Istria
When we talk about naturism or nudism in Croatia, we cannot overlook Istria (Istra), the northwest part of Croatia. This small part of land has many resorts for nudist and naturists. Starting with Kanegra autocamp on the north to Kazela autocamp and wonderful Premantura beaches.
The history of Croatian naturism actually started on the island of Rab, but the main part of it's development started in Istria and had a huge influence over development of naturism in the whole world! In the year 1961 the first modern naturist center on the Adriatic was opened on the islet Koversada and this fact shocked the world. People were wondering how it's possible to open such a liberal place in Tito's socialist Yugoslavia? Well, the answer is quite simple: that country was much more liberal than public opinion says. Naturists from former Yugoslavia are very proud of the fact we started the world naturist boom in early 60's. In the year 1974 naturism was defined at INF's world congress in Koversada, at that time much bigger resort than at it's start in 1961.
Nowadays Istria is still a very "naked" peninsula, unless after breaking of former Yugoslavia "democrats" came on power in Croatia. Since that time Catholic Church constantly trying to abolish naturism in Croatia, but without significant success. So if you want to taste the feeling of "golden age" of naturism, visit Istria and follow the FKK marks (it's an acronym of the German word Freikörperkultur, Free body culture).
In my opinion you can find the most relevant information about Croatian naturism at Petya's Free World, a specialized internet book on naturism. Authors are experts of this subject and there's a lot of their stories about their adventures in Croatian FKK resorts with many original pictures, of course.

Hi there , I think you should know that the site you recommend http://www.petyasfreeworld.com/ does not work . They took immediate payment and then the web site did not work it has taken me 4 days to get sorted and they now say they will refund in two to three weeks.
this is not a something I would recommend.
Kind regards
Cliff
