Tourist Oscar Goes to Croatian Islands
Readers of the Spanish edition of the Conde Nast Traveler magazine
have now confirmed what many tourists already know from
experience. In the extremely competitive category of the most
beautiful island in the world, they have given the award to the
Croatian islands of the Adriatic. The recognition is all the more impressive
when one considers that the Greek archipelago, Corsica,
Puerto Rico and Mauritius were in the running.
Altogether, Croatia boasts 1,185 islands, around 50 of which are
inhabited. Out of the eight Croatian national parks, three are made
up of islands: Brijuni (Brioni), Kornati and Mljet, all of which are on
account of their extraordinary beauty and natural heritage under
the highest level of protection. Alongside the valuable natural and
cultural heritage, the island tradition and rich tourist offer is extremely
interesting, making a stay on the islands particularly attractive
for tourists from all around the world, which has, obviously,
also been recognised by the readers of the Spanish Conde Nast
Traveler.
