Captivating Croatia
Temperatures in July and August, the hottest months, are 28-32 degrees. May, June and September are usually sunny and between 22 and 25. April and October are often around a pleasant 16-21 and nights can be a little chillier. The sea usually remains warm until mid-October.
Croatia is closer than you think too, with flights just over 2 hours 30 minutes from the UK. Where ever you choose on the coast or islands, less than a two hour drive inland will take you into a different world of national parks, forests, waterfalls, mountains and rural traditions.
We stayed for five nights in Orebic which is a charming fishing village with beautiful views across to the island of Korkula, which is well worth a visit to and then onto Cavtat for two nights with a trip to Dubrovnik - this was the highlight of the trip for me. Known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic" it is a perfect medieval walled city with narrow cobbled streets filled with wonderful architecture, churches, palaces, squares, museums, shops, restaurants and cafe bars.
I can’t wait to return to explore much more of this stunning country.
