Croatia's main attraction is the spectacular 5000kms of coastline and beaches between contintental Croatia and the islands. The islands are an important heritage for Croatia with over a 1000 under their jurisdiction, but only about 100 of them are inhabited. The most popular tourist spots are the coast of Dalmatia and the Istria Peninsula.
