Croatia
Croatia is a fast-growing European travel destination, as Americans are discovering a destination that Europeans have visited for decades. It has some of the most popular beaches in Europe, with the numerous islands offshore considered to have the best beaches. Croatia is also known for its history and natural beauty, offering opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and mountain climbing at its many national parks such as Plitvice Lakes. It also offers the chance to learn about Croatian history by visiting its many walled cities (such as Dubrovnik, Trogir, and Korcula), Roman-era buildings (of which Diocletian's Palace is perhaps the best known), and religious buildings such as Zagreb Cathedral in the country's exquisite capital.
Montenegro
Montenegro boasts over 180 miles of coastline and over 120 distinct beaches. The historic towns, many of which have beautifully-preserved Old Towns, are charming and captivating all at once. While the country is very rural in parts, much of the area is federally protected in national parks. There are great opportunities for outdoor recreation here, and Montenegro is one of the best places in Europe for a hiking vacation. These parks are great places to experience the amazing panoramic views that help make Montenegro so famous.
