Coastal Holidays In Croatia

From the walled splendour of Dubrovnik to the Roman ruins of Split, the southern Dalmatian coast blends culture with a laid-back Mediterranean feel. Days are easily spent strolling palm-lined promenades, enjoying gelato by the harbour or taking a swim in the clear, warm sea.

Further north, towns like Zadar and Šibenik offer a mix of historic charm and easy access to national parks, while Istria’s coastal towns — such as Rovinj and Porec — deliver a more Italian-influenced atmosphere, with colourful houses, wine estates and a relaxed café culture.

Island-hopping is a highlight of any Croatian coastal escape. Ferries and boats connect the mainland to islands like Hvar, Korcula and Brac, each with their own character. From lavender fields and vineyards to ancient stone villages and lively beach bars, the islands offer as much variety as the mainland.
