Thanks to its beautiful coastline, historic cities, national parks, islands and magnificent waterfalls, Croatia is one of the most visited countries in Europe<\/b>.<\/p>\n

If we had to choose one season to visit Croatia, it would be summer<\/b>. During summer, you can experience the best of Croatia: swimming, sunbathing, lively towns, open restaurants and shops… In summer, Croatia reaches the peak of its tourist season, and it is also the warmest time of the year<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Tourist season in Croatia<\/b><\/h2>\n

In Croatia there are 3 tourist seasons<\/b>: the main season (high season), the pre-season and the post-season (low seasons). The pre-season is in spring, from April to June, and the post-season is in autumn, from September to November. The main season is during the summer months (from June to September), when Croatia counts the highest number of tourists and the highest number of overnight stays.<\/p>\n

High season<\/strong><\/h3>\n

High season in Croatia starts in June and lasts until September. During this period, spending time<\/b> on the beach<\/b> is one of the main forms of relaxation. And regardless of the crowds that are inevitable in the summer months, thanks to the numerous hidden coves, in Croatia you can always find a small corner of peace and solitude. During this period you can also enjoy various concerts and numerous organized events<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Low season<\/strong><\/h3>\n

During the winter months Croatia is relatively quiet<\/b>. The coast, which is extremely lively and busy in summer, is quiet and peaceful in winter. Therefore, off-season vacations in Croatia are an excellent choice if you want peace and privacy. Although it is winter, temperatures are not uncomfortably low, and you can still enjoy outdoor activities. Also, accommodation prices are more reasonable<\/b> in winter than in the high summer season.<\/p>\n

Spring and autumn in Croatia<\/b><\/h3>\n

In spring and autumn the weather is mostly nice with lots of sun, pleasant temperatures and little crowds. If you are a nature lover, these are the best months for outdoor activities and exploring nature<\/b>. One of the best ways to make the most of outdoor activities is to visit national parks.<\/p>\n

The most famous national park in Croatia is the Plitvice Lakes National Park<\/a>, located in the Continental Croatia. Well-known for its 16 lakes, the Plitvice National Park welcomes thousands of tourists every year.<\/p>\n

Enjoy peace and quiet from winter to spring<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The winter months, from November to April, are the quietest times of the season. If you don’t like crowds and the noise of tourist towns, this is the perfect time to visit<\/strong>. The coast is calmer, and sometimes you can feel the breath of the local winds – the jugo or bura, while in the interior there are real winter temperatures. During this period you can enjoy the local cuisine and culture, long walks by the sea, empty streets, as well as much cheaper accommodation<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The best time to visit Croatia<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you want to find top-quality accommodation at more affordable prices, the best months to choose from are April, May, September and October.<\/b> Many villas in our offer<\/a> provide accommodation throughout these months. In this period there are still many events and activities you can enjoy, and the weather is excellent. It is warm, but not as hot as in summer, and there are far fewer tourists<\/b>.<\/p>\n

FAQ<\/strong><\/p>\n

When is the tourist season in Croatia?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tourist season in Croatia lasts throughout the whole year<\/strong>, and we divide it into high and low. The high season covers the period from June to September, while the low season lasts from early fall until late spring.<\/p>\n

When is the rainy season in Croatia?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Croatia has a warm Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters. The most rainfall and humidity can be in the winter months<\/strong> – from November to February.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

From all of the above, we conclude that every period is a good period<\/b> to visit Croatia<\/b>. It all depends on your preferences. During the summer months the weather is very hot and dry and Croatia is the sunniest and liveliest. On the other hand, spring and fall offer beautiful weather, but also a quieter vacation with many possibilities for activities in nature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
