You can swim in the pools below the falls, making it a fabulous way to cool off in Croatia\u2019s hot summers. You can easily visit\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sofiaadventures.com\/visit-krka-national-park-from-split-day-trip\/\">Krka from Split<\/a>\u00a0or you can spend longer in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Plitvice Lakes is home to many beautiful waterfalls. While individually they aren\u2019t as well-known, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen a picture of these multiple waterfalls from above where you can see many of them at once. This is even one of Croatia\u2019s ten UNESCO World Heritage Sites and one of its two Natural Unesco Sites (the other is the Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians).<\/p>\n<p>Strbacki Buk is less well known than Krka or the falls of Plitvice, but it is over eighty feet tall and simply stunning. This is a photographer\u2019s dream, since the cascades drop at different levels, giving the waterfall multiple looks depending on which angle you photograph it from.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1.jpg\" alt=\"What is Croatia famous for\" class=\"wp-image-6610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1.jpg\" alt=\"What is Croatia famous for\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-6610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-20-1-520x390.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><figcaption>Skradinski Buk waterfall in Krka National Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Red_Tourism\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Red_Tourism\"><\/span>#3 Red Tourism<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As a part of the former Yugoslavia, there are towering Spomeniks in Croatia that Red Tourists love to come to find. Red Tourism is travel to communist, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>ist, or former communist countries, usually by people from non-communist countries to learn about the legacy of these governments.<\/p>\n<p>Communist tours and monuments are great ways to learn about what life was like in Yugoslavia. Start with the Podgaric Monument, which is one of the most stunning examples of this particular form of Yugoslav public art.<\/p>\n<p>Even traditionally beautiful tourist spots like Dubrovnik offer opportunities for Red Tourism. Here you can tour the Red History Museum, opened in the former Carbon Graphite\u2019s Product Factory, which is Croatia\u2019s first interactive museum dedicated to educating visitors about what life was like during the communist era.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_Balkan_Wars\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_Balkan_Wars\"><\/span>#4 The Balkan Wars<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yugoslavia did not end with a whimper, it ended with a bang. The Balkan Wars that followed Yugoslavia\u2019s collapse in the 1990s were particularly devastating, resulting in ethnic cleansing and genocide. While many focus on Serbia\u2019s role in violence against Bosnia, Croatia does not have clean hands.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s done a little too good of a job whitewashing this period from its history, but you only have to visit neighboring Bosnia to see Croatia\u2019s violent legacy from this dark time period.\u00a0<br \/>Of course, Croatians suffered terribly as well, and they have their own horror stories to tell.<br \/>For those interested in learning more about this time period, Vuvokar is the best place to visit. This town on Croatia\u2019s eastern border with Serbia was one of the first places for fighting to break out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_World_Cup_Football\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_World_Cup_Football\"><\/span>#5 World Cup Football<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On a lighter and more recent note, Croatia made it all the way to the World Cup Finals in 2018. Though they ultimately lost to France, they were the pride of the Balkans and showed the world exactly how good and how passionate Croatia is when it comes to the world\u2019s most popular sport.<\/p>\n<p>This might be the country\u2019s most famous World Cup <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earance, but the Football tradition here is strong. They have actually competed in the World Cup five times as an independent country. Their first appearance was in 1998 when they were third! Of course, before this Croatians competed as part of the larger Yugoslav team.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Beautiful_Islands\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Beautiful_Islands\"><\/span>#6 Beautiful Islands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Greek islands might be more famous, but Croatia\u2019s Adriatic islands are just as (if not more) beautiful. From Pag to Hvar, each one is a little perfect gem sitting in the middle of the Adriatic Sea.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most popular ways to experience Croat\u2019s islands is by going on a sailing adventure and island-hopping across the best ones in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Different islands have different reputations. There are islands famous for nightlife and partying, while others are known as more family-friendly places. Still, others have a more romantic vibe.<\/p>\n<p>There are over twelve hundred islands in Croatia, and almost fifty of them are inhabited. So make sure you research ahead of time and pick out the right island (or a mix of islands) to suit the kind of trip you want to take!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/croatia.jpg\" alt=\"This Croatia is known for\" class=\"wp-image-18780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/croatia.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/croatia-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/croatia-768x411.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/croatia.jpg\" alt=\"This Croatia is known for\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-18780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/croatia.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/croatia-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/croatia-768x411.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><figcaption>Beautiful island of Brac in Croatia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Ancient_Roman_Ruins\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Ancient_Roman_Ruins\"><\/span>#7 Ancient Roman Ruins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you love visiting Ancient Roman ruins then you\u2019ll love visiting Croatia!

The other three are Istria, Croatia (before it was adopted as the name for the whole country), and Slavonia.<\/p>\n<p>While you might associate the dog breed Dalmatians with England, Firefighters, and Walt Disney, they actually first came from historic Dalmatia on the Adriatic coast.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_The_Necktie\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_The_Necktie\"><\/span>#9 The Necktie<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The necktie originated at the cravat, which is a French mispronounce of the word Croat. French soldiers first spotted Croatian mercenaries wearing them during the seventeenth century. When they brought the tradition back to France, they attempted to name them after their originators but didn\u2019t quite get the name right.<\/p>\n<p>Cravats are wider than modern neckties and they are an extremely popular Croatian souvenir, especially in Zagreb, the country\u2019s charming inland capital.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Croatian_Honey\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Croatian_Honey\"><\/span>#10 Croatian Honey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Balkans are famous for their honey.

Zagreb\u2019s Christmas Market has been awarded the title of \u201cBest European Christmas Market\u201d three years in a row!<\/p>\n<p>They truly turn the city into a winter wonderland. You can find an ice skating rink, amazing light displays, traditional food and drink, and holiday performances.<\/p>\n<p>While Zagreb\u2019s gets the most attention, Dubrovnik and Split also have great Christmas Markets worth seeing! If you spend a week in December Christmas Market hopping, you won\u2019t be sorry!<\/p>\n<p>There are also great winter festivals in Croatia in January and February.
