The Croatian Adriatic Sea
The Croatian Adriatic Sea has for centuries been considered the most beautiful sea in the world. In the Adriatic Sea there are over 7.000 sorts of flora and fauna species. In the Croatian Adriatic there are many different types of algae with therapeutic value. There also live several endangered animal species. The largest part of the Adriatic Sea actually belongs to Croatia, although it is Italy that possesses more of the coastal space on the Adriatic and it is more populated than the Croatian Adriatic, but still through time the Croatian seaside has become one of the most developed and most popular destinations in the tourist industry.
The Croatian Seaside
The Croatian part of the Adriatic is the cleanest sea in Europe and it is unlike other seas in the world absolutely non-polluted. This is why the Adriatic has such a beautiful transparency and blue turquoise colour. The Croatian littoral covers the eastern part of the Adriatic and including the water and the coast line it is some 6.000 square kilometres big. There are some 1300 islands in Croatian sea waters, 67 of them are inhabited and about 15 are inhabited occasionally or during certain seasons.
These Islands, just like the rest of the Croatian Coast, have a very rich and beautiful history, great national heritage and abundant gifts of nature. This is why the Croatian Adriatic is so popular for tourists. Many places, islands and national parks were declared national and world heritage by the UNESCO.
