Few countries have enjoyed such a sudden surge of tourism in recent years like Croatia. World-class wines, olive oil, truffles and seafood combined with beautiful Mediterranean landscapes and some truly stunning beaches makes it one of the best destinations in Europe. Get to know more about the food on offer when you arrive.

Regions and cities

Beautiful and historic Dubrovnik; the palatial coastal city of Split; Istrian landscapes that rival northern Italy – there are plenty of places in Croatia to visit. Take a look at what we discovered when we toured the country with top chefs, eating and drinking the very best Croatia has to offer along the way.
