2025 Croatia Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#summervacay My Croatian island-hopping day, initially hyped for the Blue Cave, took an unexpected turn but became incredibly serene. Our yacht sped across the deep blue Adriatic, with me enjoying the peaceful co-pilot's view while others dozed or cheered. We docked at Komiža, Vis Island, a charming Mamma Mia! filming spot with incredibly clear, glass-like water. Instead of exploring deep into town, we found an open-air cafe by the shore. Just sitting there, watching the sea, people, and lazy cats and dogs, was the most comfortable form of travel – doing nothing, just soaking in the breeze. As we left, a lovely moment occurred: a tourist asked my friend to take a photo. When he learned we were from Shanghai, he looked at the picture and simply said "Professional" with a warm smile, a perfect end to our tranquil visit. #Croatia #IslandHopping #Komiža #VisIsland #MammaMia #YachtLife #TravelCroatia #SeasideSerenity #ShanghaiTravelers

We started our morning at a seaside café in Hvar Town ☕🌊, sipping rich Croatian coffee while boats gently swayed in the harbor. The air smelled like lavender and salt, and the sunlight hit the stone buildings in the softest gold. After breakfast, we climbed up to Fortica Španjola 🏰, the 16th-century fortress perched above town. The view was unreal — red-tiled roofs below us, the Pakleni islands scattered like emeralds across the Adriatic. It was peaceful that early, with just the breeze and a few sleepy seagulls. Definitely a photo spot you don’t want to miss 📸🌿. 📍 Hvar Town Port: Riva, 21450 Hvar 📍 Fortica Španjola: Ul. Biskupa Jurja Dubokovića 80, 21450 Hvar 🛶 Hidden Coves & Floating in Blue Around midday, we rented a small boat and cruised around the Pakleni Islands 🛥️💙 — and wow, it felt like we had our own private paradise. We dropped anchor in a quiet cove near Palmizana, where the water was so clear it felt like we were floating in glass. We swam, read books on the boat deck, and ate grilled calamari at a beachside shack while our toes sank into warm sand 🐚🍋. There were no crowds, just sun, sea, and time standing still. It was exactly the kind of day we had hoped for. 📍 Palmizana Beach: Pakleni Islands, 21450 Hvar 📍 Boat rentals available at Hvar Marina: Riva 5, 21450 Hvar 🌇 Sunset Dinner & Island Glow That evening, we returned to Hvar Town for dinner at Dalmatino 🍷🐟, a warm, family-run restaurant tucked into a cobbled side street. We started with truffle pasta and had fresh-caught sea bass grilled over olive wood — paired with a crisp white wine from the island itself. Everything was so thoughtful, from the welcome drink to the homemade limoncello they served us at the end. After dinner, we wandered back to the harbor, gelato in hand 🍨, watching the yachts light up as the sun dipped behind the hills. Hvar shimmered like something out of a dream. 📍 Dalmatino Restaurant: Sveti Marak 1, 21450 Hvar 📍 Hvar Waterfront Promenade: Obala, 21450 Hvar #summervacay #vacation #travel

#0yentravelnovember If you want to see the old town of Croatia, go here!! [Dubrovnik] The cityscape, with its white walls and orange roofs against the azure backdrop of the Adriatic Sea, is so beautiful that it is also called the "Pearl of the Adriatic". In 1979, its historical value was recognized and it was registered as a World Heritage Site. However, it suffered severe damage from the Serbo-Croatian civil war that began in 1991, and in the same year it was registered as a World Heritage Site in Danger (World Heritage Sites in Danger). #TriptoCroatia #TriptoEurope
