Croatia
Croatia's Dalmatian Coast is one of Europe's most beautiful shorelines — Dubrovnik's medieval walls rising from the Adriatic, the Roman ruins of Split where people still live and shop inside Diocletian's Palace, and the lavender-scented island of Hvar where Venetian history meets turquoise sea.
