Croatia is a Central European and Mediterranean country, bordering
Slovenia to the west, Hungary to the north, Serbia to the east and
Bosnia and Herzegovina to the south; the country also has a long
maritime border with Italy in the Adriatic Sea. These borders total
2,028 km altogether.
Croatia has an unusual shape (similar to a croissant!) that is unlike
any other country in the world. This unusual shape is as a result of
five centuries of expansion by the Ottoman (Turkish) empire towards
Central Europe. (Although having said this, the Turks never actually
conquered the country; they did however control some of Croatia’s
neighbours such as Serbia and Bosnia and Hercegovina.)
The climate is Mediterranean along the Adriatic coast, meaning warm dry
summers and mild winters, with 2,600 hours of sunlight on average yearly
– it is one of the sunniest coastlines in Europe! The interior of the
country has a continental climate with hot summers and cold, snowy
winters.
