Notes to Editors: Hidden Croatia is an independent specialist travel company offering a personal and dedicated service that is focused on offering clients tours to lesser known locations. Some clients require a more �tailor-made� itinerary � perhaps sailing for a week followed by kayaking in the mountains, and culminating in a couple of nights experiencing the ambience of a city. Hidden Croatia offers two brochures. The core Hidden Croatia brochure focuses on travel arrangements dedicated exclusively to one of Europe�s best kept secrets. It is a colour coded brochure which focuses on the Southern and Central Dalmatia areas, and Istria. It is possible to view a number of Hidden Croatia�s sailing holidays in the latter part of the core brochure, but a separate brochure also exists with its sister company, Sail Croatia. Sail Croatia offers a number of itineraries along 1500 miles of beautiful coastline.
