CROATIAN TOURIST DESTINATIONS

Dalmatia (Dalmacija) is region in southern part of Croatia that stretches from the island of Pag near Zadar on the west all the way to small Prevlaka peninsula at the gate of Boka Kotorska Bay near Dubrovnik on the east. According to historical records, Illyrian tribe Dalmatae inhabited the area, and that is how the region got its name Dalmatia. In ancient times, several rulers were trying to rule the area; Greek who controlled some of the islands, Illyrians, Romans who established Dalmatian Province that lasted until Western Roman Empire collapsed in the 5th century.

There was Gothic rule for a short time till 6th century, after which the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine Empire) regained control. When Croatian tribes arrived and populated the region in 7th century, they progressively gained control over the region, although Venetians were controlling some of the littoral for a long time. In the meanwhile, there was Croatian Kingdom, later also united with Hugarian Kingdom, and then Habsburg Monarchy at the time of Ottoman invasion. Although different nations tried to rule the region over the period of time, Croatian people remained steadfast, and today Dalmatia is part of Republic of Croatia.
