OVERVIEW
Whether you’re looking for calm, relaxed days on the beach, a unique cultural adventure, or an action-packed honeymoon, Croatia is the destination for you. Oozing with romance, this beautiful country is famous for its long stretches of crystal clear coastline, its turquoise blue sea, natural landscapes and exotic waterfalls, stunning national parks, fascinating museums and gorgeous upmarket hotels.
Wherever you choose as your honeymoon destination in Croatia, memories of the delicious food will stay with you forever. Croatian cuisine is heavily influenced by Italian and Greek flavours; fresh fish is a highlight in many restaurants and cafes. If you or your partner is not a fan of fish, there are plenty of other options: beautiful green salads, home-made pizza and pasta, tenderly cooked steaks and rich traditional beef stews are just some of the dishes on offer.
For a relaxing romantic getaway, visit Dubrovnik, a city famous for its medieval city walls and its awe-inspiring architecture. Enjoy stunning views from the 14th century Fort Minieta, the highest point on the city’s fortified walls, then take in the beautiful baroque arches and fascinating artefacts of the Rector’s Palace. You can even take a bird’s eye view of the beautiful city on a cable car ride then book a wine tour to end the day.
However, for a cultural tour for two, head to Split on the Eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. Enjoy breakfast at one of the local cafés on the Riva Promenade – savour the excellent coffee and choose how you’ll spend each day. Swim or while away the time under perfect blue skies on one of Split’s wonderful beaches like Kastelet beach or Bacvice Beach. Explore Diocletian’s Palace together – this breath-taking structure was built as a retreat for the Roman Emperor Diocletian in the fourth century A.D, and is one of the best-preserved historic sites in the world.
For a party paradise, visit Hvar Island for open-air bars and energetic clubs. Check out some of the adventure activities on offer – from cycling and snorkelling to skydiving and kayaking. If you need a day to recharge, hire a boat and visit the nearby Pakleni Archipelago for a calm walk in idyllic natural surroundings.
Whatever you’re looking for, Croatia is the perfect place to fulfil your honeymoon dreams.
