The best time to go on a family holiday to Croatia

In a world where schools rule, the best time to go on a family holiday to Croatia is of course during the school holidays. Most family holidays in Croatia are aimed at the summer holidays, July and August, although some start at Easter and the cool, switched on ones stay open until October half term. When the water is still warm, and the wine is flowing.

Best time to go on a family holiday to Croatia

FROM SCHOOL TO CROATIAN COOL

Not surprisingly, the best time to go on a family holiday to Croatia is during the school holidays, with most holiday companies offering family fun from Easter onwards, although some only kick in properly in June-Aug. Oct half term is superb in Croatia, however. A few companies still offer holidays then, when the crowds have gone as it is the tail end of the season. But it does mean that there is lots of space to really let rip, adventure wise. And parents can toast a successful autumn adventure with a glass of local wine. Because this is not only quiet time, but also grape harvest time.

BEST TIME TO GO ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY TO CROATIA

RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL RECOMMENDS

Ana Vujakovic from our Croatian supplier, Huck Finn Adventure Travel: “If you plan to visit national parks, it is good to check their opening times in advance. In the summer months it is not something that should be a problem since they have longer working hours, but arriving early in the morning (just after opening) will help you see the park before rest of the visitors arrive. Also, travelling with a local operator can help avoid long lines and pick put the best spots to see.”

Marijana Filipovic of Cycling Croatia: “If you can visit outside July and August, the prices of everything are less inflated, including restaurants. And you can get around more easily as a family, because the streets here are narrow, so try and avoid the busy times. The last week of August is not so bad as a lot of local schools have started their new year.”
