Weather features of a beach holiday in Croatia
Prices for tours to Croatia largely depend on the season. Its peak occurs in the summer months, but in May, local beaches begin to fill up with guests from many European countries. Even the French and Italians for some time now prefer to sunbathe on the Croatian Adriatic coast, where hotel prices are much more pleasant than at home, and the level of service often surpasses service in Rimini and even Nice.
The water warms up already in early June to + 20 ° С, reaching a peak temperature of + 27 ° С by mid-August. In the air at the height of July, thermometers stably show up to + 29 ° С. The climate of the beach regions of Croatia allows you to stay at the resorts until mid-October.
Children's rest on the Adriatic
Traveling to Croatia with children is a great summer vacation option. A short flight will not cause trouble even with little ones, the mild climate will not require a special regime, and even the most capricious young tourists will like the local cuisine.
The most suitable regions for a children's beach holiday in Croatia are Istria and North Dalmatia. The sea here is shallow enough off the coast, which allows the water to warm up quickly and confidently in early June. Even in the height of summer, sea breezes bring a saving coolness to the shores of the Adriatic in these latitudes, and pine groves create an ideal shade for an afternoon rest.
The rest in the resorts of Central and South Dalmatia will appeal to older children. In these regions, there are many opportunities to spend an active and educational vacation. Water entertainment centers are open on the beaches, and riding schools, water parks and aquariums are on the shore. Medieval Croatian cities will attract the attention of young travelers with chivalrous architectural sights and fascinating museum exhibitions.
Merge with nature
There is another large category of tourists for whom a beach vacation in Croatia is ideal. Nudists from all over Europe fly to the local coast to spend their vacation as naturally as possible and without attracting unnecessary attention from other holidaymakers. Numerous nudist beaches in Croatia are scattered along the entire Adriatic coast. They are usually quite affordable and close to the main resorts. Admission to nudist beaches is usually paid, and they are marked with a special abbreviation FKK. The most famous and popular:
- On the island of Cres, you can sunbathe naked on the beaches of Baldarin and Kovacine.
- Lokrum Island near Dubrovnik has a nudist beach of the same name.
- On the largest island of the Adriatic, with the short name Krk, several nudist recreation sites are equipped. The most famous are Banculuka and Konobe.
Those who like to come to the beach without bathing suits can also conveniently settle down on the islands of Hvar, Korcul, Brač and Lopud.
