Journalist enjoys a 'Croatian revelation'

People looking for a new travel experience this year have been urged to take a Croatia holiday to see what the vibrant and surprising country has to offer.

Writing for the Daily Mail, journalist Hunter Davies described his recent visit to the European country as a "Croatian revelation".

Those who would like to experience the destination for themselves can take a Croatia sailing holiday and visit some of its most picturesque and exciting locations, such as Split and Dubrovnik.

Mr Davies stayed just outside the coastal town of Rovinj during his Croatia holiday, which is reportedly thought to be one of the most beautiful destinations in the rural Istria region.

The writer pointed out that there are "scores" of islands located off the coast of Croatia, which offer a variety of picturesque landscapes to explore.

Travellers planning Croatia sailing breaks this year can visit islands such as Krk towards the north of the country, which boasts everything from rocky wildernesses to quaint villages and promenades.
