Experience Croatia's hot spots and lesser-known destinations—from
central Croatia's castles to the Dalmatian Coast's beaches and islands
to mouth-watering food markets and small boutiques along the way.
Special sidebars tell you how to study the Croatian
language, take in a soccer match, study falconry near Sibenek, and
volunteer to help the endangered griffon falcons on the island of Cres,
among other experiences. Insider tips provided by an array of National
Geographic experts—photographers, writers, and
grantees who have spent significant time in Croatia—direct you to
favorite restaurants, festivals, and other information that only locals
know. Guided walks and drives and an extensive Travel wise section with
hotels, restaurants, and tour recommendations hand-picked
by the author are also included.
