Croatia’s Top Events in 2015

Located to the east of the Iberian peninsula, Croatia is a small country that only recently has begun to assert itself in terms of providing excellent experiences for tourists. The little known country is, compared to larger, more well-known travel spots, relatively untouched, but this is changing, mainly due to the fact that the country has positioned itself in a manner that has allowed a huge number of foreign and local owned festivals and events to be run each year. 2015 is set to be just as busy as previous years, but which are the events you should be looking out for?

INmusic Festival- Zagreb- 22-24 June

One of the most eclectic festivals that take place in Croatia every year, INmusic Festival is s must for those that aren’t drawn to the other, more electronically-focused festivals on offer.
