Croatia has been tipped as the top destination to visit in 2010.
That's according to tour operator Hidden Croatia who has tipped the country to be one of this year's biggest success stories, set to increase in popularity far greater than most other European destinations this summer.
With a non-Euro currency and high quality, affordable accommodation, Croatia is slowly starting to become an appealing destination for holiday-makers looking for something a little different.
Alan Brown from Hidden Croatia commented: "Standards have improved beyond recognition and Croatia offers really good value. Hotels have been reconstructed and refurbished, there's a much greater emphasis on high quality food and new, cosmopolitan restaurants have sprung up."
The country is full of European influences from Roman, Venetian, Italian and Austro - Hungarian cultures, all making their presence felt within the architecture and identity of the different cities and regions.
Boasting 1778km of coastline, Croatia is home to some of Europe's best beaches and coves, with average temperatures of 28 degrees C in the summer months.
The cities of Dalmatia, Zagreb and Dubrovnik each offer something different, from vibrant nightlife to stunning Baroque architecture winding its way through the cobbled streets, Croatia will no doubt impress even the most sceptical of visitors.
"Croatia has become highly fashionable," said Mr Brown. "Alongside quality, value and accessibility Croatia offers immense variety, from the historical sights of Dubrovnik and Korcula, island hopping between Croatia's thousand or so islands and its beautiful clear sea with more blue flag beaches per kilometre than anywhere else in the world."
UK visitors will also find the exchange rate in their favour as the non-Euro currency, the Kuna, means visitors can further enjoy the high quality on offer for an exceptionally good value.
