Campsites on the Adriatic Coast: enjoy both nature and culture

There are many regions in Croatia where you can enjoy a fantastic holiday. The region of Istria is one of them, without a doubt. This peninsula, the largest in the Adriatic Sea, is known for its beautiful location on the coast, but also for its hilly interior. In Istria, you can easily combine a relaxed holiday in the sun on the coast with cultural trips to cities like Poreč and Rovinj. These picturesque places with monumental buildings, narrow streets and restaurants are a feast for the eyes. The three-thousand-year-old city of Pula, with its famous amphitheatre, is also worth a visit.

Campsites in Istria offer plenty to entertain the whole family, and you'll find pitches right on the coast, in a meadow, or under shady trees. All types of campers will find somewhere they'll love. Whether you stay in a tent, caravan, motor home or bungalow, everything's possible. Enjoy all the entertainment the campsite has to offer, or head out somewhere. There's no lack of choice at all, and they've thought of every member of the family.

The southern regions on the Adriatic Coast (such as Zadar or Dalmatia) are also nice places to be. The campsites are often walking distance from the sea, or even right on the beach, so you'll be able to take lots of beautiful pictures. Water sports enthusiasts won't find anywhere better than such a campsite. Sun worshippers will enjoy themselves too. The Mediterranean climate is good for most of the year. The countryside is untouched, and is home to a rich variety of animals.

Active and relaxed with the whole family

The Adriatic Sea is known for its high-quality bathing water. There's nothing better than a refreshing dip! You can also be as active as you want. Go surfing, sailing, water-skiing, diving, and fishing: there's nothing that's not possible.

As well as water and the countryside, there are also a few cities you should visit while you're in Croatia.

• Dubrovnik
  This port city, built in the 13th century, still has all the charm of the past. A walk through the narrow streets, attractive squares, and past monumental buildings will take you back in time. Tip: the amazing aquarium in the middle of the old walls of the city.
• Umag
  A picturesque city situated on a beautiful bay. The Marina is one of the most beautiful in the whole country. Enjoy the cultural richness and delicious food here.
