Croatia is known as the country of a thousand islands.
As avid traveler Sandra Prusina said you will get a real dose of traditional Croatian culture if you head out to any of the islands.
“The residents there are so happy to share their stories with you,” says Prusina, adding “if you are interested, ferries are available from a lot of the bigger cities on the coast and they can take you to those islands.”
Kornati is a group of islands that you should really try out if you want to truly escape.
“As you stay overnight you stay in a cottage, you get water from a well, you use solar electricity and you do all of your cooking and showering outdoors, so it is very much an authentic experience.”
As for hidden gems, Prusina said there is a can’t miss.
“I recommend Plitvice Lakes National Park, the water there is a perfect turquoise blue it also features a number of waterfalls, quite honestly you will never see anything like it.”
