Croatia
Golden Rule is "Closer to Nature!" In Croatia is followed by all, but each – its own way. Someone enjoys stunning country environment: clean sea and beaches, where incongruous parasols – pines rise and coastal waters are transparent to tens of meters. Someone chooses the healing power of soil and water, in Croatia there are 20 mineral springs and a field of unique therapeutic oil. But the most radical citizens, accustomed to understand everything literally, come here to cast off the hypocritical veil of civilization and fully merge with nature at one of the country's many nude beaches.
Capital of Croatia Zagreb is the largest city in the country, but by European standards it is quite compact. In Zagreb, especially in its historic center, medieval architecture is perfectly preserved. There are many beautiful palaces and churches, green parks and small cafes with terraces. Explore the city on foot is best, first of all, it is small, and secondly, to pass through the narrow streets in the center can be quite problematic.
Croatia is divided into three resorts. Istria is known for its scenic views of the Adriatic Sea, with clean water and proximity to Italy (just 3.5 hours by sea to Venice). The beaches in Istria are not the most convenient: pebbles and concrete platforms, but it is pretty cool even in summer season. Lovers of medieval romance is worth a trip to Rovinj, Pula on the island of Krk, youth Medulin fit very well (one of the few places in the region, where there are sandy beaches and diving), fans of quiet rest and elderly people waiting Lovran and wishing to improve their health worth a visit Opatija.
On the territory of Croatia there are more than 20 thermal springs, which are built around the spa center and entire resorts. Most of them are concentrated in the north and east of the country, mainly near the capital.
People come here to treat diseases of the respiratory and nervous systems, musculoskeletal system, diseases of the cardiovascular system, as well as to recover from injuries and complex operations.
Croatia is the only field of medical oil - naftalan in Europe. In Ivanic-Grad there is eponymous clinic "Naftalan", which specializes in the treatment of skin diseases and is considered as one of the best at the world.
