Croatia's Adriatic Sea mainland coast is 1,777.3 kilometres (1,104.4 mi) long, while its 1,246 islands and islets encompass a further 4,058 kilometres (2,522 mi) of coastlineâthe most indented coastline in the Mediterranean. ![]() The Dinaric Alps contain the highest mountain in Croatiaâ≁,831-metre (6,007 ft) Dinaraâas well as all other mountains in Croatia higher than 1,500 metres (4,900 ft). The greatest concentration of ground at relatively high elevations is found in the Lika and Gorski Kotar areas in the Dinaric Alps, but high areas are found in all regions of Croatia to some extent. The plains are interspersed with horst and graben structures, believed to have broken the PliocenePannonian Sea's surface as islands. Most of the lowlands are found in the northern regions, especially in Slavonia, itself a part of the Pannonian Basin plain. Lowlands make up the bulk of Croatia, with elevations of less than 200 metres (660 ft) above sea level recorded in 53.42% of the country. The Pannonian Basin and the Dinaric Alps, along with the Adriatic Basin, represent major geomorphological parts of Croatia.
