Pick a destination
- Zagreb
- Split
- Dubrovnik
- Hvar
- Brac
Best time to visit
The best time to visit is during the summer season. It gets really crowded during July and August so June or September would be a better option. The temperatures during this period are ideal for boating and swimming in the blue waters around the islands. During April and May gets cooler but still warm being also nice to visit and focus in other activities such as hiking and kayaking. From November to March gets really cold so it would be better to focus on Zagreb or Split when they’re at their quietest and most relaxed season of the year.
