Beautiful Croatia continues to be one of the top destinations for summer travel. It’s the perfect place, if you’re looking for a fairytale escape with good food, wine, adventure and authentic culture –
Croatia has it all.
I have a HUGE soft spot for Croatia and have returned many times since I first ventured out to Dubrovnik in the summer of 2012 – the alluring mix of crystal clear turquoise water, orange roof tops and Mediterranean looks completely charmed me! I now travel every summer and visit someplace new whether it’s a fabulous island, national park or pretty heritage town, I just know I will LOVE it!
There are many stunning locations and sights that I could endlessly describe from each one of those trips. But it’s better that I show you in pretty images. So here are 20 of the best to inspire you to visit delightful Croatia.

WHAT TO EXPECT | CROATIA AT A GLANCE
WEATHER | Croatia enjoys one of the warmest climates and best sunsets in the Mediterranean! May, June and September are perfect months to visit for those long sunny days, 30 degree temperatures and fewer tourists!
NATIONAL PARKS | There’s an impressive 444 National Parks, some with natural waterfalls and clear swimming water – the iconic one is Plitvice Lakes. The nature and scenery is simply stunning!
ISLANDS | Croatia has a very long sparkly turquoise coastline with thousands of islands and natural bays to discover. The most beautiful islands to stay are Hvar, Brac and Korcula.
SWIMMING | The swimming bays will be stone and pebble, so do as the locals do and wear swimming shoes or jump off small ladders or rocks straight into the sea!
HERITAGE TOWNS | The history of Croatia is quite amazing, it’s one of Europe’s hot spots for national heritage and 2.000 year old buildings. The regions of Dubrovnik, Split and Pula have some of the best preserved sites to visit including palaces and ancient roman ruins.
ACCOMMODATION | Boutiques and private apartments are plentiful in and around the old towns. Airbnb and Booking.com are the most popular booking choices for private accommodation.
FOOD AND DRINK | Home grown wine, Mediterranean flare, seafood, truffles and Italian influences. All the delicious combinations with good hospitality, gelato and coffee!
CURRENCY | The currency in Croatia is the Croatian Kuna, around 1GBP to 8.2HRK
LANGUAGE | The main language is Croatian, however English is widely spoke in popular tourist areas.
COSTS | Prime locations such as sunset bars and restaurants within the walls of popular heritage towns are pricey! You can expect to pay 120-180HRK for a alcoholic drink.
