Croatia
- The Country of a Thousand Islands
|
Yes, Croatia has an impressive
over 1000 islands, reefs and cliffs. However, it is not their number but
their astonishing beauty that makes them worth special mention. Only 66
islands are inhabited, but there are more than 66 good reasons for ultimate
joy and delight waiting for you in Croatia.
From the Brijuni archipelago
and its rich history and verdure discreetly rising from the azure of the
North Adriatic, across Cres and its inexplicable fresh-water lake, or the
fascinating sandy island of Susak, the wine-growing Krk and the neighbouring
Losinj, the island covered with centenary pine-groves to the golden beaches
of Rab... and on to Pag, where whiteness of the rocks along its bare shores
takes turns with the green pine woods. We also have to mention the Kornati
Islands, the largest archipelago in the Mediterranean and most of these
islands (101) and the sea around them form the National Park of Kornati.
The superb beauty of the islands of Dugi Otok, Brac, Hvar, Vis and Korcula
all the way down to the southernmost Island Mljet situated between the
Island Korcula and beautiful city of Dubrovnik. Western end of Island Mljet
has been declared a national park due to the specific geographical features:
there are two lakes connected to the sea and to each other by scarcely
visible passages and there is an island within an island in the Veliko
Jezero which has been converted into a hotel. The last pearls in this wonderful
string are Elaphite Islands (seven islands). Croatian islands are a genuine
gift of God; a gift that Croatian people open-heartedly offer to their
guests and friends for ultimate joy and delight. Only a few islands have
been named here and, like we said, there are over a thousand... |
