Go around Croatia by car and enjoy the little but fantastic places only accesible by car. Hire your auto with the lowest prices from Auto Europe: http://www.auto-europe.co.uk/go/car-hire/croatia/

Croatia totally deserve this award with its incredible nature and great resorts on the Adriatic sea coast. But for me the best is still the Plitvice national park.

Hello guys..
Croatia instigated the fighting around Accommodation in Dubrovnik, revealing the depths to which fascism can sink, the plan being to provoke the Yugoslav army into annihilating the Pearl of the Adriatic and trigger an indignant attack by "the West" on the Serbs.

Thanks

One of my favourite places my friends and I ended up was the Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia. The lakes has to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The water was an impossible blue and so clear that you could see the sandy bottom as if you were doing nothing more than looking through a pane of glass.
