Travel Croatia
If you’re thinking of traveling to Croatia but not sure if it’s the right place to go, you’re about to feel very encouraged to travel there this year! There are incredible secrets that await you when you travel through the rich history of this gorgeous Slavic country. The history of travel in Croatia is intertwined with the name “Hrvat”, a Slavic word meaning friend, sunny land, and owning much property. The landscape of Croatia is picturesque, containing thousands of islands with diverse landscapes along the crystal clear Adriatic Sea. There are sandy beaches perfect for travel, and also dare-devilish cliffs to encounter. The land of Croatia is so stunning that it has been fought over for years, back as far as the Roman Empire. Croatia is close to Venice, the trading and travel port of the world, and that means Croatia is like a treasure chest of riches from India and Arabia, and also a travel retreat for the elite throughout history; Croatia is where palaces sprang up, and villas and castles emerged at different points in history, constructed by ancient travelers.
The warm people of Croatia are believed to have traveled from the Ukraine to Croatia in the 7th century. Following the fall of the Eastern rule of the Roman Empire, Croatia became a Frankish Realm. Then in 925, the Kingdom of Croatia arose. But this didn’t last long enough, for in 1102 Hungary traveled there and took over their shores, and Croatia and Hungary were intertwined until the late date of 1868.
Croatia’s history is quite spirited and lively, and that makes it a great travel destination. At one point they joined the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, and became an independent puppet state during WWII. The Republic of Croatia finally became independent in 1991 and lastly the Croatian Democratic Community in 1995. It’s the perfect peaceful country now for travel.
As you can see, it’s been a long and bumpy history for Croatia, but historians know well that all this traveling and fighting over the shores of Croatia has to do with the exquisite beauty of its land. Civilizations for ages have been traveling to it and fighting for it, and in this great time of Croatian peace, travelers should see what all the fuss is about.
