Holiday Home in Croatia

What to do in Croatia?

Holidaying in Croatia is above all about enjoying the good life. The mix of a nice climate, the local food and drink and the relaxed lifestyle is the ideal recipe for your stay. Croatia has an ancient culture with influences from the Romans, from Italy, from the Ottomans and, of course, from their roots in the Balkans. This makes Croatia very diverse and surprising.

Coffee Time

Croats consider good food and drink the most important moments of the day. It starts with the first cup of coffee in the morning. You often see Croatians sitting on a terrace enjoying an espresso or cappuccino. Quality and taking time for each other are a must. The correct preparation, the fine taste and the right presentation, everything is right for a cup of coffee. So: go to a local coffee bar and order your coffee as you like it. Add a (sweet) roll or brioche and your day is complete.

Lunchtime, take your time.

The next important moment of the day is lunch. Not a quick sandwich, but a fresh hot meal, fish or meat, accompanied by a glass of local wine. Take your time. A long lunch is a daily luxury in Croatia. This feast is repeated in the evening with a “light meal”, often with cold dishes, fresh bread and olive oil. An ice cream cone for dessert, please! Croatia has a long and rich history when it comes to ice cream. Infinite flavours and freshly made!

Fine dining: always.

The service in restaurants and on terraces is always friendly and professional. Oberen’ here is still a profession. Always ask for the local specialities or what is on offer outside the menu. Fresh fish, meat specialities, fresh pasta, fresh bread with olive oil. Enjoy!

The weather in Croatia

The Mediterranean climate guarantees a warm summer, starting early in April and lasting until late October. A holiday home with private swimming pool is a godsend! In the morning a fresh dive and afterwards a cup of tea or coffee on your terrace. During the day to cool down, because in high summer the temperature sometimes rises to 30-35’C. The summer evenings are long and warm, perfect for a long dinner or a visit to a town.
