41 Photos Of Sunsets In Croatia That’ll Spark Your Wanderlust
It’s well known that Croatia is the home of the world’s best sunset. Well, that is at least according to Alfred Hitchcock, who in 1964 was staying in room 204 of the now closed Hotel Zagreb along the Riva in Zadar and claimed:
The sunset of Zadar is the world’s most beautiful and incomparably better than in Key West, Florida.
Although there are so many fabulous spots to watch the sun make its way slowly behind the horizon each day in Croatia, I and many others agree. Basking in the warm glow of the orange skies is one hell of a way to enjoy the end of a great day sightseeing while on vacation in Croatia. To prove it, here are photos of the best sunsets in Croatia, all of which will spark your wanderlust for this magical place.
Special thanks to my Facebook and Twitter fans who helped bring you these photos. When I asked if anyone had a sunset photo they wanted to share or knew of some great photos, we had an incredible response – enjoy.
