The endless beaches and deep blue sea of Croatia have long been favorites among Europeans on holiday, and a secret untold amongst American travelers. Miles of coastline, dozens of Roman ruins, medieval castle,charming people, rich culture and natural beauty await.
The cuisine is derived from a mix of cultures and ingredients with Hungarian, Viennese and Turkish throughout the mainland, and Greek, Roman, French and Italian along the coast. Knows the “Cuisine of Regions,” Croatian fare is highly regarded and completely unique.
Croatia is included on many Med cruise itineraries, or you can take a tour of the country as well.
Croatia’s diverse cuisine reflects its remarkable cultural history. Our advisors’ guide to Discovering Local Food Through Travel celebrates culinary diversity across European destinations.
Why Europe Remains the World’s Most Rewarding Travel Destination
After more than 35 years of sending clients to Europe, our advisors at Atlas Travel Center can tell you something the guidebooks don’t always say clearly: every European country rewards slow travel. The travelers who come home raving aren’t the ones who checked twelve cities off a list — they’re the ones who lingered in a market, had a conversation with a local winemaker, or watched the light change over a harbor at sunset. Europe is best savored, not rushed.
That said, there are real logistics to master — and that’s where our expertise makes a meaningful difference. Rail passes versus point-to-point tickets, which airports have the smoothest connections, how far in advance to book the most popular museums and restaurants, which neighborhoods to stay in versus which to avoid — these are the details our agents have spent decades learning firsthand. Many on our team have visited the destinations they book, which means the advice you get from Atlas is grounded in real experience, not just brochure copy.
