10 reasons for spending summer 2022 in Croatia

You are still debating with your family and friends, where to spend your 2022 summer sailing holiday? You are overworked and just want vitamin sea, vitamin sun and good food and wine? In that case Croatia is a perfect place to spend your summer 2022 vacation! Here are 10 reasons why to travel to Croatia and sail along the coast in summer 2022:

1. CROATIA IS GOOD CONNECTED WITH OTHER COUNTRIES

From March to November the Croatian airports are working non-stop and welcoming foreigners every day. You can fly directly from various cities in Europe. If you are on a budget, you can always book your low-cost flights via Ryanair or EasyJet, from a city in Europe to Zadar, Split or even Zagreb. For all those who are afraid of the height and airplanes, or those who just want to travel the old-fashion way with the car, there are our new highways. If you want to spend as less time as possible driving, we advise you to drive on our "autocesta". If you are not in a hurry, please drive on our "stara cesta" and enjoy the beautiful places, sea and nature. There are also other possibilities to enter Croatia, like train, bus and ferry. 

2. NATURE

Once you enter Croatia ,whether via plane, car or other, the first thing that you will notice is the beautiful nature around you. Green forests and trees, blue sea and rivers and white old stone houses will welcome you once you enter Dalmatia and its islands. Croatia is full of natures treasures and we would definitely recommend you to visit some of our national parks, mountains, caves, rivers, lakes and hidden beaches.

3. ISLANDS AND NAUTICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

With its 5,800 km of coastline, 4,000 km of which belong to islands, cliffs and reefs, the Adriatic coast of Croatia is the most indented one on the Mediterranean. There are over 1,000 islands and only 50 of them are populated, while each island and even each place on the same island is diverse - the world for itself. Croatia has an extensive nautical infrastructure, which makes sailing enjoyable and safe at the same time. There are over 50 marinas, which, in addition to leisure ports and harbors, make more than 100 places where you can berth along the eastern Adriatic coast. In general, Croatian marinas are well-built and placed in great locations, either in large towns or in some beautiful bay on an island. Apart from safe berth, they offer a wide range of other services: toilet facilities, laundry services, restaurants, cafés, etc.

4. HISTORY ON EVERY CORNER

 Croatia, especially Dalmatia has many old monuments, castles, palaces, museums, fortresses... Wherever you decide to go, you will find history on every corner of that city - especially in Split, Kaštela and Solin.

5. GOOD FOOD AND WINE

Croatians are real hedonists, especially gourmets. As you already know we enjoy a good meal and a good wine - both plays a big role in our culture. If you want to eat good and high quality food, you must visit Croatia and try our Mediterranean cuisine. If you would like to read some tips about this topic, please find them in our previous articles.

6. FRIENDLY AND WARM PEOPLE

Croatians love to socialise and visit their friends and family. We are quit hospitable and will try to be exceptional hosts. We will make an effort to overcome language barriers and show our warmth through hospitality. We just  enjoy a good company and a good coffee. If you ever need any help, please feel free to ask any locals nearby and they will happily help you.

7. THE "POMALO" WAY OF LIVING

People on the coast have have their "pomalo" way of living. We don't like to rush. There is no point of rushing - especially while we are drinking our coffee :)

9. AFFORDABLE TO VISIT

Contrary to the popular belief, chartering a sailing boat and spending a week aboard is not only for rich people. Boat charter prices are set per week and per boat, and when you divide it by the number of people that the boat can accommodate, it turns out that it is not that expensive. Furthermore, the prices are lower if you don't pick the peak of a season.
