October 15, 2021 – With local seafood currently at its best and cooler temperatures inviting runners, hikers and cyclists to this spectacular location, Omiš in autumn is one of the best destinations of the season. When temperatures cool on the Croatian coast, the telltale signs of tourism start to fade. Villages that were full of people in summer become very still. Only in the larger places does life go on unaffected. The seaside city of Omiš is one such place. The charming Omiš Old Town streets hold their special atmosphere throughout the year. Autumn, in particular, is a favourite time…

October 15, 2021 - It has been a good few weeks for Hvar. Having been voted the best island in Europe once more by Conde Nast, more recognition as the best tranquil destination by the sea, and the 3rd best tranquil destination overall in Europe.  Just a few years ago, at the height of the crazy party tourism insanity - a time when Hvar made a list of the top 7 bachelor party destinations in Europe - it seemed that the damage of Croatia's premier island might be tarnished forever.  What should have been a higher quality holiday experience based…

October 15, 2021 - From Venice and Baku and Mosocw and Istanbul, where are the best congress destinations in New Europe in 2021? Many are in Croatia, it seems.  After the devastation of the pandemic on the congress industry in 2020, events are slowly getting back to a semblance of what they were pre-pandemic, although there is obviously a long way to go.  But it seems that Croatia is more than ready to meet the demand. The 2021 Meeetings Experience Index (MTLG - MEETAOLOGUE) was published recently, a comprehensive analysis of 118 congress destinations in 'New Europe', nad there was…

October 15, 2021 - Respiratory therapies within caves, called speleotherapy, have thousands of years of practice dating back to the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans. Now, for the first time, the first cave for speleotherapy in Croatia has been opened in Grabovača Cave Park.

October 14, 2021 – From thrilling watersports and cycling, brilliant wine and food festivals to wonderful weekend escapes, the epic Drava river in Koprivnica Križevci County is an endless source of fun and inspiration. Of the many rivers that run through Croatia, five of them could truly be classed as European giants – they stretch for around 300 kilometres or longer. They are Sava (945km), Drava (749km), Kupa (297km), Mura (483km) and Danube (2860km). These rivers help define Croatia. They dictate the agriculture, activities and cuisine of the Croatian regions they pass through. Furthermore, they often create the very borders…

October the 14th, 2021 - Korcula tourism this year has exceeded all expectations, much like the truly remarkable (if somewhat incidental) Croatian tourism season has overall, especially when compared to 2020. This Dalmatian island claims that it can attract foreign visitors throughout the post-season, too. As Poslovni Dnevnik/Marta Duic writes, after the end of the traditional summer tourist season on the island of Korcula, which exceeded all expectations, one of the southernmost Croatian islands showed how to attract tourists even during the off-season. Hana Turudic, director of the Korcula Tourist Board, revealed that this year, Korcula tourism realised as much…

October the 14th, 2021 - A remarkably good Croatian summer season which few could have possibly predicted or expected when remembering the dire situation we experienced back in 2020 saw air traffic passengers in Croatia double. The sheer amount of people being transported by air was certainly a breath of fresh air for the travel industry, which was not only so badly harmed by the pandemic, but has also now got to work to regain the trust of travellers. As Poslovni Dnevnik/Darko Bicak writes, back during August 2021, the very height of the Croatian summer season, the total amount of passenger…
