WHERE TO STAY
Abbotts Travel and Prestige Holidays offer the very best ways to see this beautiful country - they recommend the following, selected by a British expert resident in Croatia:
4-STAR SUPERIOR PARK PLAZA HISTRIA, PULA
The rooms and the spa of this excellent hotel are of five-star standard. Designer glamorous, this is where the stars stay who perform at the Roman amphitheatre: think Tom Jones, Jose Carreras, Sting, Vanessa Mae... and the biggest indoor pool in Croatia. Visit the Roman ruins, the fantastic Brijuni islands or escape for a day’s sunbathing on wild Cape Kamenjak. From £549 per person if booked before 15 March 2014. Based on two sharing a Superior double room (Marina Wing) on a bed and breakfast basis, departing on 13 May 2014 for 7 nights, including return flights with Ryanair from Stansted to Pula and shared transfers.
TOP: Roman Amphitheatre, Pula. BOTTOM: Sandy Bay on the island of Rab. There is a very wide choice of accommodation from clean, simple apartments in Dubrovnik to luxurious five star hotels with spas. More five star hotels, together with some stylish three and four-star properties (many right by the beach), can be found on the island of Hvar. There are also private villas that were once family palaces and even a lighthouse overlooking a beach with direct access! In addition, beautiful self-catering apartments have helped to make the most exclusive spot in Croatia affordable for all budgets. Add to this a great selection of cruises in simple, casual style or on more stylish motor yachts. Other options include multi-centre trips, walking holidays, escorted tours and self-drive itineraries.
