As one of the most important tourist destinations in the Mediterranean, Croatia boasts a long-standing tradition in tourism. Each Croatian tourist region has shaped its specific offerings in line with global trends and local tradition.

Croatia's history dates back thousands of years with many historic buildings from the first decade perfectly preserved. There are numerous cultural and historical monuments in Croatia, such as the ancient amphitheatre in Pula, the palace of the Emperor Diocletian in Split (under UNESCO protection), the Romanesque cities of Krk, Rab, Pag, Koreula and Trogir, Dubrovnik, a 13th century city with excellently preserved Renaissance towers and walls, which is also under UNESCO protection, one of Europe's first public theatres in Hvar, the basilica of Euphrasius' in Poree, the preromanesque church of St. Donat in Zadar, Šibenik cathedral, and many others.

In the continental part of Croatia, there are some 50 medieval castles, as well as picturesque cities and towns, such as Varaždin, where acclaimed baroque concerts are held. The capital city, Zagreb, over 900 years old, is adorned by the medieval Upper Town and has numerous places of worship, museums and theatres.

Croatia also has eight national parks, including the Plitvice Lakes (a UNESCO world heritage site since 1949), Paklenica and Risnjak in the continental region. And the Kornati archipelago, Brijuni, the Krka river and the wooded Adriatic island of Mljet are other national parks found in the coastal region. There are an additional six natural parks: the Kopaeki rit (marshlands), Medvednica, Velebit, Biokovo, Telašeica, Lonjsko polje, Vransko lake, Papuk, Ueka and Žumberak.

The Adriatic coast with 1,187 islands, is one of the most indented in Europe, and is ideal for sailing. The needs of visitor will be satisfied in the hotels, camping sites, marinas and private residences by the intimate atmosphere of the fishing villages and small harbours, unique cuisine and excellent wines, and in the continental part by the countryside, hunting and fishing.

Nautic Tourism

 

Croatia's coast is 5835 km long, has 1185 islands and islets, and extends from the northwest to the southeast. It is divided into the regions of Istria, Kvarner and Dalmatia.

Croatia is home to 50 marinas, all gathered together under the Croatian Marinas Group, with a capacity of over 13,200 sea berths and 4,500 dry berths. The larger marinas have technical services, derricks, petrol stations and various commercial and catering services.

About half of the marinas belong to the ACI Club (Adriatic Croatia International Club) and the others are independent. Of the twenty-one ACI marinas seventeen are open throughout the year and four during the summer season only.

Adriatic Croatia International Club, among the navigators better known as the ACI club presents a unique chain of 21 marinas, which extend from Dubrovnik in the south to Umag in the northern part of the Croatian Adriatic.

Nautic Tourism - Marinas

 

Berth Fees in Marinas

Fees are charged in Croatian marinas for yacht berths and other services. They are usually fixed and published in the autumn for the following year.

Mooring Fees in Public Harbours

On public piers in harbours under municipal authority, the local authorities have the right to charge mooring fees. The amount of the fee depends on the size of the yacht and the length of pier it occupies, which means that yachts mooring alongside the pier will pay more than those mooring stern of bows to. When berthing "in a pack" (several yachts mooring alongside each other), the mooring fee is charged for every yacht. The amount of the fee is determined by the local authority can vary from one harbour to another.

Berth Fees in Bays

In some areas, the local authorities charge mooring fees for yachts moored in bays under their authority. In return, garbage is collected and, in some places, groceries delivered. Law will in future regulate the extent to which fees can be charged without any service being provided. Persons collecting mooring fees must identify themselves by producing a printed receipt.

Buying Food

Shopping for food presents no problems along the Croatian coast or on the islands. All marinas and harbour have well-supplied supermarkets. However, during prolonged spells of bad weather there can be a shortage of fresh vegetables and bread on small islands, which do not have a regular ferry service. Food prices are comparable to those in Europe. Restaurants can be more expensive on small islands.

Fuel

Fuel is easily available both on roads and in harbours. All types of petrol, including unleaded petrol, and diesel are available; however, unleaded petrol pumps and less common on piers. Petrol stations are temporarily closed for safety reasons when they are being supplied with petrol from tankers.

 Water and Electricity in Marinas

All Croatian marinas and some harbours have water and electricity hook-ups on the pontoon-piers. Water: water connections are usually 1 inch in diameter, 3 inch diameter connections are much less common. Because of possible water shortages in the summer months, most Croatian marinas require yachts to use hoses with taps.

Electricity: In Croatia the current is 220 V AC. In marinas and public harbours (as well as camping grounds), three-pin "Euro-plugs" are used. In some marinas (Punat, Kremik) a number of pillars have 'conventional' safety sockets.

Naturism

Croatia has a long tradition of naturist tourism, creating an image of an ideal naturist destination by organisation and construction of adequate specialised buildings and facilities.

Croatian naturist centres are praised for their protection of the environment and some naturist destinations such as "Valalta" Rovinj, "Koversada" Vrsar, "Ulika" Cervar Porat are adorned with the prestigious international symbol of a protected environment - the "Blue Flag".

Naturist centres accept all guests with the International Naturist Federation (INF) member's card and all families that follow naturist rules. It should be stated that single men without the International Naturist Federation member's card, as a rule are not admitted.

Besides naturist centres and camps with parts assigned to naturists, there are many beaches on the Adriatic that are not especially marked. Make note that although naturism is tolerated, don't be the first naturists on a beach you're not familiar with, especially if it is in the vicinity of a town or village!

Camping

 

Croatia has about 500 clean and well-maintained campsites (usually about $6 a night) spread along the coast and throughout the islands.

The most developed region in terms of the number of campgrounds, capacity and quality of service is Istria, Kvarner and its nearby islands, while Dalmatia is the most attractive part of the country due to its nature, combined with its diverse coast. Most campgrounds are located along the shore within easy reach of the beaches. Campground quality, on the whole, corresponds to European criteria, particulary concerning availability of space and facilities. Prices are among the most reasonable in the Mediteranean. It must be mentioned that camping outside of designated camping areas is prohibited.

Short list of hunting areas: 

Osijek-Baranja County

Location: at the north-east of Croatia. At the total hunting area of 347,685 ha, there are 83 joint hunting-grounds. Hunting in this region has a rich tradition, notably big game hunting. It offers top trophy game in open hunting-grounds (deer, wild boar, roe-buck) and in fenced hunting-grounds (fallow deer, mouflon). Small game hunting includes pheasant, snipe, quail, partridge, wild duck, wild goose and rabbit.  

Lika-Senj County

By its richness and diversity, the Lika-Senj County provides one of the leading offers in hunting tourism by hunting societies and private hunting-ground lease-holders. Mountain hunting-grounds (North Velebit, Crno jezero, Brinje) are inhabited by big brown bears. On the south side of Velebit, by the sea, in St. George and Jablanac hunting-grounds, it is possible to go mouflon, chamois and fallow deer hunting. In almost all hunting-grounds, the most represented game is wild boar. Inaccessible terrain and good habitats enabled the development of top trophy examples of this game. Among small game, hunting-grounds of the Lika-Senj County offer Greek partridge, snipe, quail, pheasant and rabbit hunting.  

Primorje-Gorski Kotar County

The Primorje-Gorski Kotar County at large is a huge hunting-ground, divided to three natural entities - mountainous, maritime and island entity. Numerous game species, like brown bear, lynx, protected wolf and wood grouse, timid doe, deer, wild boar and chamois, the beauty of the rugged ground, live here in primeval peace almost by laws of nature. Located by the Adriatic coast, from the Bay of Plomin to foothills of Vinodol, are coastal hunting-grounds. The most represented animal is doe, followed by wild boar and red deer. The most attractive game in this hunting area is snipe. The charm of hunting here lies in numerosity of rabbits, Greek partridges and pheasants. There are hunting-grounds on islands of Krk, Rab and on the group of islands of Cres and Losinj. Only here will you find Aksis deer, but it is also possible to hunt fallow deer, doe and mouflon.
