I visited Croatia many years ago and was stunned by it&#8217;s mindboggling beauty, particularly Dubrovnik. For Esurio it&#8217;s great to see that there has been a surge in the number of luxury hotels, boutique hotels and family friendly properties in the city of Dubrovnik, the stunning island of <a href=\"http://www.esuriotravel.co.uk/hotel-171-amfora-hvar-grand-beach-resort.htm\" title=\"Amfora Hotel Hvar, Croatia\">Hvar</a> and in Montenegro.  </em><em>The reason that we are so excited about sending our clients to Croatia is that it really is one of the Mediterraneans most beautiful, historic and unspoilt areas. Croatia boasts one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline that Europe has to offer, with almost 6,000 kilometres of shoreline and over 1,000 islands, reefs and cliffs. Over-exploitation of the coast has been avoided and there are still enough sparsely populated islands, quiet coves and stone-built fishing villages. This is the Mediterranean of years gone by - from the Istrian peninsula in the north along the glorious Dalmatian Coast down to Dubrovnik in the south.</p><p>Croatia has a beautiful rugged terrain rich with flora and fauna including fields of lavender, vines, olive trees, peach trees, laurel, cypresses, wild cats, bears and lynx. Today some 7.5% of Croatian territory is protected within the national park system or under other regional protection. The national parks include the archipelagos of Brijuni and Kornati, the island of Mljet, Paklenica Canyons, Mount Risnjak and Mount North Velebit, the Plitvice Lakes area and the Krka River area.</p><p>In our <a href=\"http://www.esuriotravel.co.uk/itinerary-14-pure-luxury.htm\" title=\"Tailormade Itinerary Croatia\">featured tailormade itinerary </a>for Croatia we have only included the very best hotels (in Suites with great views), activities, sights, transport and food, and at prices which are unbeatable elsewhere in Europe for the same experiences.
