Croatia – Adriatic sea
Croatia is often referred to as a country of a thousand islands. Its main attraction is the Adriatic coast, with thousand scattered islands along the Croatian coast, and only 67 of them are inhabited. That is the main reason why Croatia appears like a paradise for Your vacation.
Croatia lies at the meeting point of the Mediterranean, the Alps and the Pannonian plains.
Croatia is also one of the few European countries which can pride itself on its clean environment and rich flora and fauna.
About 4,300 plant species can be found in Croatia, while in the Adriatic Sea there are about 400 edible fish, cephalopod, shrimp and shellfish species.
Today some 7.5% of Croatian territory is protected within the national park system or under some other regional protection.
Three of the seven national parks are in the mountains ( Risnjak, Paklenica and Plitvica Lakes ), and four are on the coast ( Kornati, Mljet, Brijuni and Krka ).
Of the latter four, all but the park of Krka are on islands.
