Guide to Luxury Holidays in Croatia
For the discerning traveller, Croatia delivers a genuine five-star experience. It's a land of great contrast. There's ancient walled settlements, chic beach resorts, beautiful national parks, and the stunning Adriatic coastline. And that's without mentioning the country's ten UNESCO World Heritage Sites. A luxury holiday in Croatia is an unforgettable experience, and one you're likely to repeat again and again.
It's perhaps no surprise that any description of Croatia begins and ends with a reference to its beautiful coastline, and the famed islands and islets - all 1,244 of them - that punctuate the Adriatic Sea. They are an intrinsic part of any luxury holiday experience to Croatia, and there is no better way to explore their shores than on board your own chartered yacht.
Croatia is a year-round destination, with temperatures governed by your proximity to the coastline and its welcome breeze.The shoulder months of May-June and September-October are considered the best times to visit with temperatures ranging from 24 - 30°C. In July and August it gets hotter and it's not unusual for temperatures to reach 32°C or above. If you're visiting the country during this period, expect to come back with a tan. In winter, you can expect mild winters on the coast, but take note - the temperature drops inland.
You'll need a valid passport, but fortunately, British citizens do not need a visa to enter the country.
Croatian cuisine reflects the different cultures that define the country we know today. On the coastline expect a strong Mediterranean influence, with delicious seafood taking centre stage, whilst inland there's a pronounced nod in the direction of Eastern Europe. All the main towns have an exciting restaurant scene, with fine-dining a speciality. The region of Istria is fast becoming a must-visit destination for foodies, and you can expect things like white truffles, wild asparagus and award winning white wines made (from the Malvazija grape) to be a fixture on menus.
