Croatia

By Julia Brennan

Croatia has lots of interesting places to visit. One of those places are the Plitvice lakes. The upper lakes alone consist of 12 different lakes! There are many different trails to walk on, and one of the most popular trails takes you to the Great Falls. The Great Fall is a waterfall with water falling vertically for 25 feet.

If you are looking for a more relaxing and tropical side of Croatia, then you should go to the beautiful beaches there. Though the beaches there may not have much sand,they do have beautiful shells, rocks, and beautiful waters. A perfect location for vacations, because there are lots of activities for the whole family there.

Croatia also has amazing foods! Seafood is a big part of their cuisine because they live to close to oceans and beaches. Scampi Buzara (shrimp in it’s shell with tomato sauce, garlic, wine, shallots, and parsley) is a dish they tend to make often, because it is fairly easy. Another food they have is kind of like their  own version of crepes. Palacinke is a think pancake stuffed with sweet fillings and it is commonly eaten for breakfast. If you want to try some traditional Croatian food, you can go to a restaurant called Pelegrini.

Overall, if you’re looking for an amazing vacation spot, Croatia is where you should go!
