CROATIA
Croatia has incredible national parks, islands, coastline and medieval cities. The medieval cities take you back in time with their stone walls and tiled red roofs. Walk along the wall in Dubrovnik for views of the old city or stand beside a 78 meter tall waterfall in Plitvice Lakes National Park. Visit one of the many islands for a chance to relax before you go back to another busy week of work in the office.
