Croatia: Rising as Europe's Hottest “New” Escape

July 5, 2012 - PRLog -- With translucent turquoise water of the Adriatic Sea, ideal summer temperatures, lush national parks, and preserved historic cities, Croatia is gaining popularity as a vacation destination. Many tourists, including the rich and famous, are leaving the Mediterranean shores of the Amalfi Coast and the French Riviera in awe of Croatia’s “new” old towns.

Yacht charter companies are noting an increase in itineraries to the Adriatic Coastline, and in particular, to Croatia. The numerous secluded islands, quiet coves, and medieval towns offer an alluring alternative to the posh Mediterranean scene, according to Worldwide Boat, yacht charter specialists

Boat Croatia (http://www.boatcroatia.com), a newly-formed division of Worldwide Boat Yacht Charter Specialists (http://www.worldwideboat.com), offers luxury yacht charters to the Croatia coastline. Clients can enjoy the old and the new with first-class service on crewed motor yachts, sailing boats, catamarans, gulets, and even megayachts. Their clientele enjoy personal service and assistance not only with itineraries, but also planning day-to-day activities through the many sight-seeing possibilities and water-related activities in Croatia.

A vacation to Croatia becomes immensely personal and unique for each charter guest, simply “because of the large number of islands and the short distances between them, which almost no other cruising ground in the world can boast.” Most itineraries center in the following areas:

- Istria and Kvarner: In the northern section of Croatia, Istria is a large peninsula, while Kvarner includes a narrow coastal strip, four Rivieras, a mountainous inland, and many popular islands.
North Dalmatia: This region includes the coastline from the Kvarner Riviera to the city of Split. The Kornati Islands are in North Dalmatia.
Central Dalmatia: The central area is comprised of Split, the UNESCO-protected Trogir, as well as the islands of Brac, Hvar, and Vis.
- Southern Dalmatia: Considered an exclusive destination, this region consists of Dubrovnik, Krocula, Peljesac, Island Mljet, and Lastovo.
