What To Wear In Croatia

 

Most visitors to Croatia come between April and October, a time when the weather is more pleasant. It starts to get chilly around mid-October. The peak period is the summer, which can be quite hot although your trip can take you from island beaches to hikes in the mountains which will be cooler. Precipitation is possible throughout the year but much less likely during the summer months. You might want to bring a light rain jacket just in case.

The key is to avoid sloppy clothing, aiming for neat casual. If you’ll be mixing it up, traveling to various areas that may have varying climates, bring items that can be layered. If you plan to go out at night, wearing a dressy top and nice, dark jeans or a dress. Button down or polo shirts and dark jeans work well for men. If you’re on a cruise or any type of sailing trip, summer dresses and a big floppy hat are ideal for women. Men may want to pack airy cotton shirts, shorts, and straw hat. Don’t forget polarized sunglasses for UV protection. For sightseeing, be sure to pack comfortable walking shoes.

If you’ll be visiting during the winter, you’ll need a warm coat. Inland areas, including Zagreb, require gloves, scarves, and a hat as it may snow. Only visiting the more southern regions? A light jacket should suffice.

Please note that there are no laundry facilities on the small ship cruise boats so we suggest that you wash clothes whilst staying in one of the hotels.
