Booking a holiday home in Croatia - Some help and tips

Throughout the early 1990’s Croatia was a place that was not somewhere that tourists were going to be visiting because of the war taking place. Yet today it is a completely different story and now more and more visitors are flocking again to enjoy the splendors of this beautiful country.

Most tourists travel to Croatia to enjoy its beautiful well kept beaches and wander around it unspoilt villages. But yet there are plenty of other things for one to do and see when visiting this country and which will provide you with further insight into the country’s turbulent past.

Most people generally when they travel to Croatia either visit its capital Zagreb which is made it back in 1557. They also are now finding just how beautiful other parts of the country are including Dubrovnik and Split.

In Zagreb the old and the new seem to have balanced themselves well. Along with being able to enjoy the Austro-Hungarian architecture that the town is famous for there is plenty of good shops as well. Today in this the capital city of Croatia you will find numerous shops that now sell all the latest fashions as seen in France and Italy.

As for Dubrovnik this city remains much of the countries old world charm and the best parts to visit are located in the Stari Grad area of the city. Along with the squares paved with marble, you can enjoy wandering around its cobbled streets, convents, churches and palaces. Plus take in the museums and even though during 1991 and 1992 the city was heavily shelled during the war taking place most of the buildings have been lovingly restored.

To really appreciate everything that the city has to offer then spend time wandering along the city walls surrounding it. Constructed during the 13th and 16th Centuries these have helped to protect the city throughout its history and if you climb one of the 16 towers along its length it provides you with panoramic views over the city. But these towers are not for the faint hearted as they are 82 feet tall.

When it comes to planning a visit to Croatia many people choose to come during the spring and early summer months. Yes there is a much higher chance of it raining but the temperatures will not have yet reached those which one will find unbearable and which occur during the summer months.

If you do want to visit Croatia in the summer then arrange a holiday to one of the country’s many coastal resorts. You will still have plenty of sunshine to enjoy but also the breezes which blows in off the sea help to make the temperatures at this time of year much easier to bear. However, you shouldn’t forget to pack your sun cream as well. Plus a visit in the winter may be worth considering as the heat the water retains during the summer is then released back into the air in the winter and so the climate remains relatively warm.
