Apartments in Croatia

Croatia is a small country situated in south east part of European continent. It has been a home for Croatian nation since the 7. st. when they moved to these parts that have been inhabited by the old tribes called the Illyrians. Through rough history, filled with wars and tragedies, finally in the early 90s of the last century, Croatia became independent country recognized by all important international organizations.

As it is situated, with a very long coast line, on the Adriatic sea, Croatia has always been dedicated to life on the sea, using all the advantages that a warm Mediterranean clime can offer. After a long years of using sea as a source of food, at the beginning of the past century Croatia has started to develop tourism, mainly in the northern parts of the coast, and specially in the small town called Opatija. During the last century, as a part of Yugoslavia, Croatia started to build many infrastructural facilities that created possibilities to engage into tourism business in a proper manner. During that periods, almost every town in Croatia got an hotel and other facilities that can satisfy guest's needs. Besides hotels, many towns built huge hotel resorts with camps that could hold large number of guests.

One of the most popular ways to host tourists has always been private accommodation facilities. As they saw a possibility to get into tourism business, many people have started to redesign their homes to make them appropriate for hosting tourists. As the time has showed, this was a great business idea that lives in Croatia today more than ever. It is estimated that there are over 50 000 private accommodation facilities in Croatia and we can honesty say that this is the most popular way of hosting guests in Croatia.
