My name is Melodi I am 29 years old and I am working as Customer Care Manager for Sailing Place Ltd. I would like to share a bit of my story with you, I decided to move to Croatia. Many people ask: &#8220;Why did you move?&#8221; After living for 20 years abroad I have decided to come back to my homeland. For me there was only one question \u201cWhy not?\u201d So let me now explain myself with a short list of my favourites about Croatia, that will make you book the next flight to Croatia! Read carefully and in the end I guarantee your only question will be \u201cWhy not?!\u201d<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n1. THE BREATHTAKING NATURE<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/sailingplace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Sailing-Place-presents-Palmizana.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-235 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/sailingplace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Sailing-Place-presents-Palmizana.jpg\" alt=\"sailing Croatia yachts nature\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sailingplace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Sailing-Place-presents-Palmizana.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sailingplace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Sailing-Place-presents-Palmizana-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>Beautiful Adriatic coastline, stunning beaches, turquoise crystal clear waters, mountainous ranges and national parks will leave you breathless. The Croatian coast is considered to be one of the most beautiful in whole Europe, with over thousand islands and islets. I recommend to visit one of the National Parks like Plitvice Lakes and there will be no doubt of you coming back to this unique country!<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n2.
