Do you like castles? If the answer is yes, then take a tour of Trsat Castle, one of the most emblematic sites in town.

The golden rule in Croatia is “Be closer to nature!”. Some people who choose to come here enjoy the stunning environment of the country: the cleanest sea and beaches, where instead of ridiculous parasols you can find pine trees towering over the coast, where waters are transparent, warm and clean. Others choose the healing power of the land and water, as Croatia displays no less than 20 mineral springs and one field of unique mineral oil. But the most “radical” of tourists come to this country to cast off the hypocritical veil of civilization and fully merge with nature at one of the many nudist beaches in the country.

Getting there

“Aeroflot” provides several flights a week from Moscow to Zagreb. From late April to mid-October, there are organized charter flights to Pula, Split and Dubrovnik once a week, and from June to September, there are flights to Pula twice as often. Domestic Flights offered by Croatia Airlines travel from Zagreb to Dubrovnik, Split and Pula. In the summer, you can take a charter to the island of Krk once a week.

From Kiev and Minsk, there are charter flights to the main resort centers in the country: Pula, Dubrovnik and Split.

Croatian trains are comfortable and follow a strict schedule. Railways connect all major cities of the country, with the exception of Dubrovnik (in which case you need to get on a train to Split, and then take a bus to Dubrovnik).

The bus network in Croatia is also quite extensive, with regular departures and at a low cost.

The most comfortable means of transportation inside the country remains, however, the car. So we advise you to book an airport transfer online in advance. This way, after you land in Croatia, there will be a car waiting for you to take you from the main Croatian airports and take you to your destination.

Rent a Car in Croatia

To rent a car in Croatia, you must be at least 21 years, to have the experience of at least three years behind the wheel, credit card, passport and driving license. If you enjoy the pleasure of traveling rapidly and carefree around the country, visiting all the major tourist attractions Croatia has to offer, then employing the services of a car-rental company is definitely the perfect option for you.

The Climate of Croatia

On the coast, Croatia has a Mediterranean climate with hot and very dry summers (air temperature +25 .. +29 ° C) and warm wet winters (+9 .. +15 ° C). The swimming season lasts from early May to mid-October.

Croatian Seaside

In all municipal beaches the admission is free. Rental of sun loungers and umbrellas costs about 2 EUR. Some hotels provide beach equipment free of charge.

The beaches of Istria, with very few exceptions, have artificial concrete platforms, natural stones, a plateau or small pebble lagoons. In Central Dalmatia (Brela, Baska Voda, Tucepi and others) and on the island of Brac, there are beaches of small pebbles. They are considered the best on the coast. Pines grow here just 3-4 meters from the surf line, so no umbrellas are needed. In southern Dalmatia, there are both sandy and rocky beaches, but in the Dubrovnik area you can find the best sandy beaches.

Hotels in Croatia

 There are many new, refurbished hotels in Croatia, most of them having three stars, and a few “fours” and “fives”.

Catering represents mainly breakfast or half board. And for breakfast, as a rule, tourists are served “buffet”. Only a few hotels offer “All inclusive” services.

The difference in the cost of the boarding “with dinners” and without them is of an average 4-5 EUR per day, so decide if it is worth it to take half board. Also, it is necessary to specify in advance whether beverages are included in the price: in many hotels, free drinks are included only at breakfast and lunch or dinner, and for the rest of the time, you have to purchase them at an additional, quite substantial, cost.

Turkish oriental five-star pampering is not common in Croatia, so tourists will find themselves unhappy with Croatian standards, with modest, unpretentious rooms. In some places, there is no air conditioning (so check in advance!). Animation is only found in international “chains” of hotels, which in Croatia are very rare.

The voltage is 220 V, 50 Hz, using the standard sockets and plugs with round plugs, but due to the intense reconstruction of a number of hotels under European standards, European-style sockets are becoming increasingly popular.

Banks , exchange offices and gratuities

A bit of history: the name of the national currency in Croatia – “coon” – comes from the animal “marten”, whose skins were formerly used instead of money.

Currency can be exchanged at banks , exchange offices, post offices, travel agencies, ” Croats Tourist” (where you can also exchange traveler’s checks) and hotels, almost everywhere. Some banks make money exchange without commission, but the commission is usually 1-1.5%. Croatian banks are open daily from 8:00 am to 17:00 pm, and on Saturdays until 13:00; Sundays are off.

Credit cards accepted everywhere include MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club and Visa.

In hotels, restaurants and for taxis, if the service charge is not included in the bill, the tip is 10%. If the cost of services is included in the bill, then the tourist does not have to pay a tip.

Shopping and shops in Croatia

Shops are open on weekdays from 8:00 to 20:00 and on Saturdays and Sundays until 14:00. On the coast, during the tourist season, they work from 6:00 to 12:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00 (22:00).

The most common local “souvenirs” include beverage, especially wine (usually dry) . If you are in for hard liquor, the most famous are “Travaritsa” ( strong liquor made from herbs), “Slivovitz” (from plums) and “Grushovitsa”. Also you can enjoy the popular cherry liqueur “Maraschino” from Zadar.

 Buying more expensive gifts includes jewelery from Rijeka called “morchish” – fine handcrafted brooches, pins, pendants. You can also buy products made from the corals that are found on many islands here (by the way, taking corals from the sea is forbidden and punished very severely).

From the traditional handicrafts of Croatia, it is worth mentioning beautiful lace from the Dolmatskih islands, needlework embroidery, wood carvings and clothes made of wool and leather, carpets, ceramics, costumes and tapestries.

Croatian cuisine and restaurants

In addition to the standard European cuisine, you can find many national Croatian dishes that are definitely worth a try. These are Dalmatian or Istrian prosciutto (raw meats), or pashsky lichsky cheese, sheep cheese, Slavonian Kulen (a kind of sausage) , famous samoborskie or zagorski cheshnovki (sausages as well). In Istria, the main dishes include fish and seafood, as well as pashtitsada (stew) and boiled mutton. Popular Croatian specialties are “chobanats”, stews of different kinds of meat, generously seasoned with paprika ” shtrukli ” – macaroni and cheese, “police” – baked potatoes with bacon. On the coast, you should definitely try the expensive (and delicious) dishes with truffles, as well as the Istrian soup “maneshtra”. Recommended chocolate sweets are “Bayadere” and “griots”.

Croatian national drinks include red wine “Teran”, “Merlot”, “Cabernet”, “Opoplo”, “Plavac”, “Dingač” and “Postup”, the varieties of white wine are “Malvasia”, “Poship”, “Pino” “Kuyundzhusha”, “Zhlahtina” and “Muscat”. Among the most well-known spirits, we can enumerate: “Slivovitz”, “Travaritsa” and “Lozovac”

Cafes and restaurants at various costs and standards are to be found in resort towns at every turn.

The portions are enormous and welcoming. Tourists are welcomed to step in “conoba” (National tavern), where they are offered a warm welcome, especially if they come a second time.

Entertainment, sightseeing and attractions in Croatia

The city of Zadar is impressive, with its perfectly preserved city walls, which defended the city and helped defeat the Turks, and which harbor the first Croatian university and the factory that produces the cherry liqueur “Maraschino”.

Perhaps Pula is the most mysterious and unusual city in Croatia. This is due, above all, to its rich history, which strongly influenced the architecture, culture and tradition of the locals.

There is much to see here, but at the same time, Pula is hardly a sweet and pretty town. Rather, it is stylish and a bit cold, but the number of visitors make it a more accessible and pleasant place to be.

A little history

The first traces of human life in Croatia have been found near Pula. The very first mention of the town is found in the legend of the Argonauts. If we are to believe the legend, it was the Argonauts who founded this city, during their journey for the Golden Fleece. Proof of this can be found in the numerous objects discovered during archaeological digs. Perhaps Pula was founded by the Argonauts, but the connection to the ancient Greek culture is obvious to scientists. A few years before the Christian era, Pula got the status of Roman colony, so it was then that its rapid development began. One of the most interesting vestiges is the Arena, a huge amphitheater, one of the biggest in the world, perfectly preserved to this day. It has driven the interest of tourists and historians all over the world. This is not just a historical monument, but the site of numerous annual festivals held in Pula.

The Triumphal Arch of Sergius and the Temple of Augustus were also built in the Roman era. After the fall of the Roman rule, the city was successively ruled by Venetians, Austrians, Italians. Pula was only returned to Croatia in 1947. During the Dark Ages, many buildings were built, mostly typical of the medieval Roman-Gothic architecture. Many of them have survived to the present day and are a very important component of the modern image of Pula.

The resort area of Medulin also features several small nudist beaches. Hotels are different, each one has its own specific, but the level is high enough for all: in Croatia, the hotel business is very tightly controlled by legislation. Therefore, even more modest hotels must “to keep the brand”.

The ancient Roman amphitheater was built in the 1st century AD and is a gigantic structure, accommodating 23,000 spectators! Nowadays, the amphitheater hosts major concerts and events.

It is interesting to wander through the old town. In the city center, there is the hill where a castle is located. There is a beautiful view of the city, and you can see old cannons, as well as models and diagrams of ships in the local museum.
