🗺 Croatia Itineraries

🌿 Good to Know Before Visiting Croatia
Small, practical things that make coastal towns, islands and road trips smoother and more relaxed.
💶 Currency & Cards
Croatia uses the euro. Cards are widely accepted, but keep some cash for markets, bakeries and small family-run konobas.
🚗 Driving & Ferries
Coastal roads are scenic but slow in summer. Book ferries early for cars, and check island timetables before planning overnights.
🏖 Beaches
Most beaches are pebbly, not sandy. Pack water shoes, but enjoy the reward: incredibly clear turquoise water.
🍽 Eating Out
Dinner starts later by the sea. Book ahead in July and August, especially in small coastal towns with just a few konobas.
🌞 Seasons
July–August are hot and busy. May–June and September–October bring warm seas, softer light and fewer crowds.
🏞 National Parks
Plitvice and Krka have wooden walkways, timed tickets and seasonal routes. Check official info and avoid the midday rush if you can.
💬 Language
Croatian is the local language, but English is widely spoken in tourist areas. A simple “hvala” (thank you) is always appreciated.
🍷 Slow Evenings
Evenings stretch late on the coast. Join locals for a glass of wine on the riva instead of rushing from sight to sight.
