With a long coastline, rivers and waterfalls in beautiful national parks, Croatia is an ideal destination for an active and sporty holiday. If the coast offers the opportunity for many water activities, Croatia from the interior is a paradise for good walkers. Because a hike in Croatia can take many forms. You can organize walks between lakes and waterfalls in Plivitce National Park, explore canyons in Paklenika, go in search of the lynx in Risnjak National Park, walk the trails at Premužić to the young bear refuge, ride an ATV for a trek in Istria or Mount Velebit, ride horses in national park ranches, etc.
On the coast, especially in Dalmatia, there are also plenty of opportunities for swimming, sea kayaking and sailing. With the nickname "the sea of a thousand islands", Croatia does not usurp its reputation as a paradise for pleasure boating and offers many converted marinas and it is possible to rent sailing boats in most of the ports on the coast. And underwater, too, the show is on. With such clear water, abundant marine life and a rather pleasant temperature, the Adriatic Sea has become one of Europe's most popular diving spots. All along the coast, divers can discover wrecks from the Second World War or the Venetian invasion, caves in the underwater foothills of the mountain, kilometres of rocks or sandy bottoms. It is also possible to dive in national parks, such as Mljet or the Kornati Archipelago. This archipelago, off the coast of Central Dalmatia, has no less than 147 islands, islets and reefs and forms a natural, wild and preserved site. A national park, listed in 1980, which allows many activities on land and at sea. And it further justifies Croatia's reputation as a sporting destination.
