Hi,
I'm looking at a beach holiday this August to just relax and bum around on the beach and thought Croatia looked like a good place to do just that.
Does anyone have any info on if August is a good month to go to Croatia, such as weather, crowds etc?
My initial plan is to stay at a hostel to meet new people and after I get fed up of the beach, to do a bit of traveling around the country.
Thanks,
Weather is hot, crowds are big. But if you want to relax on the beach that's the month.
I think you'll want to make some reservations in advance for the high season, especially if you need to stick to a moderate budget.
Croatia is beautiful, but hot in August. Also, the terrain is very hilly, and there are few actual beaches. There are a lot of places on the water with rocks.
If you want beaches, I suggest one of the Greek Islands.
If you want to travel in Croatia, Dubrovnik is a must see, as well as Split (also, nearby Trogir).
Zlatny Rat beach in Bol (on the island of Brac, which you can get to via ferry from Split) has a great soft, sandy beach. It's beautiful. Yes, it will be hot and crowded.
