Everything from Croatia
Croatia is a Southeastern European nation on the Adriatic Sea, bordered by Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. Its geography includes a long, indented coastline with over 1,000 islands, the Dinaric Alps, and fertile plains in Slavonia. Historically, Croatia was part of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary, later under Habsburg and Ottoman influence, and eventually part of Yugoslavia until independence in 1991.
Today, Croatia has about 3.8 million inhabitants. The capital, Zagreb, is the political and cultural centre, while coastal cities like Split and Dubrovnik are UNESCO-listed and popular tourist destinations. Croatia is a member of the European Union and the Eurozone. It is known for its natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and Mediterranean lifestyle.
