Croatia has in recent years become one of Europe’s most popular
summer holiday destinations and it’s easy to see why. With
Mediterranean good looks and a heart to match, Croatia is a
destination that's difficult to beat. In recent years, resorts
have sprung up all along the Adriatic Coast, the most popular of
which include Babin Kuk, Cavtat and Dubrovnik.
Istria, on the Adriatic Coast boasts a warm Mediterranean
climate, with fine beaches that lend themselves to a range of
active watersports including sailing, diving and snorkelling.
Further ashore, over one thousand islands line the coast,
waiting to be discovered by boat. The islands of Brac, Hvar, Vis
and Korcula boast some of the best beaches in Croatia.
Croatia’s climate is regarded as ‘mixed’, with continental type
weather in the north and east and a ‘semi-highland’ system in
the south-central region. The coastal resorts benefit from warm,
dry summers and rainy winters. In terms of sunshine, the islands
enjoy the lion’s share, with Hvar soaking up 2715 hours of
golden sunlight every year. Summer temperatures vary from the
mid twenties to thirties along the Adriatic Coast, where good
weather is guaranteed. The warmest months are July and August
and rain is rare.
Croatia is not just popular during the wonderfully sun-drenched
summer months. The cities of Dubrovnik, Split and Zagreb have
over the last number of years become firm favourites for weekend
city breaks. Croatia has made a remarkable recovery since the
turbulent years of conflict in the early 1990s. Today, Croatia’s
capital Zagreb stands tall as a vibrant city, characterised by
elegant 19th century architecture and a trendy café culture.
Meanwhile, the medieval walled city of Dubrovnik offers
impressive historical attractions, breath-taking natural beauty
and a lively events calendar, the highlight of which is the
Dubrovnik Film Festival and the Dubrovnik Summer Festival. On
the Dalmatian Coast, the city of Split is well worth a visit, if
only to spend a few hours exploring the ruins of its famous
palace.
Wherever your journey through Croatia takes you, you’ll find
there’s always something exciting to see or do. In terms of
history, hospitality and culture, Croatia has it all. In Croatia
