Croatia Travel Agent Advisor

Walls of Dubrovnik
Walls of Dubrovnik

Many travelers do not know that Croatia, once known as Yugoslavia, is very safe to travel. The country's Byzantine art, delicious foods, and picturesque towns makes for a compelling European escape and holiday. That is why I love to share information, as a travel agent, for this crescent-shaped country in Eastern Europe. Sitting in the northwest portion of the Balkan Peninsula, Croatia is geographically diverse. The capital of Zagreb spans the north while the popular city of Dubrovnik overlooks the Adriatic Sea in southern Croatia. I like to suggest a trip to Dubrovnik, as the city is both picturesque and interesting historically and architecturally. Dubrovnik, which has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, regularly receives vast numbers of visitors, many of whom are day-trippers or cruise-goers. If you go during the summer, it can be difficult to find accommodations. That is why, as a travel agent advisor, I recommend travel times, such as the spring or fall, when the city is less congested. Durbrovnik's history, just like Croatia's, has been defined by a struggle - one where the people have perpetually worked toward remaining independent. The former name of the city was Ragusa, which translates, in English, to "rock." The name still appears on museums and flags in the walled city. Another good city to visit in Split, the ideal hub for exploring the Dalmatian Islands. If you head toward this destination, you will want to direct your travels to the islands' beaches, including their rustic restaurants that you will find further inland. Both sun worshippers and windsurfers love this part of Croatia, known for its Golden Cape - a well-known shingle beach. Shingle beaches are rare and are made up of pebbles, stones, and other small rocks instead of sand. A trip to the capital of Zagreb will lead you to some interesting Austro-Hungarian buildings, including the city's Gothic Cathedral and St. Mark's Church, built in the 1200s. The pedestrian-friendly Tkalciceva Street is home to outdoor cafes while you will find the central square in Lower Town. Would you like to learn more about a trip to Croatia? If so, I am your go-to travel agent for this fascinating country. Give me a call or email me anytime for planning your ideal holiday.

Perfect resort
Kori is the best agent to work with. Her knowledge in airlines and travel destinations is wonderful. I gave her a few spots in Mexico I would like to visit , and she had information sent to me within the next day.
I love her enthusiasm and professionalism.

Best trip!
We were traveling to Europe and incorporated a few days in Iceland on the way and had a wonderful time, great for the kids to see the puffins, the horses, and the lagoon.
