There is nothing better in this world than a beautiful sunset. The shades of red, pink, orange and purple that light up the sky as the sun begins to set and fall below the horizon will delight anyone who looks up to them.
A sunset has the power to calm our thoughts and make us stop and think about the beauty that surrounds us. To inspire you to explore all that Mother Nature can create, these are some of the tourist destinations in Croatia with the most beautiful sunsets.
Interesting fact about sunsets: bright, red, clear colors at night mean that the air is clear in the west and the weather will be fine in the morning. A red sky in the morning means that the good weather with high pressure has already passed. This means that low pressure weather (storms) will come to the east.
