CROATIA - Croatian Adriatic

Thanks to Anja for the beautiful Croatian Adriatic card.


"The Adriatic Sea is a part of the Mediterranean Sea. It is positioned between the eastern coastline of Italy and the coastline of countries of the Balkan Peninsula (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania).

The coastline and the islands all make up a continuous Mediterranean tourist destination spanning from the smallest island village and hidden cove to a national park or urban coastal town. Crowned with 1,244 islands, islets, rocks and reefs, and characterised by cleanliness and clearness, the Croatian Adriatic can claim to be among the top sailing destinations in the world."


About the stamp, is Mediterranean monk seal, one of the most endangered mammals who also lives in Adriatic. The stamp was issued in 2011 and comes in 20-stamp sheets and three 10-stamp booklets.
