Croatia

Croatian cities are a paradise for architecture enthusiasts. Fortresses, temples, amphitheatres, authentic old towns with cobblestone streets, Renaissance and Baroque cities embody a significant portion of European history. You won't find such an array of Roman and Venetian-era buildings anywhere else. The world-famous Old Town of Dubrovnik boasts majestic monasteries, palaces, and fountains. However, many recognize it first and foremost as the filming location for “Game of Thrones”.
Split, the second-largest city after the capital, Zagreb, is an ancient gem set in a modern context. At a cafe on the central square, right on the coast, one can toast to a history spanning over 2000 years, much of which can be seen and touched.
Pula, Rovinj, and Zadar – each of these cities deserves at least a day's visit.

Over 1000 picturesque islands off the Croatian coast constitute a world of their own. Their main allure is undoubtedly the beaches with crystal-clear waters, pine trees, and rocky landscapes. Some islands are also rich in churches and forts from the Greek and Roman eras. The island of Krk is accessible via a bridge, while others can be reached by ferry. These charming islands, small and remote, are ideal for seafarers. Renting a boat is often worth every euro spent.

Croatia is also perfect for a road trip in a rented car. The landscape delights with its diversity: from mountains and forests to endless fields. Plitvice Lakes, the winemaking region of Slavonia, Modrič and Barać caves, Zagreb with its old town – these are just some places worth visiting. Stop by a village cafe and order something grown by local farmers. It's always tastier and cheaper here than on the coast.
And now, the main question – what is Croatia's connection to Dalmatian dogs?
Dalmatia is the historical name for a coastal region of Croatia during the Roman Empire. The Dalmatians are a dog breed that originated in this area about 4000 years ago. It's that simple!
