Croatia has gorgeous rocky shorelines lapped by warm azure sea, but there is more to this European favourite, and certain things are not to be missed.

Now, you can experience all the wonders that Croatia has to offer for yourself with Eurolink Tours.

Visit Cilipi for the Sunday market and folk dancing extravaganza, or take an exhilarating ride across to Mljet Island, which has lakes and another unique island within the island itself.

On Monday night, check out the Moreske sword dancing in Korcula.

For the best Venetian architecture stay in Trogir, but don't forget to visit the Roman holiday home of Diocletian, also known as Split. Detour for the day into Plitvice Lakes, which is the most beautiful walk traversing 16 waterfalls and turquoise lakes.

Slovenia is the icing on the cake – clean green and traditional – and the Julian Alps National Park is an absolute stunner. You can stay in Lake Bled to walk the lake and nearby gorges.

Eat lamb under the bell or cheesy strukli, drizzle truffle oil on your salad and sample the honey schnapps.
