Croatia Welcomes British Tourists with New Manchester Flights and Stunning Coastal Escapes

While many European destinations are imposing tourism restrictions, Croatia is embracing British travelers with open arms. In 2024, Croatia recorded a 9% increase in UK visitor arrivals, and with new direct flights launching from Manchester Airport in 2025, that number is expected to rise even further.

Those looking for nature and adventure can explore Brijuni National Park, a breathtaking archipelago of islands just off the coast. Protected as a national park by the Croatian Ministry of Tourism, Brijuni is home to lush landscapes, ancient ruins, and diverse wildlife.

According to the Croatian Ministry of Tourism and Sports, Croatia remains one of the top 10 most Googled travel destinations globally. Its blend of history, nature, and affordability continues to attract UK visitors, with Pula now emerging as a must-visit destination.

With direct Manchester-Pula flights, historic sites, Venetian-style towns, and Adriatic beach escapes, Croatia is set to be a top summer destination for British travelers in 2025.
