Dalmatia, a tourist region of four counties, is the central part of the Adriatic coast that stretches, with its gentle green highlands hinterland and rivers and its thousand islands, from the North Velebit mountain range down to the southernmost border of Croatia south of Dubrovnik. Their diversity, the natural wealth, the national parks and the exceptional wealth of monuments of culture and history and its historical heritage make it a leader in Croatian tourism whose traditions in these parts has a history of more than 160 years. It is an area that tells the story of Croatian history better than any book could. [opširnije]

The northern part of the Dalmatian coast with its three millennium old and largest urban centre in the city of Zadar, is also called the "door to the national parks" because its unique geographical position literally opens to five national parks that can all be reached from it on a one-day trip. Paklenica, the Krka Falls, the Plitvica Lakes, North Velebit and the Kornati islands each for itself offer beauties that will leave you breathless. The canyons of the Grand and Small Paklenica, with its series of waterfalls and cliffs, ideal for free climbing, are a challenge to all nature lovers and hikers. [opširnije]

The most protected harbour of the central Adriatic, near the mouth of the Krka River as it enters the sea belongs to the city of Šibenik, the centre of a tourist region with two national parks and a green hinterland that naturally blends into the coastline, the wealth of culture and historical heritage and the beauties of the local waters with their lacework of as many as 240 larger and smaller islands and rocks. Of them all only Žirje, Zlarin, Prvić, Kaprije, Krapanj and Murter are inhabited, the rest are not. [opširnije]

The arts, heritage and lifestyle, that's central Dalmatia in a nutshell. What makes it a place not to miss, for fun, rest and relaxation has a 1700-year-old tradition!
As far back as the year 305, the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who had practically the entire known world at his feet, chose the centre of Dalmatia as the place to build the country house in which he would enjoy the last ten years of his life. Today the former Imperial Palace is the settled historical core of Split, Croatia's second largest city and the eternally young, noisy and merry centre of the region's tourism and economy that sets the rhythm, style and cheer for its wider surroundings, the smaller tourist destinations, the islands off its shores and the green hinterland heart of Dalmatia.

In the deep south of the Croatian coastline is the Dubrovnik region whose centre, the city of Dubrovnik, in Croatia and across the world bears the title of the "Pearl of the Adriatic". The harmony of the centuries-old buildings and the walls girdling the city are like a fairy tale apparition created for enjoyment. Why visit this part of Croatia? Because anyone who does not is poorer for a visit to a part of heaven on earth and the "second best place in the world" - since the first is always the place you hail from. [opširnije]
