Experience Croatia's hot spots and lesser-known destinations—from central Croatia's castles to the Dalamatian Coast's beaches and islands to mouth-watering food markets and small boutiques along the way. Special sidebars tell you how to study the Croatian language, take in a soccer match, study falconry near Sibenek, and volunteer to help the endangered griffon falcons on the island of Cres, among other experiences. Insider tips provided by an array of National Geographic experts—photographers, writers, and grantees who have spent significant time in Croatia—direct you to favorite restaurants, festivals, and other information that only locals know. Guided walks and drives and an extensive Travelwise section with hotels, restaurants, and tour recommendations hand-picked by the author are also included.
 
Aimed at active travelers who want authentic, enriching, cultural experiences and expert advice from a trustworthy source, National Geographic Travelers provide ways for people to experience a place rather than just visit, and give the true feel of each destination not easily found online.
RUDOLF ABRAHAM is an award-winning travel writer and photographer whose love of travel and remote places has taken him from the Adriatic to eastern Turkey, Central Asia to Patagonia.

His other books include Walking in Croatia, The Mountains of Montenegro, and Torres del Paine: A Trekker's Guide.
