In Croatia car hire gives you the freedom to explore a range of exciting locations all across the country. Whether you plan to soak up the sunshine of the Dalmatian Coast, explore the fascinating city of Dubrovnik or tour the ancient Istria region, you?re guaranteed to find the most unique experience with car hire.
Croatia has in recent years become one of Europe?s most popular summer holiday destinations and it?s easy to see why. With Mediterranean good looks and a heart to match, Croatia is a destination that's difficult to beat. In recent years, resorts have sprung up all along the Adriatic Coast, the most popular of which include Babin Kuk, Cavtat and Dubrovnik.
Istria, on the Adriatic Coast boasts a warm Mediterranean climate, with fine beaches that lend themselves to a range of active watersports including sailing, diving and snorkelling. Further ashore, over one thousand islands line the coast, waiting to be discovered by boat. The islands of Brac, Hvar, Vis and Korcula boast some of the best beaches in Croatia.
Croatia?s climate is regarded as ?mixed?, with continental type weather in the north and east and a ?semi-highland? system in the south-central region. The coastal resorts benefit from warm, dry summers and rainy winters. In terms of sunshine, the islands enjoy the lion?s share, with Hvar soaking up 2715 hours of golden sunlight every year. Summer temperatures vary from the mid twenties to thirties along the Adriatic Coast, where good weather is guaranteed. The warmest months are July and August and rain is rare.
Croatia is not just popular during the wonderfully sun-drenched summer months. The cities of Dubrovnik, Split and Zagreb have over the last number of years become firm favourites for weekend city breaks. Croatia has made a remarkable recovery since the turbulent years of conflict in the early 1990s. Today, Croatia?s capital Zagreb stands tall as a vibrant city, characterised by elegant 19th century architecture and a trendy caf? culture. Meanwhile, the medieval walled city of Dubrovnik offers impressive historical attractions, breath-taking natural beauty and a lively events calendar, the highlight of which is the Dubrovnik Film Festival and the Dubrovnik Summer Festival. On the Dalmatian Coast, the city of Split is well worth a visit, if only to spend a few hours exploring the ruins of its famous palace.
Croatian cuisine offers something exciting to tempt every taste and budget. The resort regions cater to European tastes and it?s easy to eat out for a low cost. However, those with more adventurous palates may like to try cheap local specialities like Kulen spicy sausages and hearty Čobanac stews. Other thrifty treats include tasty ?trukli pasta, fresh ?just caught? local seafood and the ubiquitous Italian inspired pizza.
Wherever your journey through Croatia takes you, you?ll find there?s always something exciting to see or do. In terms of history, hospitality and culture, Croatia has it all. In Croatia car hire gives you the freedom to discover the country?s many distinctive charms at your leisure. Whatever you decide to do, Croatia will definitely
