2. Feel the fairytale vibe at Castle Trakošćan
Take a hand in hand stroll round the beautiful grounds of Castle Trakošćan, 80 km from the city of Zagreb. This stunning thirteenth-century building was once a grand aristocratic home but after falling into disrepair is now restored and open to the public.
Surrounded by lush pine forests and a lake, with its turrets and white walls it’s a picture perfect backdrop for a day in the country. Take a picnic for a memorable, al fresco afternoon.

3. Send the day on your own secluded beach
Croatia’s coastline is dotted with more than 1,000 islands - only 48 of them inhabited - and they are a great place to enjoy getting away from the crowds.
Cres is a great place to start - teeming with wildlife it’s home to a stunning and often deserted beach that could be yours for the day.
Head to the medieval town of Lubenice, then make the 45 minutes’ walk downhill, flanked by trees and plants.
Pack your swim stuff and a good read and enjoy the most tranquil beach day.
