A sun-filled Mediterranean coastline, ancient walled towns, quaint culture and a picture postcard-perfect scenery encapsulates Croatia’s one-of-a-kind atmosphere. While the country’s starring role in the widely popular American television series Game of Thrones has brought it back into the limelight, Croatia was never forgotten in the globetrotter community. Here, you can explore many UNESCO sites or hitch boat tours to quaint villages. Another interesting experience that awaits you in Croatia is staying at a castle, minus the spooky hallways, dangling chandeliers and an air of eerieness. Several castle hotels across Croatian destinations such as Dubrovnik, Maslinica, Zabok and Pučišća mostly retain original castle structures and/or transformed sections available for travellers to stay in. You, too, can revel in this experience by simply scrolling over and booking one of the best castle hotels in Croatia.
