Renowned for its enviable position on the Adriatic, crystal-clear sea, fresh seafood and aromatic pine forests, Croatia is a country that rewards the curious. Here, we’ve listed some of the fun facts about\u00a0Croatia that prove it isn’t just a sun-drenched paradise, but a fascinating destination with several claims to fame.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1. Most people know the Croats invented the neck-tie, but who knew they also invented the ball-point pen in 1906?<\/p>\n

2. Dalmatian dogs, though cultivated mostly in England, take their name from the Dalmatian coastline of Croatia.<\/p>\n

3. One of only three in the word, the amphitheatre in Pula, Istria, is a word-class destination.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. Croatia saved the dome of St Peter’s in Rome from caving in, or, at least, a Croatian by the name of Rudjer Boskovic did. Placing five iron bands within its cupola, Michelangelo’s masterpieces were saved from collapsing.<\/p>\n

5. DNA tests prove that Zinfandel, one of California’s most famous grape varieties, can in fact be traced back to Croatia.<\/p>\n

6. Croatian money is named after a rodent. Known as the \u201cKuna\u201d, another word for the \u201cmarten\u201d (which looks like a ferret), the currency harks back to the days when the animal’s luxury fur operated as a medium of exchange.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

7. Croatia created the world’s biggest truffle. Almost the size of a football at 1.3 kilograms and worth $5000 in 1999, Diana, the dog that found it is bound to have been well rewarded by her owner, Giancarlo Zigante.<\/p>\n

8. Almost 10 per cent of land in Croatia is made up by\u00a0eight national parks, 11 nature parks and two nature reserves.<\/p>\n

9. Get your sunglasses out because Croatia receives roughly 2,715 hours of sunshine per year. To put that in perspective, people who live in Sydney, Australia, get 2,592.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

10. Lord Byron called the old town of Dubrovnik the \u201cPearl of the Adriatic\u201d, a nickname that’s stuck ever since.<\/p>\n

If these facts have piqued your curiosity and you’d like to see blue skies, forested hills or the waterfalls of the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia, why not book here for a memorable trip.<\/p>\n
