View All DealsHolidays to Croatia have really crept onto the radar over the last few years. This scenic part of Eastern Europe scores highly on everything from beaches to history.
A haven of hidden gems
Croatia turned up on the UK’s tourism timeline fashionably late. In fact, it was only in the late 90s that the country started to find its feet in the mainstream market. And that means lots of the country is yet to be discovered by the masses. Take, Kvarner Bay, for instance, our brand new destination for summer 2019. It’s one of Croatia’s best-kept secrets, and lines up sandy beaches, the historic town of Opatija and a collection of easy-to-explore islands.
Island-hopping territory
A large part of Croatia’s appeal comes from its coastline. The seaside here stretches out for 1,778 kilometres and 1,185 islands float off the shores. Each place has its own calling card. The likes of Kolocep and Mljet put Mother Nature in the driving seat, while Hvar and Dubrovnik are favourites with celebrities and film-makers. Then there’s Brac Island, which is known for its iconic, fin-shaped beach. If you can’t settle on just one place, a tour or Multi-Centre holiday is sure to do the trick.
A super snorkelling scene
The country is quickly making its mark in the diving world, too. The shallow waters of the Istrian Riviera and Dalmatian Coast are ideal for beginners, while the deeper waters in the south offer more experienced divers the chance to explore coral reefs, caves and shipwrecks.
History and hiking
Then there are the historical sites to consider. You could run yourself ragged in Split and Dubrovnik alone, working your way around the likes of the old town walls and Diocletian's Palace. Croatia is also great walking territory. The vineyards, pine forests and national parks here beg for the tread of walking boots.

Kvarner Bay
Kvarner Bay holidays are an ideal way to explore a lesser-known part of Croatia. A mountain-edged horseshoe of coastline cradles a collection of islands, each with their own story to tell.
