One of my favorite countries I have ever visited is Croatia! It has some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world. I flew into Zagreb and would only recommend spending one day in the capital. It is not that impressive of a capital city. I highly recommend flying to Dubrovnik and staying 2-3 days. Then taking a bus to Split. The scenery from the bus of the Dalmatian coast will be unforgettable!

Croatia is one of those places where the contrasting colours of it's blue waters, green flora, and terracotta roofs all meet together in a snapshot, and it's enough to make your eyes water. Vast mountain ranges form a stunning backdrop to the towns sprinkled along the Adriatic Coast. Winding roads lead inland to small mountain villages, glistening lakes and the country's capital Zagreb.

Croatia is famous for its natural beauty, including national parks, stunning landscapes, crystal-clear seas, and, of course, incredible food. From cheese, olives, and olive oil to fish, impeccable wine, cured meat, and the famous Istrian truffles, Croatia is a must-visit destination for every foodie.
Having spent most of my life in Croatia before moving to London, I enjoy returning home to savour traditional Croatian food made vegan and explore restaurants across the country.
The guide also includes vegan and vegetarian-friendly stays around the country.
