The tie is considered an original Croatian product. Spread across Europe in the 17th century by Croatian soldiers who wore picturesque scarves tied in a knot near the neck, the tie became a world-famous fashion item. Among the first to adopt the tie were the French, into whose language it entered under the name cravate.
The popularity of Croatia as a resort region lies in its amazing natural resources. Snow-white beaches stretching for many kilometers, unusual flora and fauna of national parks, the exotic underwater world of the Adriatic, and the mild climate attract travelers from all over the world. Of no less interest are the romantic cities with their historical monuments, picturesque islands, mountain ranges and caves, as well as exquisite local cuisine and inexpensive aromatic wine.
Croatia is a European country, and the cost of trips to its resorts is relatively high. However, it can be significantly reduced and you can have a great vacation, relaxing at the most prestigious resorts in the country at competitive prices.
We reduce the cost of a tour to Croatia - seasonality and resorts
The azure sea and gentle sun have made the “pearl of the Adriatic” incredibly popular among vacationers all over the world. At the height of the beach season, the cost of a tour to Croatia to the famous resort of Istria ranges from 31 to 48 thousand rubles per person with departure from Moscow. The beaches located in the Kvarner Bay area are also very popular. Prices here start from 30 thousand rubles per person. The resorts of Northern Dalmatia and Split are not lagging behind in this regard - in the summer, a week-long tour will cost 37-42 thousand rubles/person.
However, if you stay in the less prestigious regions of Central and Southern Dalmatia, you can save a lot. Tours to this region are cheaper - from 26 to 28 thousand rubles per person. In addition, pay attention not only to the number of stars of the hotel, but also to its distance from the sea and the airport. The farther the hotel is located from them, the less it will cost to stay there.
Cheap tours to Croatia can be purchased not in the high season - for example, in winter or early spring, when the demand for trips is not yet so great. A last minute tour to the islands will also be a good deal, especially if you have already decided on your travel dates. Such a trip will reduce costs by 20-35%, as well as the early booking method, which will allow you to save from 8 to 10 thousand rubles!

If you choose excursion tours, prices to Croatia start from 23 or 29 thousand rubles per person. This is exactly how much it will cost to stay in hotels in the beautiful ancient cities of Dubrovnik and Pula, subject to early booking.
Not only these, but also other, the best and most current offers from 120 of the world's largest tour operators can be found on the Travelata company website. Take advantage of our last minute or early booking sections for a great holiday at competitive prices!
I really want to go on holiday to Croatia this summer! But we are a little unsatisfied with the prices. We are three adults. We would like it to be cheaper. So far the plan is to independently purchase Aeroflot tickets to Zagreb on August 29 for 43 thousand rubles. and booking an apartment in Porec (Laguna Belaviu 4*) another 32 thousand rubles. Maybe someone can advise if a cheaper option is possible. I persuade my husband to wait for last-minute travel packages, but he doesn’t really agree to this. What should I do? I'm asking for advice from experienced travelers. Thank you!!!
Rent private accommodation on site. Hotels in Croatia are weak, and those that are not weak are expensive. You can go to different places, and you can fly from Dubrovnik or even Tivat (Montenegro). The beaches in Croatia are municipal, you can sunbathe on any one, even Rixos could not isolate itself.
I don’t see information about where you are flying from. From Vladivostok?
Thanks for the advice! We are planning a flight from Moscow on August 29 back on September 12. We fly to Zagreb, because Aeroflot doesn’t fly to Pula. The prices for charters are not cheaper, and they don’t give tickets, they just take money. We haven’t found anything cheaper anywhere. If anyone has found it, tell me! We plan to travel from Zagreb to Poric by bus.
You can search for tickets on expedia.com - there you can find cheap options, both direct and with transfers.
It is enough to book an apartment for the first week or several days, and then look for something else on the spot (if you don’t like it). You can, of course, arrive without a reservation at all, but run around looking for accommodation immediately after the flight and transfer, and if the flight is still late...
Living in an apartment is much more comfortable than living in a hotel, believe me.

Basically a good point,
not quite so - in Porec the off-season begins on September 5, so the week is quite “season” and apartments with a good location must be booked in advance
Bellevue Lagoon is truly a beautiful and expensive place
- look at the apartments between Porec and Bellevue Lagoon - the beaches are the same, the sea is 200 meters away through a dense pine park, the city and food are twice as close, in addition, Bellevue Lagoon is located on a hill - you have to go down to the sea - and closer to the old town the landscape is more even,
you can also look at apartments in the Materada area - it’s not much worse there - but it will be cheaper, it’s a little longer to go to the beach, but everything is so beautiful there - that the extra 100 meters is not a problem, you can go to the Laguna Materada hotel or to any city market, the market is nearby - a compromise , but not bad
(if you need detailed advice - write in a personal message - I will guide you on the map more accurately)

If your goal is to see Zagreb, then it’s fine, but if not, then it seems to me that it’s crazy, in my humble opinion, to spend so much effort on the road - look for tickets from normal operators - at the end of August there should be places “there” for a normal charter to Pula - and even more so for September,
It seems to me easier to sit at the airport than to travel for five hours by bus
Perhaps a charter will not be cheaper, but the ride there takes forty minutes by taxi! - to the coast
Advice for a newbie. We are planning to travel to Croatia on our own in 2 cars. Deadline: end of July. Is it worth booking an apartment in advance or is it quite possible to find everything locally? To be honest, it’s somehow scary to go somewhere unknown and without guaranteed housing. Dispel doubts.
Capity,
a lot depends on your plans for moving around the country. Apartments are usually rented for a week or two, and if you are going to stay in different places for one or two nights... During the season, there is no point in the owners losing a whole week because of your short-term overnight stay. Most offers on the Internet (especially inexpensive ones) have already been sorted out. However, even during rush hour you can find rooms to let/Frei Zimmer signs on the doors and gates of the apartments.
I would advise you to find an apartment for at least the first week, and either find accommodation there for the rest of your vacation during this time, or even in another part of the country - for variety.
Croatia is a country that has absorbed several natural features. It is located between the Adriatic coast, the eastern slopes of the Alpine mountains and the beautiful Danube. Each of the natural components enriches Croatia in its own way. The coastal region is replete with many islands that dot the coastline along the entire Adriatic coast. The Danube River System has created the country's magnificent lowlands, which are home to amazing National Parks. Mountainous Croatia is beautiful with snowy peaks that separate the Balkan part of the country from the Central European part.
Most often, tourists are interested in prices for holidays in Croatia near the sea. Indeed, the stable availability of cheaper tours in this region attracts many people here. You shouldn’t limit your vacation to just the coast. When you visit this country, discover it in all its glory. After all, there are ample opportunities to order tours of various types:
- beach holidays in Croatia - resort regions of the Adriatic coast are attractive with pine beaches and clear water;
- winter mountain tourism - the eastern slopes of Alpine ski resorts annually welcome active sports enthusiasts;
- balneological springs;
- Sightseeing tours of the historical riches of Croatia are a fascinating opportunity to expand their horizons for those who love to learn something new.
If you are interested in relaxing in Croatia in the summer or the coming winter, then get acquainted with the features of this tourist destination in order to choose the best tour for your vacation.
Tours to Croatia
All inclusive
The maximum level of comfort is included in All Inclusive tours. The very name of this service system suggests that you will not need to worry about such trifles as:
- accommodation;
- the need to buy tickets for a charter flight;
- transfer to the airport and hotel;
- travel insurance.
Some offers also give you the right to use additional services for free, such as parking, internet, in-room safe, access to the gym, swimming pool, sauna.
To relax in Croatia inexpensively on an all-inclusive basis, when choosing a tour, pay attention to the following hotels:
- All Inclusive Hotel Laguna Albatros 4*;
- Laguna Molindrio 4*;
- Monte Mulini 5*;
- Eden 4*;
- Le Meridien Lav 5*;
- Dubrovnik Palace & Spa 5*.
Individual booking is not available in every hotel in Croatia; many hotels work only with travel agencies.
Minimum package
Vacation packages with a minimum package of services, which offer to rent accommodation in one-, two- or three-star hotels, allow you to have a cheaper holiday. Typically, such rooms are equipped with very modest furniture; they may not have a separate bathroom, only a shared one in the hallway. The minimum package includes only breakfast.
Savings are also achieved due to the lack of a private beach and the location of the hotel not on the first line. Most often, such complexes are located in former Soviet boarding houses, the reconstruction of which was completed quite recently.
The Croatian private sector offers a good option for a budget holiday, where you can rent decent housing at a price no higher than what two-star hotels charge per night. If you book a tour with such accommodation conditions, you can save money without losing quality.
Best places to stay
Let us now proceed to consider the second question that experts may ask if they want to organize an unforgettable tour to Croatia. To decide where is the best place to relax in Croatia, let's get acquainted with the most developed resort places for each tourist destination.
Beach holiday
Along the entire Adriatic coast, which stretches from the northwest from Slovenia to the southwest to Montenegro, at a distance of more than one thousand seven hundred kilometers, there are almost one thousand two hundred small islands, 67 of which are inhabited and are of interest to tourists who want to know where to go on vacation in Croatia in the summer. All this variety of places is grouped into three resort destinations.
Istria is a peninsula surrounded by the national Brijuni archipelago, which has the status of a park, which includes two large and twelve small islands. The entire resort area of the peninsula is planted with pine trees, olive groves and vineyards. The rocky coast of amazing beauty is equipped with special concrete slabs; in some places there are natural hills, plateaus, natural stones and pebble lagoons. This place is ideal for lovers of ecotourism and hiking, as there are a very large number of walking and cycling paths in the park areas. The Gulf of Lima gives vacationers an endless variety of pristine beaches marked with a blue flag. To relax on these beaches, just purchase a tour to one of the following resorts:
- island of Krk;
- Umag;
- Brijuni island;
- Novigrad;
- Lovran;
- Porec;
- Opatija;
- Medulin;
- Vrsar;
- Rabac;
- Rovinj;
- Pula.
Central Dalmatia is a resort area located between the cities of Sibenik and Gradac. Holidays with children in Croatia are most often spent in this region. Here are the softest beaches (small pebbles), on which pine trees grow almost right next to the water. Around the coast there are two national parks (Kornati, Krka) and one natural garden (Biokovo), which create a peaceful atmosphere here, such a contrast after the noisy metropolis. The Kornati Islands are an archipelago of one hundred and forty islands, and Krka is a park built around the Cetina river system, which is decorated with waterfalls and lush deciduous forests, home to numerous animals. The beaches located at the foot of Mount Biokovo are especially popular among foreign tourists. The main resorts in this region are located in the following places:
- Split;
- Tučepi;
- Vodice;
- Trogir;
- Makarska;
- island of Brac;
- Sibenik;
- Baska Voda;
- island of Hvar;
- Brela;
- Primosten;
- Trogir
Southern Dalmatia is a region that is famous for the most developed tourist infrastructure in Croatia. It is here that the main VIP hotels are concentrated, and all tourist activity revolves around the medieval city of Dubrovnik. Another natural feature that contributes to the development of gourmet tours is that here the Neretva River flows into the sea, forming a bay with unique slightly salted water in which delicious oysters and eels are bred. And the Peljesac peninsula gives vacationers delicious vintage wines of Croatia. The traditional wealth of the country - islands and national parks - are also located in this area. The beaches of the southern islands are considered unique - they are sandy, which is a rarity for Croatia. A holiday in Croatia in the summer is worth spending at one of the resorts in Southern Dalmatia, which include:
- Kolocep Island;
- Cavtat;
- Slano;
- Mljet island;
- Plat;
- Lopud Island;
- Mlini;
- island of Korcula;
- Moan;
- Vela Luka island.
For your health
Holidays in Croatia in the summer definitely need to be diversified by including in your itinerary a visit to at least one healing spring, of which there are more than twenty in the country. This is quite easy to do, since most resort regions near the sea include healing springs in their list:
- in Istria it is the city of Motovun;
- in Central Dalmatia - the island of Hvar, Makarska, the island of Veli Losinj;
- in Southern Dalmatia - the island of Vela Luka.
Those vacationers who are purposefully planning to purchase a medical tour to Croatia should pay special attention to Croatian Zagorje. It is this region, in the center of which the country's capital, Zagreb, is located, that is widely known for the best balneological health resorts. The most popular of them are:
The Naftalan Clinic is the only center in Europe that practices the treatment of psoriasis, various dermatitis, radiculitis, and rheumatism using the healing properties of medicinal oil, deposits of which have been discovered in only two places in the world. One of which is the town of Ivanich-Grad, where this clinic was built.
Terme Tuchel is the main balneological resort center in Croatia, in which the tourist infrastructure is harmoniously combined with professional treatment. Thermal waters fill spacious pools, beautifully decorated saunas after healing mud heal not only the body, but also the thoughts, and the entertainment center with the largest water park in the country allows you to completely forget about illnesses and completely immerse yourself in the world of relaxation.
Bizovacke Toplice is a balneological resort that helps not only to improve your health, but also to get acquainted with the beautiful Slavonia (inland cultural region of Croatia), where it is located. Here, back in the seventies of the last century, three springs with very hot water (+85...+96 °C) were discovered, which rises from the ground from a depth of almost 1800 meters and is enriched with bromine, iodine, cations of lithium, manganese, strontium, calcium, iron , magnesium, barium. This composition helps to heal the motor and peripheral nervous systems of the body. People often come here for post-traumatic rehabilitation, as well as to relieve stress syndrome. Doctors regularly refer patients with complex diseases such as multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy to this health resort.
Holidays in winter
Fans of ski resorts can visit the eastern slopes of the Alpine mountains, which are partially located in the northeastern regions of the country. Several winter resorts are well developed in Croatia. The most visited are:
Slieme
The highest point of the Medvednica mountain range, which gave Croats the opportunity to enjoy the winter not only with majestic snow-white peaks, but also to actively relax, going down its slopes on skis, snowboards and other devices. The ski resort is located almost near Zagreb and is connected to the capital by many means of transport, including the cable car, which makes it easier for tourists to get here at any time convenient for them. You can ski on the slopes of this resort not only at any time of the day, but also at night, since an ideal night lighting system has been created here. Another advantage of this place is one of the slopes, on which it is possible to create artificial snow. It is open all year round, so a beach holiday in Croatia can be unexpectedly diversified with winter skiing in the mountains.
Although this country is popular among European holidaymakers, a budget holiday in Croatia is still possible. To do this, it is enough to choose the right season, resort and accommodation, as well as save on some services, which we will talk about in more detail.
Correct dates and resorts
The peak season (and therefore prices) in Croatia falls in July-August, but in June and September the cost of housing and food decreases by 15-20% on average. At this time, there are still or already fewer vacationers at the resorts, so prices are more affordable.
In July and September the weather is most stable in southern Dalmatia. You can look for budget accommodation options here in the vicinity of the ancient city.
Choosing budget accommodation
The cheapest apartments in Croatia are on 3-4 coastlines. But not during the peak season in small towns you can manage to find acceptable options closer to the beach.
Don’t get carried away with saving too much and carefully check the distance to the sea on maps so that it doesn’t turn out that transport costs will take away all the savings.
Some 3* hotels can compete in prices with apartments, although such offers will most likely be inferior in quality.
Travel experts use several tricks to save extra money when traveling:
- Always book your flight/travel and accommodation as early as possible. Yes, it is not always possible to decide on the dates of a vacation six months before, but such planning often helps save up to 50% of funds.
- It will be more profitable to eat in cafes and restaurants away from the beaches; if possible, try to go deeper into areas where locals live. If you plan to live in an apartment with a kitchen, then it is more profitable to cook yourself.
- You can see the main attractions of the country on your own. The infrastructure here is well developed with reasonable prices for bus tickets. It is better to visit national parks this way, but to get acquainted with historical sights, you can take a guided tour. Many Croatian agencies organizing such tours offer discounts when purchasing multiple packages.
Cutting down on spending is great, but don't get carried away with saving. Still, you are going on vacation, the task of which is to charge you with positivity, energy and impressions for the future. Therefore, save in moderation without disturbing your own comfort, and then you will have the perfect vacation!
