7 Reasons to Explore Croatia With Kids
Europe was the hot ticket for traveling families this summer. Sure, Italy and France are…
The Dalmatian Coast is an adventurer’s paradise. On our Croatia vacations, you will travel by private boat from Hvar Town to Vela Luka on Korcula Island for a day of biking. Set on a tiny peninsula on the Peljesac channel, Korcula was first home to Slavic pirates who used the island as a base from which to attack passing ships; in the year 1000, it was taken over by Venice, marking the start of an 800-year on-and-off Venetian rule. Today, the island is renowned for its gorgeous, white quarried stone, countless secluded bays, small, uninhabited islands, and breathtaking views.

We require a high level of fitness as adventurers will be met with plenty of challenges and sometimes extreme conditions.
Whether you’re looking to dip your toes into the Adriatic or want to explore the streets of Dubrovnik, we believe June is the best time to visit Croatia because of its lovely daily high temperatures in the upper 70s and island-hopping is in full swing before the busiest months of July and August.
What you end up picking will depend on when you plan on traveling, but below are three things that you should consider packing for your Croatia adventure, regardless of when you visit!
The voltage in Croatia is 220 whereas it’s 120 in the U.S. so if you plan on packing electronics, you’ll need to pack accordingly. This means that you may need an electrical converter in addition to the outlet adapter that you’ll need (outlets in Croatia have the standard Continental Europe two-pin plug). It all depends on what you plan on plugging in and if it works universally in the U.S. and Europe. Read your product manuals – especially if it’s an electric shaver or hairdryer.
While uncommon, sometimes people experience motion sickness while on boats. Whether taking a public ferry or island-hopping via a chartered boat, guests who think they might have motion sickness may want to pack Dramamine to combat the possibility of motion sickness.
No one likes sand in their socks, so flip flops and/or sandals are a must for the beach. If you’re planning on exploring the cities and villages, pack close-toed shoes like tennis shoes or hiking boots. Finally, for nights when you want to dress up, keep in mind that many streets are cobblestone so consider packing flats instead of heels.

When it comes to travel tips, sharing is caring, so we’re happy to pass on a few pointers on how you can best experience Croatia.
Care to have a beer while gazing at the deep blue sea? Then you’ll want to hit up this bar which is found in the cliffs in the old town area of Dubrovnik. It’s called Buza (meaning ‘hole’ in Croatian), and you enter through a small door in the seaward-facing city walls. If you decide to climb down the rocks and go for a dip, do it before you order your drink!
Croatians love their ‘kava’ a.k.a. coffee. They drink it all day, and it’s a beloved ritual that is much more like an art form than a quick caffeine pick-me-up. To blend in with the locals, have a seat in a ‘kafic’ (café), sip your brew and partake in the people-watching. Do so as if you have all the time in the world, it’s what the Dalmatians do!
Croatia has many nude beaches, but the southern beaches tend to be more modest, so keep that in mind before picking a beach or dropping your top!
