BEST HIDDEN GEMS IN EUROPE 2024:
Conde Nast Traveler just published one of the most anticipated lists of the year called " Best Hidden Gems in Europe 2024". According to European Best Destinations the list ranks best secret destinations & hidden spots in Europe far from the crowds, beautiful villages and places where Europe's natural beauty can be experienced. This year, Spain has much to celebrate as the first two towns on the list are located in Spain. In third place, following the two Spanish towns is Primosten, Croatia, just an hour drive from well known Split, Croatia. There are 18 total destinations on the list, in addition to Spain and Croatia: Iceland, Slovakia, Portugal, France, Germany and UK.
On top of the Best Hidden gems in Europe 2024 list, Conde Nast Traveler readers rank their favorite countries around the world, with Europe dominating last year's list (2023). For the last 36 years Conde Nast Traveler list continues to capture the travel experiences that its readers love best. In 2023 Croatia was on the list of Reader's Choice Awards winners for the WORLD'S BEST COUNTRIES to travel to as #14. WOW, go Croatia!
Croatia is rapidly gaining in popularity, thanks to increased direct flights, cruises and Game of Thrones filming. Cities like Dubrovnik and Split are definitely feeling the growing pains of mass tourism and crowds like Venice or Amsterdam but there are plenty of hidden gems in Croatia that reward exploration and some travel companies like LUX CROATIA TRAVEL offer travelers custom trip planning away from the crowds. Whether exploring family farm restaurants, sampling local olive oils in Istria, sailing off the coastline of Trogir, road tripping through vineyards and oyster farms on the Dalmatian Coast, or sailing among Kornati Islands dotted with oak forests, centuries old churches and fortified villages, if you really seek a unique experience while exploring Croatia, connect with companies that will cater to your custom needs. To the ones that have not yet been to Croatia hopefully you feel inspired to visit it and enjoy the art of what locals refer to FJAKA-the sweet feeling of doing absolutely nothing and just relaxing!
Voting is still open for 2024 Conde Nast Traveler choice list but no doubt that Croatia will continue being one of the world's most desired and beautiful places to visit among travelers! Come and see why and check it out for yourself!
