Join the Young Professionals in International Affairs (YPIA) for a reception at the Embassy of Croatia! Simultaneously located along the beautiful beaches of the Adriatic Sea and the soaring Alps, Croatia is a popular European tourist destination. It is famed for its Roman ruins, national parks, and thousands of islands. Did you know you can even take an UBER boat between islands? More recently, Croatia has become well-known for its starring role in Game of Thrones, as the filming location for Kings Landing.

We invite you to discover for yourself why Croatian food and wine tours have become "must-do" items on any Croatian trip and why the US and Croatian have enjoyed strong relations for decades.

Traditional Croatian dishes, catered by Ambar , the first modern, international Balkan cuisine restaurant in DC,

, A variety of Croatian red and white wines,
