Have you always longed for a holiday away from the summer heat and the vibrant atmosphere of the Mediterranean in an idyllic, green and hilly environment with ancient woodlands, vineyards and rivers? Do you favour the tranquil and soothing atmosphere of the mainland, where romantic medieval towns, summer homes and manors dot the countryside? In that case, you should set out to the north of Zagreb and enjoy the blessings offered by Central Croatia.
Shaped by the force of the mighty rivers Drava, Danube, Sava and Ilova, Slavonia is a mythical region that for centuries has guarded its treasures.

And wherever you find yourself, you are going to be met with a warm welcome and friendship so typical of Slavonia and its people.
