Croatia

The Mediterranean as it once was – this is a spot-on slogan that says most of what needs to be said about the Balkans' favorite destination. Nature is surprisingly untouched and it also holds the European record for hours of sunshine. In Croatia, hikers and cyclists explore a large archipelago and wild mountains, and relax in charming small coastal communities afterwards. The hiking trips and cycling trips range from Istria in the north to Dalmatia in the south.
