克罗地亚的大部分海岸都包括壮观的悬崖。

Croatia is not exactly a hidden travel destination given its 12 million annual visitors, but for most North Americans the small Adriatic country remains off the beaten path and relatively unknown. Although popular with tourists from Central Europe in the summer, Croatia’s magnificent coastline is fairly quiet in spring and fall, providing an affordable and enjoyable vacation spot without the crowds. Despite its small size, Croatia offers a great variety of natural, cultural and historic attractions, all on a rather narrow strip of land along the Adriatic sea. The country is blessed with towering mountain ranges, a magnificent coastline, beautiful island archipelagos, and many cultural gems from Europe’s past. Within an hour’s drive you can scale tall limestone walls in the Velebit Mountains, visit the remains of Croatia’s medieval kingdom, go kite surfing in a windswept bay, and sip coffee on a square that was once a Roman marketplace. And what’s more, Croatia is still cheaper than most other European travel destinations. Croatia has not yet joined the European Union and does not use the Euro, so it is one of the most affordable destinations in Europe—especially if you come from outside Europe. The local currency库纳对美元的汇率有利，一次，当美元疲软时，这对预算旅行者来说是一个很大的优势。此外，运输成本，住宿和食物比中欧或西欧低得多。

Croatia: A Land Rich in History and Art

A visit to Croatia allows visitors not only to explore the Croatian people’s own unique culture, but also offers a glimpse into the history of its invading neighbors. Croatia’s history is closely linked to that of Central European powers, which left their cultural and architectural heritage. Not only did the Greeks and Romans leave their traces here, but there are also historic remains of early Christian churches, medieval castles, and Venetian palaces, which tell the turbulent history of a region torn between its allegiance to Eastern and Central European powers. The importance of Croatia’s historic places has also been recognized by UNESCO, which has included several sites on its World heritage list, including such historic sites as Sibenik, Split, Trogir, and Dubrovnik, all of them situated on the Adriatic Sea.

如上所述，在亚得里亚海的短途旅行距离内，游客可以在克罗地亚的许多历史上旅行。例如，扎达尔市位于克罗地亚中央海岸沿线，有一个保存完好的罗马论坛，一个9世纪的罗马式大教堂，以及从城市遵守威尼斯人统治之日起的文艺复兴时期的建筑。塞尔维亚部队在1991 - 95年从克罗地亚独立战争期间，塞尔维亚部队的围困后，旧城区的许多新建筑物都证明了重建工作。从这个历史上产生的形象是一个年轻的国家为其与其他欧洲国家共享的多样化遗产感到自豪。

Ancient Roman monuments, including forums, can be found in Croatia.

克罗地亚：户外运动爱好者的好目的地

该国主要以其海滨度假胜地而闻名，比亚得里亚海的温暖水域提供更多的东西。除了其美丽的海岸线以及无数岛，悬崖，海湾和入口外，克罗地亚还拥有坚固的山脉，狭窄的峡谷，洞穴，洞穴，原始的湖泊和瀑布。最自然的特征是克罗地亚的景观是喀斯特岩石，是构成该国大部分山脉和岛屿的多孔石灰石。由于水很快流过喀斯特岩石，植被稀缺，土壤质量在整个过程中很差喀斯特地区，这就是为什么沿海维利比特山脉和邻近的岛屿群岛的大部分地区仅在整个地区的历史中都稀少地定居和种植。但是，曾经是克罗地亚人类发展的障碍已成为当今旅游业的主要资产之一。贫瘠的美丽喀斯特洛克（Rock）赋予克罗地亚景观独特的天赋，其白色岩石脸，狭窄的峡谷，深洞，巨大的瀑布和一个无人居住的岛屿就在海上。为了表彰其自然的美丽和文化意义，克罗地亚中央海岸沿线的干旱和岩石科纳蒂群岛被宣布为国家公园，禁止在群岛上开发任何旅游基础设施。今天，它是地中海和海洋和海洋和禽类野生动植物的最大海洋和岛屿储备之一。Zadar和Murter等附近几个沿海城镇提供了前往国家公园的一日游。

与海岸平行的维利比特山脉为克罗地亚最壮观的风景和各种各样的户外活动提供了。尽管山脉不是克罗地亚最高的山脉，但它坚固而稀疏的地形可以使徒步旅行，徒步旅行，爬行和攀岩造就了巨大的景象。Paklenica国家公园（Paklenica National Park）位于历史悠久的沿海小镇扎达尔（Zadar）附近，是该山区户外休闲的中心。公园入口处的狭窄峡谷提供了出色的攀岩路线，后国有许多远足径和几个小屋，徒步旅行者可以在这里过夜。

KRKA国家公园是海岸附近的另一个值得的自然景点。该公园位于风景如画的历史悠久的小镇西贝尼克（Sibenik）内陆30英里处，以其由克尔卡河（River Krka）创造的宏伟瀑布而闻名。尽管公园没有像附近的Paklenica国家公园那样拥有长长的远足小径网络，但有几条较短的小径，还有乘船游览，可让游客经过长长的峡谷经过瀑布。更不用说一个僻静的岛屿修道院了。

除了参观克罗地亚国家公园外，游客还可以沉迷于沿海地区的各种户外活动。游泳，划船和帆船自然是这里最受欢迎的活动，但是崎coast的海岸拥有许多入口和邻近的山脉，为更苛刻的运动（例如风筝冲浪和帆板冲浪）提供了良好的条件。Kornati国家公园的原始海事生态系统也是潜水员的好目的地。

预算住宿

With the exception of large hotels located around the Istrian peninsula in the north, accommodations along Croatia’s coast are mostly provided by affordable small hotels, pensions, and guest houses. If you travel by car, you can also take advantage of the many campgrounds scattered along Croatia’s Adriatic coast.

到克罗地亚及其周围

There are regular flights to Croatia’s capital Zagreb from many European airports. During the summer charter airlines offer additional flights that connect major European cities to Croatian vacation destinations along the coast, such as Pula, Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik. TryCroatia Airlinesor瑞安航空。

There are five cities along the Adriatic coast that can be reached by train: Pula and Rijeka in the north, and Zadar Sibenik, and Split along the Central Dalmatian coast. Croatia is part of the Eurail Pass system, which means that you can travel to Croatia on a Eurail Pass, a regional pass or a Croatia Rail Pass.

从北克罗地亚的几个城市到威尼斯，以及从扎达尔，斯普利特和斯塔利毕业到安科纳（意大利）以及从拆分到意大利的佩斯卡拉（意大利），都有定期的渡轮服务。也有一些渡轮经常从杜布罗夫尼克（Dubrovnik）到里耶卡（Rijeka）上下克罗地亚海岸。此外，还有定期的渡轮服务将克罗地亚的所有人口岛屿与大陆联系起来。

公共汽车在较大的城市和较小的城镇之间运营。如果您没有汽车，那么公共汽车和火车旅行的组合应该可以带您到克罗地亚，没有任何问题。欧洲线connects Croatia with several other European countries by bus.

所有主要的国际汽车租赁公司在克罗地亚都设有分支机构，主要是在机场，但在亚得里亚海沿岸的主要城镇。

什么时候走

As elsewhere in Europe, summers are the most crowded and most expensive season to travel in Croatia. On the other hand, this is also the time when most of the art, culture, and music festivals take place, if that’s one of your main interests. But Croatia is also an ideal destination for off-season travel, when there are fewer tourists and prices are lower. Due to it southern location, Croatia’s Adriatic coast has a mild Mediterranean climate, with long hot summers and short rainy winters. Spring and fall are great seasons for a visit to Croatia. The weather is warm, and even though water temperatures are a little lower than in the summer, there are still plenty of outdoor and cultural activities to suit your interests.
