Croatia Adventure Vacations & Hiking Tours

The best time to visit Croatia is during the summer months, from June to September, when sunlight is plentiful and temperatures are warm, between 66°F and 86°F. The cooler conditions of May and October lend themselves to a wide range of other outdoor activities, from hiking to kayaking.

10 days is the ideal amount of time for most travelers to explore Croatia. With that said, Croatia is an incredibly diverse place to visit with a lot of things to do, so if you have more time you can visit for three weeks or even a month.

The sea will be warm enough for swimming and the beaches wonderful for soaking up the sun. The average high temperature along the coast drops 3 degrees to 25°C while daytime highs in the capital city reach around 22°C.

Consisting of an imperial Roman palace that was taken over by the plebs and turned into a vibrant city, central Split is an attraction in itself. There’s no single must-see attraction here: it’s really a question of taking time to stroll the palace’s narrow, tunnel-like streets, where Roman, medieval and Renaissance buildings jostle to form a unique urban jungle. Rising above the city to the west, the Marjan peninsula presents an easily accessible expanse of woodland park, with some fine views of the town center.
A view of the Diocletian’s palace from the hills surrounding the city will quickly establish why any emperor would be more than happy to locate his palace at the site that Diocletian chose for his retirement home. Construction began in 293 and was competed in ten years, utilizing a variety of materials from the region, including white stone shipped from the island of Brač to sphinxes transported from Egypt. Diocletian’s palace has become the quintessential ‘living museum’, as people continue to live and work inside the walls of the ancient palace complex ever since ancient times. We will be visiting the palace and its cellars during our guided walk.
If you wander around asking where the ‘Obala hrvatskog naradnog preporoda’ is (literally Quay of the Croatian National Revival), you might be greeted by a few blank looks. Instead, just ask for the Riva. It is a broad street on the waterfront that runs the length of the old town and hugs the palace on its south side. It’s THE gathering spot, day and night, for the people of Split to engage in some of the activities that have been turned into a fine art in Croatia: chatting over a cup of coffee and people-watching.
The Papalic family settled in Split in the early 14th century and built a small palace to serve as the home of this respected family. Today it houses the City Museum of Split. The collection includes antique sculptures and monuments from Split and nearby Salona, paintings, documents, and photographs which help tell the story of Split.
