Part 2/10:
The beauty of Croatia extends beyond its coastline. The country is divided into five historical regions: Central Croatia, Slavonia, Istria, Dalmatia, and the vibrant capital Zagreb. Each area showcases unique traditions, flavors, and dialects, providing visitors with the experience of exploring multiple countries in one.
In addition to its stunning landscapes, Croatia boasts an impressive wine production of over 1,000 varieties, thriving in regions like Istria and Dalmatia. But Croatia is not solely for food lovers and beachgoers. With 8 national parks and 11 nature parks, approximately 10% of its territory is protected, and it proudly hosts 10 UNESCO World Heritage Sites — a remarkable achievement for a nation of its size.
