Continuing our popular series 25 Things to Know about Croatia on September 18, 2016, one of the most intriguing islands of them all - Vis.

August 23, 2016 -TCN continues looking at the best beaches in Croatia. This time here is Top 5 Lošinj.

Lošinj is the 11th largest Adriatic island by area, measuring 33 kilometers (21 miles) long. Lošinj is part of the Cres-Lošinj archipelago which includes Cres and Lošinj, and a number of smaller and uninhabited small islands. Cres is the largest by area, and Lošinj the second largest in this archipelago.

The settlements on Lošinj include Nerezine, Sveti Jakov, Ćunski, Artatore, Mali Lošinj and Veli Lošinj.

An island formed with chalk limestone and dolomite rocks, Lošinj boasts a mild climate, evergreen vegetation and 2600 hours of sunshine a year. Here are our favorite beaches on Lošinj.

August 17, 2016 - TCN continues looking at the best beaches in Croatia. This time here is Top 5 Pelješac, the best beaches.

The Pelješac peninsula is the second largest in Croatia, ranging around 70 kilometers long. The peninsula connects with the Croatian mainland at Ston, with the Pelješac channel dividing the peninsula from the island of Korčula.

An area that remains still raw in nature, standing amongst commercial and urban values, here are our top 5 beaches for this picturesque peninsula.

We continue our best beaches series with the island of Pašman, located just south of Zadar and surrounded by the islands Ugljan, Iž, Dugi otok and Kornati.

Pašman is an island located in the Zadar archipelago, separated from the mainland by the Pašman canal which contains ten smaller islands. Covering a surface of 60 km2 and a length of 70km, Pašman has an indented shore which is why it is considered one of the largest Croatian islands - and also the island with the largest green surface.

A perk of Pašman and an element that makes it all the more special is the constantly changing sea current, which every 6 hours changes - making the sea at Pašman the cleanest in the Adriatic. Here are our top 5 picks for best beaches on Pašman.

Continuing our look at the best beaches in Croatia's top locations, TCN's Vice Rudan - author of the Makarska Beaches app - takes us to five of the best on the Makarska Riviera on August 8, 2016. 

We continue our top beaches series with a relatively unknown island that boasts beaches considered among the most beautiful in the Adriatic: Dugi Otok.

Translating in English to “long island”, Dugi Otok is the seventh largest island in the Adriatic sea, located off the Dalmatian coast west of Zadar. Essentially untouched by tourists and kept wild in nature, Dugi Otok sparkles with limestone, is lush with woodlands, and has a captivating sea so blue you’ll find yourselves in instant paradise. Here are our top 5 picks for the best beaches on this blissful island.

Rab is an island in Croatia with a town of the same name, located just off the northern Croatian coast. The island is 22 kilometers long and has roughly 9,300 inhabitants.

Known as the “happy island”, Rab is also one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic, boasting a densely populated pine forest in the southwest. With one of the most diverse landscapes in the Kvarner region, Rab was actually declared as a Geopark back in 2008. As if this island could have any more good features, did you know Rab also has around 30 sandy beaches?

As you might have guessed, we are continuing our best beaches series with Rab. Here are our top 5.

Moving along on our series of finding the best beaches, today we bring you Vis: perhaps the most beautiful island on the Adriatic.

An island that is furthest from the main islands on the Dalmatian coast, which it is best to reach with your private boat. Much of Vis’ recent history was spent serving as a military base for the Yugoslav National Army, completely closed off from foreign visitors from the the 1950’s-1989. The upside to this? Vis was kept from being developed, essentially erasing the carbon footprint, driving the population to other areas. What this means for us? Vis is pristine, raw, and kept in its most natural forms, and today we bring you sandy beaches, pebbled ones, and even an award winner. Here are the 5 best beaches on Vis.

No stranger to anyone visiting the coast of Croatia is that we pride ourselves on our beaches, here we take a look at Brač. The summer season is a blissful paradise for travelers and locals alike. Basking in the salty sea with crystal blue waters is something we long for, and lucky for us, that temptation is easy to conquer.

Perhaps fortunately and unfortunately is the amount of beaches we are tasked with in Croatian paradise, making it nearly impossible to pick just one. Lucky for you we felt we would make it a bit easier and narrow it down to the best five beaches per island, city, and coastal playground. Here are our picks for Brač.

Continuing the TCN close up look at 25 Things to Know about Croatia on June 29, 2016, Filipa Marusic takes us to th UNESCO World Heritage Site of the old town of Trogir.
