Today's Republic of Croatia is a cresent-shaped country with its northern arm stretching from the border with Serbia in the east to the border with Italy in the west before turning south down the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Between seven and eight million tourists visited Croatia in 2002, most attracted by the Mediterranean atmosphere of old towns Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik, and the number has been steadily growing since peace returned to the region at the end of 1995.
