Croatia: Introduction In Croatia, the coastline has a warm dry Mediterranean climate and there are literally hundreds of uninhabited islands. Whether you’re looking for a family adventure or a romantic getaway, there’s something perfect for you. Croatia has soared in popularity as a holiday destination in recent years, as more and more people visit and share the secret. A diverse country with historic cities and ancient forests, mountain ranges and sunlit beaches, Croatia is a country that will continue to charm visitors long into the future. Monarch has plenty of package holidays to Dubrovnik, as well as options for villa and two-centre holidays, so you can explore Croatia at your own pace. Weather Where to Stay Activities Hvar has become the prime destination for the glitterati and their yachts, as well as hosting music festivals in the summer months. Nevertheless, it continues to retain its island charm, much like its neighbours Mljet and Brač. Travelling by boat to the islands, whether by a cruise line or your own sailboat from Dubrovnik, is a fantastic way of discovering the Dalmatian coastal region. Croatia is blessed by natural beauty, meaning you can dock your boat or park your car nearly anywhere and hike through pine forests to explore natural parks and mountain ranges, or kayak down the rivers. A holiday in Croatia would be incomplete without visiting the Croatian cities of Dubrovnik and Split. Walk through Dubrovnik’s historic walls and bastions, and explore the countless beautiful churches and Renaissance buildings of the Old Town. If you holiday here, make sure you don’t miss the sunset over the romantic city – it’s a phenomenal sight! The World Heritage site of Diocletian’s Summer Palace makes Split an obligatory stop-over. Indulge in Croatian cuisine, which shows strong Italian influences – make sure you try the ice cream, the best outside of Italy!
