HIGHLIGHTS OF CROATIA

The Croatian national territory totals 56.594 km2 with 31.479 km2 of coastal waters for sailing, swimming and diving.

Croatia occupies the largest area of the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea which, as a part of the Mediterranean Sea, penetrates deep into the European continent. The narrow Dinara Mountain Range separates the country’s Mediterranean region from its central European continental section, which spans from the easterly edges of the Alps in the north west to the shores of the Danube in the East, encompassing the southern part of the fertile Pannonian lowlands.

Croatia is a Central European and Mediterranean country, bordering Slovenia in the west, Hungary in the north, Serbia in the east and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the south; the country also has a long maritime border with Italy in the Adriatic Sea.

The Croatian currency is the Kuna  which is divided into 100 lipas. (The word ‘Kuna’ means marten, a weasel-like animal, lipa is herb.)

You can exchange money at any of the country’s banks, bureaux de change, post offices and at almost all travel agents, hotels and campsites.

The official language is Croatian, which is written in the Latin script.
