10 Magical Places to Swim in Croatia
4. Hvar
Hvar, a town on an island of the same name, is the place where beach and party meet. The combination of pristine water and thriving nightlife make Hvar town the perfect place to delight in island life at its best.
During the sunshine hours, grab a beach lounge chair and a cocktail and enjoy the sun and sea in style.
5. Pakleni Islands
Shoulder to shoulder with Hvar, the Pakleni Islands offer plenty of dreamy nooks and crannies to discover along their rocky shores. The best way to explore is to rent a boat on Hvar, get a group of friends together, throw in a few beverages of your choice and cruise around the edges of the islands, jumping in anywhere that looks good.
Needless to say, given the achingly blue waters, this can take all day.
Choosing the perfect destination for a trip with kids is no easy feat. These are the best family vacations in the world, with plenty for everyone to enjoy.
6. Krka
If, in the unlikely event that you tire of the coast and hunger for something a little different, head to Krka. Krka National Park is unlike anywhere else in Croatia, except for the larger and more famous Plitvice Lakes National Park further north.
Krka stands alone thanks to one crucial difference though: At Krka, visitors are able to swim in the lakes, an activity which is strictly forbidden at Plitvice. With calm pools of turquoise water and breathtaking falls, Krka is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular places to swim in Croatia — possibly all of Europe.
