Croatia is a country located at the intersection of Central Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Balkans. It looks like a crescent moon on the map. Croatia has a long coastline, the longest among the Balkan countries, with beautiful scenery along the way; it has over 1185 islands, earning it the nickname 'Country of a Thousand Islands'. The most famous is Plitvice Lakes, where 16 natural lakes are connected, with a large amount of calcium carbonate limestone deposits in the lakes, presenting green, gray, blue, etc., forming an ultimate natural landscape.

Speaking of Croatia, one must first mention Dubrovnik, also known as 'King's Landing' in the famous 'Game of Thrones'. Even if you're not a fan of the show, it's more customary to call it King's Landing, as it seems to show the grandeur of this ancient city.
Arrived 8am in the morning and get to enjoy the park before the crowd arrive . Recommended to stay the hotel beside the park which is less than 10 minutes walk
Plitvice Lakes National Park was the first national park in Croatia and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979. The park is divided into two districts, the Upper Lakes and Lower Lakes, and consists of 16 interconnected lakes and waterfalls of various sizes. The scenery is breathtaking. 🖼️‼️Please check the weather conditions before your visit. Sometimes part of Upper Lake will close due to poor weather conditions‼️
Lake Pritovize National Park in the suburbs of Zagreb, Croatia, about two and a half hours by bus. It is one of Croatia's leading attractions where you can enjoy nature surrounded by emerald green lakes, 々 waterfalls and abundant forests, as well as a World Heritage Site. When I visited in early October, the autumn leaves season was in season, and the contrast of the lake and the forest was very beautiful. After the busy season, the crowds calmed down and the admission fees were lower, so I think it's the best season. There are shops, cafes and restaurants at key points in the park, so you don't have to worry about eating or taking a break. Please note that ferries that travel through each port may not survive once with a capacity of 100 people.
