Destination: Croatia

LONELY PLANET'S OFFICIAL GUIDEBOOK INFORMATION

Getting Started

Untitled Document Croatia has decades of experience in welcoming travellers, whether in luxurious hotels, modest family-owned pensions (guesthouses) or beachfront camping grounds. Advance planning is a good idea in peak season (mid-July through August), especially if you’ll be staying on one of the islands. Car ferries to and from Italy and among the islands can fill up at that time. At any time of year, pay close attention to the ferry schedules to the islands as they change with the seasons. Taking ferries from island to island is particularly tricky; don’t count on a daily ferry connection. You may have more flexibility than you think in July and August, but a lot less from September to June.

DON`T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT…

Rubber shoes to wade into the water along Croatia’s rocky coast.
Maximum-protection sunscreen.
Valid travel insurance.
Anti-sea-sickness medicine just in case the Adriatic gets choppy.
Instant coffee to replace the foul brew poured in hotels.
