Curator’s statement
For those who love the beach and also love Europe, Croatia is the perfect combination. It's one of those destinations that I was truly sad to leave. Croatia is a wonderful country that offers a little bit of everything from adventure activities, to rest and relaxation, to natural beauty, history and delicious cuisine. I fell in love with Croatia and absolutely can't wait to go back again!
