We’ve not visited yet but are hoping to take a break in Dubrovnik later this year to enjoy the Old Town, restaurants and views out over the Adriatic Sea
The first thing I think about is the history followed by the beautiful coastline.

The first thing I think of about Croatia is the magnificent waterfalls.
I think of the many gorgeous beaches along it’s huge coastline.
I’d like to see the Plitvice Lakes National Park’ waterfalls.
The first thing that comes to mind about Croatia is just how little I know about it. Reading some of the comments below it sounds a wonderful holiday destination. I need to ind out more about it.
The stunning scenery, particularly the amazing waterfalls
I just think of the beautiful coastline.
Croatia is a beautiful country, with very helpful and friendly people
Croatia is on my bucket list of destinations. I’ve always wanted to go because it just looks simply stunning.
I’ve never been but my sister loved the Christmas Market x
It’s beautiful coast lines, citys, walls & people
The beautiful coastline
Croatia is a dreamy summer destination, yet its unspoiled nature, dynamic cultural scene and priceless architectural marvels can be enjoyed.
An old family bakery in Dubrovnik, I visited back before the pandemic. It had a cobbled roof, tiled floors and paintings of the coast on the walls. It was run by a lovely chap called Peter – I hope it’s still open.
Ah Croatia…the first thing I think about when I hear the name is the beautiful coastline and all of that lovely swimming! Thanks for this awesome giveaway 🙂
My daughter and me were lucky enough to visit beautiful Dubrovnic just before the pandemic .We did lots of walking !! Stunning scenery ,lovely welcoming locals .We hope to visit again at some point
Mmm, Croatia, we tried to go but couldn’t because of the pandemic! Exciting, that’s what springs to mind 🙂 But most of all for me besides the lovely looking coast line, I want to go to their national parks.
Dubrovnik – old city walls and lots of history to explore.
When I think of Croatia it brings to mind the red roofs of Dubrovnik and the cobbled alley ways within the walls of the City. Many thanks, a great prize to win.
When I think of Croatia I think of the many islands along the coast with their beautiful beaches. I’m hoping to go there soon
Beautiful places, and so close to the uk
DIOCLETIANS PALACE, truly magnificent
The beautiful scenery and rugged coastlines. It looks stunning!
Plum Brandy

Beautiful country and friendly people
The great football kit, followed by lovely cities.

I visited Zadar and was amazed by the ‘Sea Organ’. It really is a beautiful country and I would love to visit again. I would love to win this prize package to take me back there x
The history and beaches
The world’s biggest truffle ! My great neice was fascinated when she heard this fact – love to visit the beautiful beaches too
its scenic pebbled beaches and beautiful coastlines.
Maybe a bit surprisingly the truffles. On our first night in Croatia we had the most fantastic evening meal with lashings of truffle in a restaurant where you wouldn’t have expected such fabulous food & delicacies.new spent the rest of our holiday searching out truffles
The Plitvice Lakes –Suberb scenery to rival the coast and the islands, would love to return .
The Architecture
Croatia is one of the most underrated and beautiful countries in the world. The scenery and history makes your soul smile.
We had a Croatian friend join us for a meal a few weeks ago. He told us about the beautiful coastline, so that’s what I think of and would love to see for myself.
Send me on a trip x
I would dearly love to explore Dubrovnik with it’s fascinating heritage and culture, get off the tourist route and feast on traditional foods with the locals, discover traditional crafts and immerse myself in local life
In my experience, the people of Crotia are warm and welcoming.
Rijeka!
Up till reading this description I would say it was the magnificant scenery, but now the world’s biggest truffle will be in my mind for some time
The beautiful islands, historic towns and cities and rich cultural background.
I know nothing about Croatia but this is why I would really love to visit and find out for myself.
The islands and colour of the sea
I don’t know much about Croatia but it looks beautiful and everyone 8 know who has visited loves it
Amazing scenery
The first things that come to mind when I think of Croatia? Beautiful landscape, weather and people
That I had been in Croatia twice, on the way to Greece, but had no idea, because it was then part of Yugoslavia.
The beautiful reflective marble of Dubrovnik at night. Stunning.
Sunshine and the Sea
The Dalmatian Coast’s fabulous views and seafood.
When I think of Croatia I think of sailing into the harbour at Dubrovnic on a water taxi. We were staying in staying in Cavtat, a beautiful small town just across the water. I am going again in September although on a cruise this time so probably no time to revisit Cavtat.
would have to say the fantastic scenery
The beautiful scenery
One of the countries in my list of the top 5 countries I’d love to visit for those clear blue seas but most of all the friendly people.
Dubrovnik City Walls, over 30 years since I walked them, remember the views so vividly.
I think of Game of Thrones Kings Landing which was filmed in Dubrovnik
I have not been but it is on my bucket list. It looks beautiful !
the lovely lakes
Game of Thrones (and that I’d love to visit)
Sunshine, Eastern European promise
Haven’t been to Croatia, but I think of the blue seas and islands and the beautiful city of Dubrovnik. A Croatian cruise is on my bucket list!
Plitvice Lakes National Park
beautiful beaches, history, sunshine, stunning scenery
Kas chocolate – Bajadera is to die for
There is so much to love about Croatia but what impresses me the most is it’s positive vibes. Despite numerous wars and resulting devastation the people and country always emerge shining bright. The new and the old blend so well. The architecture, the beautiful coastline and the fabulous food ( not forgetting the wine ) also make it a fantastic place to visit and keep returning to.
When I think of Croatia, I think of my old school teacher, who got a cheap flight to Croatia many years ago and loved it so much that she now goes back every year! I’ve never been to Croatia myself but I’ve heard so much about it. The beaches and national parks look really inviting.
Wonderful beaches and old towns
It is a good central location for visiting not only the Croatian scenic sites, but also those of its many neighbours. The only downside right now, is that it is one of the most popular destinations, both to visit and live in, for Brits and when I go somewhere, I like to take in the authentic atmosphere of a place, not have it as somewhere that looks and sounds like home from home!
Beautiful turquoise sea and warm sandy beaches.
When I think of Croatia, I think of the beautiful scenery. Also, the 2018 World Cup men’s football semi-final that England lost to Croatia.
The beautiful scenery
I think about that beautiful city Game of Thrones filmed King’s Landing in.
Water taxi from Cavtat to Dubrovnik. Game of Thrones.
The beaches in sunshine
Luca Modric the football player
The scenery looks beautiful, I would love to visit Croatia.
I definitely think of the beautiful landscape. It is somewhere I would love to visit!
It’s history
Plitvice Lakes National Park, top of my travel wishlist with its 16+ waterfalls!
It’s amazingly successful national football team
I think of Kings Landing from Game of Thrones which was filmed there.
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Croatia is the beautifully clear, clean, fresh water of the Adriatic Sea! I just love to float in it for hours!
Then the clean beaches, with toilets, showers, changing huts & a café, along with sunbeds & parasols.
The beaches lined with pine forests & behind them, the hills in the distance.
In the evenings, dinner at a beach restaurant, with the freshest of grilled fish & seafood!
I absolutely LOVE Croatia! I have been 6 times now & really hope to be able to get there again this summer!
