Let’s face it, the reason most people come here, the reason why Croatia is the destination of the moment: its coastline. From Istria right down to Dubrovnik and around a thousand islands, Croatia’s shoreline is stunningly beautiful, lapped by a clear Adriatic and strictly protected from unwanted development. Here we feature 13 of the most stunning views you’re ever likely to see.

Whether it’s Dubrovnik’s iconic white walls, Šibenik’s masterly St James Cathedral or just a secluded beach somewhere in Dalmatia, everything looks awesome when offset by the clear azure of the Adriatic. It’s irresistible – you just want to dive in. Some of these photos have no specific defined location because so much of Croatia’s coast is hard to pin down – turn a corner there’s one beach, head down this pathway, there’s a hidden cove. All there is is you, sky, sea and maybe a deserted island or two. What there isn’t is people or rows of hotels. For once, the marketing people got it right. Croatia really is the Mediterranean as it once was.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day.
