One Croatia

Croatia is very close from most of the European capitals : 1 hour from Rome, 2 hours from Paris, 2.30 hours from Madrid and London by plane.
Croatian language and culture will make you feel far away from home.
The sea is pure and crystal clear, its temperature reaches 27 C / 80 F during the summer.
Either you like to spend your vacations doing cultural visits, discover typical villages, national parks, walk in the nature or relax at the beach, Croatia is the perfect destination for you.

More and more airline companies offer low cost flights to Croatia. So wherever your are coming from, you should find a cheap flight to one of many Croatian airports as Zagreb, Rijeka, Pula, Zadar or Dubrovnik.

On the coast the weather is sunny from April to October, but prefer June to September if you intend to swim. Don’t forget to check the weather forecast before you leave.

The Croatian money is the Euro since 1st January 2023 when Croatia joined the Euro zone. So for your next vacation in Croatia no more Kunas but only Euros will be used.

Croatia has been part of the European Union since 2013. On January 1st, 2023 Croatia will be the 27th country to join the Schengen area.
Croatians will thus join the 400 million people authorized to circulate freely in the Schengen area.
It will then be possible to travel without a passport, and border controls should be abolished.

Former republic of Yugoslavia, Croatia is a parliamentary republic.
The current president is Zoran Milanović. He was elected against incumbent President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović in the 2020 elections.
The next presidential elections will take place in 2025.
The prime minister and head of government is Andrej Plenković, he is the head of the Croatian parliament called Sabor.

Most of the hotels have been renovated this last few years and today Croatia has a lot of very nice 3, 4 and 5 stars hotels.
If your budget does not allow you to stay in a hotel or if you are looking for more privacy, I advise you then to reserve a private accommodation. An apartment, a villa or just a room will give you much more privacy for much less money.

Very good. A lot of work has been done the last few years and we constantly work on the expansion and renovation of the roads. The highway crosses now the country from west to east and from north to south.

Yes and more and more. The speed cameras are indicated by a sign, so be careful because you will hardly see them. These are small cameras that sit on top of utility poles or other poles along roads.

For 300 years Croatia was a country in Europe divided into two parts. It was then necessary to cross the city of Neum in Bosnia-Herzegovina to reach Dubrovnik.
However, the opening of the Pelješać bridge in the summer of 2022 has brought the country together. Whether you take the Split-Dubrovnik highway or the coast road, you can get around Bosnia and Herzegovina by crossing the Pelješac Bridge.

Yes, most of the Croatian do speak English. Younger people speaks English fluently.

Yes, very safe. Even in big towns we don’t hear much about delinquency. We can walk by day or by night without any fear of being attacked.

Not many. On the coast you will find rocky and pebble beaches. Most of the sandy beaches are situated on the islands.

Thanks to its crystal clear sea and warm temperatures, Croatia is perfect for diving.
You will find many diving centers along the coast and on the islands. They will offer you to go scuba diving or just initiate you to that sport.
Otherwise you should know that the sea is so clear that a simple mask and snorkel will ensure hours of fun. Just by swimming near the rocks you will see all kinds of small fishes, shellfishes, sea urchins and starfishes.

Yes, tap water is drinkable in Croatia.
Thanks to its relief and geographical location, Croatia has many sources of excellent quality fresh water.
If the water is not drinkable it will be clearly indicated.
