Dalmatian Coast Croatia

" "

The Dalmatian Coast is where many people head when looking to get away from it all in Croatia. Covering much of the country’s Adriatic coast region, this renowned area has plenty of Mediterranean appeal and extends from the island of Rab in the north on down to the Bay of Kotor in the southeast. A land of extremes, it is home to high rising mountains, fertile plains, coastal beaches, and a variety of enticing islands. National parks such as Krka National Park provide good places for recreation, and there are numerous resort areas where fun in the sun is at the heart of things.

Several cities can be found in Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast region. Among them is Zadar, which is found in the northern realms. A historically rich city, Zadar is best known for its Roman ruins and its churches. One of the churches–the Church of St. Donat–dates back to the ninth century. Heading south along the Dalmatian Coast, you eventually come to Split, which is the largest city in the region and also has a rich history. Further south yet is the UNESCO World Heritage city of Dubrovnik, which is also known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic" and figures among the top vacation spots in the entire Mediterranean region.
