These tours feature itineraries that are carefully planned for Australian travellers, which some tours combining neighbouring countries. See from page 10 Sail & Stay Programs Boarding a cruise in Croatia is not like embarking on a typical cruise, but more like joining a floating hotel. It is a great alternative to island hopping where you ll have to negotiate the fiddly ferry system, plus there is no need to carry your baggage between hotel rooms. These cruises do not sail at night and instead dock in port so that you can spend the night exploring the destination to soak up the atmosphere or sample the local cuisine. Cruises also dock in a number of secluded bays and beaches during the day to allow you to swim and enjoy the beauty of the coast. The cruise can be booked separately or in conjunction with land packages. See from page 20 Island Hop with Ease Island-hopping is an easy and affordable way to explore some of the 400 islands scattered along Croatia s coastline. Most of the big ports are near airports, with catamarans and car ferries running daily between most islands. The short distances between the islands make it easy to visit a number of destinations. You can customise your itinerary by choosing the locations and length of stay and we ll organise the hotels and ferries for you. See from page 52 6

7 Self-Drive Programs Croatia s coastal landscape, mountains and valleys, and national parks like the Plitvice National Park imbed themselves in visitors memories. Driving through Croatia along the Adriatic Highway provides views of towns built on slopes, bays of blue water, and craggy cliffs.

Climate Along the Adriatic coast, there is mainly a Mediterranean climate with hot dry summers and mild sometimes rainy winters. Inland, the climate tends to lean towards a continental climate with warm summers and cold winters. Average Monthly Temperatures (Degrees celcius): Food Croatian food is the result of the differing cultures which have influenced the country over the years. Therefore there is no uniformity as each region has its own specialty. Some traditional dishes which are popular include the Burek, a layered pie made with meat or cheese, Piroska, a cheese doughnut from Zagreb, Brodet, mixed fish stewed with rice from the Dalmatian region, and Manistra Od Bibica, a bean and fresh maize soup from inland regions.

Tipping Tipping in Croatia is fast becoming more like other European countries, however in most situations, it is still not expected. In higher class restaurants and hotels, a tip of 10-15% is considered polite. For excellent service, we recommend a tip of A$10 for tour guides and $5 for bus drivers per day. Best Time to Travel In terms of weather the best time to go to Croatia, we d advise September or possibly May. September still has glorious, sunny weather with warm temperatures, and the sea is also still warm enough for swimming. May is also a great month, as temperatures have already risen to a pleasant level unlike July and August where the sweltering heat can make you want to lie down every half an hour. Better still, you ll avoid the crowds that come from Europe mainly In July and August.
