Why Visit Croatia?
Thanks to its charming mixture of picturesque coastlines, fascinating historical sights & bustling cityscapes, Croatia is becoming an increasingly popular holiday destination amongst Irish tourists year on year. Located in the Adriatic Sea, some of this country’s neighbours include Slovenia, Hungary & Serbia. The pleasant Mediterranean climate along coastal areas makes it a perfect Summer Holiday destination, and with so much to see & do all over the country you’re sure to spend plenty of time outdoors enjoying the good weather!
Croatia is filled with gems waiting to be discovered. Stay in some of the major cities situated along the coast, such as Split or Dubrovnik, and experience some of the beautiful beaches the country boasts firsthand which can be found a short distance away. Our Retail Manager Vanessa recently visited Dubrovnik and shared her experiences in the city, with the gorgeous views along the coast being a particular highlight.

For Families
There is plenty for families to do and see in Croatia. Kids and parents alike will love a visit underground to the Biserujka Cave, where you will see lots of stalagmites and stalactites and sights you likely wouldn’t see at home! The calm waters of the River Gacka make it a great spot for canoeing and kayaking which is sure to go down a treat with the whole family. There are also a number of sandy beaches located across Croatia which are the perfect place to spend a day splashing in the sea and building sandcastles.

With a mixture of luxury stores and boutiques to high street chains and shopping malls, there is something for everyone no matter what you’re looking for and what your budget is. While in Croatia, a trip to the local markets is a must. Here, you’ll be able to pick up traditional Croatian goods that are perfect for taking home as a souvenir from your holiday.
Ultra Europe Music Festival
Ultra Europe is an annual music festival that takes place in Split during the summer. This festival is extremely popular, drawing people from all over the world eager to see their favourite DJs and performers. Past line-ups have included superstar DJs including Swedish House Mafia, Alesso, Armin van Buuren and David Guetta.
Best Time to Go
Croatia makes for a great holiday destination year-round due to its variety of sights to see and things to do. We would recommend visiting between May and October, when the weather is at its hottest and many hours of sunshine are seen most days. If you want to avoid the crowds, visiting outside the summer season is recommended.
