More About Croatia

Croatia is a destination that has evolved in a spectacular way in recent years into a contemporary holiday destination offering luxury hotels and impressive coastlines, which combine perfectly with lots of things to see and do. This is a charming holiday destination suitable for beach-centred family holidays and it‘s also a perfect destination for couples and groups of friends.

Although Croatia offers a large selection of luxury holiday hot spots, one of the most famous is Dubrovnik; Dubrovnik is world-renowned for its reputation as the best preserved medieval walled city in the Mediterranean and is only one of three European cities to have been awarded World Heritage site of zero categories by UNESCO. It‘s steeped in history and as you walk around the harbour area, you will be transported back to the 13th century.

For those looking for breathtaking coastlines and unforgettable scenery, consider a visit to the northern region of Istria where you will find the pretty resort of Porec. Even further north you will find the resort of Savudrija positioned just across the bay from Slovenia.

When you venture inland, you‘ll be greeted by enchanting scenery including lush forests, mountain landscapes and gushing waterfalls. Nature lovers will find themselves right at home and it's a brilliant choice for keen hikers and adventurers who like paragliding, abseiling, and canoeing. Exploring by car is a popular choice as well, as it's easy to get about and see the highlights of the coastal resorts.

Croatia's most well-known islands include the fashionable and luxurious island of Hvar which is a must for the rich and famous and offers visitors a very attractive harbour front. Brac Island is a peaceful retreat where you will experience the true Croatian lifestyle.

Croatia is also a big hit with sailing enthusiasts as, through the massive 6278 km of Croatia's coastline, there are 1244 islands, islets, rocks, and reefs with thousands of wet and dry berths available all year.

Climate

Croatia can be divided into three Climatic regions. The lovely Adriatic coast enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate consisting of hot, dry and sunny weather during the summer and cool rainy weather in winter. The north has a continental climate of cold winters and hot summers and central Croatia has large forests with an alpine climate. The best time to visit Croatia is during the months of May through to the end of September when temperatures are usually 22°C and more. Temperatures during August have been known to top a sweltering 30°C so you may want to ensure the accommodation you choose has that all-important benefit of air conditioning.
