Croatia Holidays - Travel Guide

Note from the editor: The Linden Travel Group of which www.worldwide-family-hotels.com is a valued member pay me to find families value-for-money holidays. Although I did find a few hotels and apartments in Croatia that offered free child places these were only on the higher priced hotels. Please take a look at our Holidays-2.co.uk website to see a selection of holidays and hotels in Croatia.  James the Ed

Croatian beachAfter more than a decade of civil and ethnic unrest, Croatia is once again emerging as an attractive tourist destination. With its magnificent coastline, 1,185 islands, islets and reefs, Roman ruins and picturesque medieval villages, it is fast becoming a rival to the magical Greek islands - alluring for lovers of fun, sun, local colour, great food and a little history. The most prominent feature of Croatia's tourist industry is its Dalmatian coastline, which is indented with rocky cliffs, peninsulas and small inlets. Numerous good quality hotels and marinas have been resurrected or constructed in the past few years, and the Croatian province is once again beginning to enjoy a tourist boom reminiscent of its heyday in the 1930s.

Things to see and do in Croatia

If you are looking for theme & water parks then Croatia isn't for you. There is however a host of activities to keep most family's happy and full details are always available at your hotel. When you become tired of the beach and the pool book a few coach trips to see what Croatia really has on offer. There are also a host of boat trips available from most resorts and this can be a great way to see some of Croatia's hidden coastal treasures.

 
 
     
  Free child places available on holidays & accommodationFree child places - Holidays, Hotels & Apartments. Our dynamic search does all the hard work in sourcing holidays with free child places. It searches from self catering holidays right through to all inclusive holidays with free child places and only returns the best deal found. All you need to do is enter the childrens ages on the last day of the holiday and the database will show the best deal available. If your party includes teenagers above 11 then you must enter these as adults as the airline will charge an adult fare. If your family includes infants then excluded them in the search (i.e. don't class them as a child) but do call us before booking so that we can ensure that a cot is available. Not sure! then play safe and give us a call as you'll find us very family friendly. Read more....
