If you might be thinking that waiting until June or July for your summer vacation may be too long this year, then why not plan an early summer holiday for 2026? In particular, a villa in Croatia in May is a perfect solution – you won't have too long to wait, weather conditions will be ideal (unless you prefer serious heat), and there are lots of things to love about Croatia in May. 

If you are interested in visiting Dubrovnik and enjoying the rich history and cosmopolitan delights of the city but you are also interested in taking in the incredible natural beauty of Croatia while on holiday in Dubrovnik-neretva, then we highly recommend a visit to the Mljet National Park.

The Mljet National Park is an expansive area of stunning protected natural beauty that encompasses the entire northwestern part of Mljet Island and is located just a stone’s throw from the city of Dubrovnik. Bordered by two saltwater lakes, Veliko and Malo Jezero (Large and Small Lake), and characterised by lush forests juxtaposed against the azure sea, deep blue lakes, and endless skies, its breathtaking beauty, tranquillity, and opportunities for adventure make it an ideal destination for a day trip on vacation in Dubrovnik-neretva. 

When one arrives at the pretty and historic town of Pazin, they will find a peaceful and unpretentious place. It is not, perhaps, the first choice for some when it comes to holiday destinations as it does not boast endless attractions and is not the most glamorous place in the world. However, those looking for an authentic Istrian experience, people who enjoy being a little off the beaten path, those who want to avoid overly touristy destinations, and anyone looking for a perfect base from which to explore the wider region will find that a villa in Pazin is an ideal option for a perfect getaway in Istria.

The administrative capital and known as the, “heart of Istria,” Pazin is visually captivating and has been capturing the hearts and imaginations of those who visit or hear of the place for some time. In fact, Pazin is a great example of the so-called, "Green Istria", the area inland, away from the famous coast, where the region is lush and dramatic and ripe for exploration and adventure. This part of Istria is known for craggy mountains, forests, valleys, rivers, and caves. It is a place to enjoy all sorts of outdoor pursuits from zip-lining to hiking, mountain-biking to exploring caves.
