Most people visit Croatia for its beautiful seaside, but some of its most breathtaking wonders aren’t located on the shores of the Adriatic Sea. If you’re in the mood to explore the natural beauty of this country, make sure to check out these three breathtaking lakes.

Plitvice Lakes

When someone mentions lakes in Croatia, this series of sixteen lakes arranged in cascading waterfalls is the first thing that comes to mind. Plitvice Lakes National Park is one of Croatia’s most popular tourist attractions, and it’s a perfect spot for passionate hikers and nature lovers.

Baćina Lakes

Baćina lakes consist of six linked lake formations, situated in the Dalmatia region, between Makarska and Dubrovnik. The lakes are connected with the sea, but what makes them so impressive is the picturesque landscape around them.

Lake Vrana

Croatia’s largest lake is also located in Dalmatia, in close proximity to Zadar. It’s one of Croatia’s protected areas due to its high biodiversity. This lake has outstanding ecological value and serves as a natural habitat for many species of birds.
