. It features sailing the Croatian coast with its isolated bays and numerous islands, and the best beaches, including naturist beaches and watersports centres. As well as coverage of UNESCO-listed Croatian treasures such as Dubrovnik and Split, the handbook also offers information on where to stay, from hotels and pensions to "Robinson Crusoe" accommodation on uninhabited islands and newly restored lighthouse lettings.
