Look at a map of Croatia and the first thing you'll probably notice is its long, tangled coastline of peninsulas, inlets, islands and waterways. Zoom in and you'll find a variety of seaside landscapes, from rugged rock outcrops like this one to calm (but often crowded) beaches. Add it all together and there's more than 5,700 kilometres of beautiful Adriatic Sea shoreline to explore within this bustling Balkan nation.
