1. Croatia is a country, which is extremely attractive for tourists. Especially attractive are various Croatian cities, such as Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, Dubrovnik, Poreč, Rovinj, or such natural places of interest as Plitvice Lakes National Park (Nacionalni park Plitvička jezera). If you want to save costs, it would be better to rent an apartment instead of staying in a hotel. However, Croatian landlords are hardly proficient in English and other West-European languages. Some of them can speak Italian (especially in Istria), but not everybody. Therefore, it is very important to be able to communicate with them in Croatian.
