Honeymoon in Croatia

Choosing a honeymoon destination can often be cause for discomposure, but there are a lot of options for the honeymooning couple on a budget, especially if you start to plan early enough.
A beautiful country for your honeymoon in Europe can be Croatia. There are amazing places like Dubrovnik, Makarska Riviera, numerous islands.
Your honeymoon in Croatia will reveal to you a country full of historic cities, a lively cultural life, beautiful beaches and picturesque landscapes. There are fascinating Medieval and Roman remains to be explored, alongside modern cafés, restaurants, bars, museums and boutiques in the cities.

Croatia is one of the most magical and wonderful honeymoon destinations, where hundreds of recently married couples choose to spend their honeymoon, because of all the amazing things it offers and that often go unnoticed to the general eye.
The capital Zagreb has countless attractions, including the Museum Mimara, which is very famous and one of the best art galleries in Europe. The most impressive sight in Zagreb is definitely the neo-gothic St Stephen’s Cathedral, which incorporates some elements of the original Medieval structure.
If you would like to have a relaxed time in picturesque surroundings, choose

Dubrovnik or the town of Rovinj in the northwest of the country. Rovinj is surrounded by wooded hills and has an archipelago of 13 verdant islands and its excellent aquarium is over a century old. The town is dominated by its Baroque cathedral you should visit.
Also very nice: Split, on the Adriatic coast. It is an exuberant city with numerous attractions and a huge offer of activities. The massive Diocletian Palace is one of the finest Roman ruins in the world.

Founded over 13 centuries ago, Dubrovnik is enclosed by intact city walls which are probably the finest in the world. The highlight of the city is definitely a visit to the old town and a walk on the walls, which are completely walkable. The old town, called “Stari Grad” on Croatian, features cobbled streets, marble-paved squares, musems, churches, palaces and convents all built with light-coloured stone. And it is a short ferry trip from Dubrovnik to Lokrum Island, a beautiful national park. You can also make
wonderful Honeymoon Mediterranean Cruises, starting in Dubrovnik.

What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Honeymoon Cruises?
The advantages of honeymoon cruises are that every couple is there for the same thing: an incredible and unforgettable time with their new spouse. There are some wonderful trips starting on the beautiful Adriatic coast of Dubrovnik for example. Since you all aim for the same memorable time you will find that your privacy will be respected, the activities will be mainly focused on couples, and you will have personnel attending for every of your needs to ensure a perfect honeymoon. The downside of it is that you are unavoidably all still on the same ship together and will never completely gain private time except when you are inside your cabin – where most newlyweds spend a lot of their time anyway. You might also have to eat meals in groups, which will leave you little room to have an intimate dinner. Of course, you have the possibility to eat in a seperated restaurant, where you can have this intimate dinner, but you`ll have to pay for this, because it is not a part of the all-inclusive service. And you should keep in mind though, you might dock at a couple of different locales and this will give you some ample time to explore alone, maybe even finding a secluded spot on a sunny beach.

Conclusion
Croatia is facing the future confident that the many attractions of the country will seduce visitors far and wide. It is certainly an unforgettable place to spend your honeymoon.
