Ferry Istria: Travel Guide

Istria: When to visit?

The best time to visit Croatia is generally summer, from June to September. During this period, the climate is warm and sunny, with average temperatures fluctuating between 25°C and 30°C. The days are long and ideal for enjoying beaches and outdoor activities. However, it's important to note that this is also the most touristic period, which means that prices can be higher and tourist sites more crowded.

Spring and autumn are also good seasons to visit Croatia. Temperatures are pleasant, ranging from 15°C to 25°C, and there are fewer tourist crowds. It's the ideal time to explore historic towns, hike in national parks or simply relax and enjoy the beauty of Croatian nature.
