Croatia, until relatively recently, was probably most regarded by the international travel community at large as a summer holiday destination with a dreamy coastline. Certainly, this is true: Croatia is, understandably, very famous and perhaps best-known for its lovely beaches and as an ideal spot for sun holidays. However, there is so much more to it as a vacation destination and, increasingly, it seems that these nuances are becoming common knowledge. So, if you have been considering a vacation rental in Croatia then these are some of the special traits and alluring attractions that you can expect to encounter.

Croatia, while she has much more to offer in addition, has long been most famous among tourists for her incredible coastline and seaside resorts. We always suggest heading inland too, to explore the green heart of the country, the amazing vineyards, the pretty towns, the lush landscapes, but there is no denying that the coastal areas are immensely charming. This has only been further highlighted this year by news that the seawater in Croatia has been officially declared the cleanest in Europe. So, if you are a serious water baby and want to spend a vacation swimming, sailing, surfing, kayaking, scuba-diving, or just generally hanging out by and in the sea then this news only underscores a villa in Croatia as a perfect choice!

When is the best time to go to Croatia?


This is the sort of question that is asked of our colleagues often and, unfortunately, there is not really a singular answer – it depends! What do you want from your vacation? What is your budget? How hot do you like it to be during your holiday? These sorts of follow-up questions are all important to decide when you, specifically, should book your villa in Croatia. 


Of course, travelling to Croatia during the summer months is ideal for serious sun-worshippers and those who want to really enjoy a seaside break. It is also the only option for some who want to travel with kids who are in school during the school year or who can only book their vacation during the summer months themselves.
