1. Camping holiday in Croatia by the sea
Croatia can be reached in just a few hours driving time from Italy or Germany. In terms of traffic, the country has made great strides over the past decade by building a network of new motorway sections and is therefore a popular destination for motorhome travel.
2. The climate in Croatia and the festivals
With the mild and very pleasant Mediterranean climate in Croatia and an extremely diverse landscape in the continental part, which ranges from magical green hills and mountains to rapids, lakes and nature parks, Croatia offers unique experiences. Croatia also has to offer numerous film, theater, music and dance festivals as well as exhibitions and various cultural events during the year. This is especially true in summer when the weather is perfect and international and local artists perform in historic buildings such as the arena in Pula, the peristyle in Split or within the walls of Dubrovnik.
At the many charming little folk festivals you should definitely enjoy the light and healthy Mediterranean cuisine, refined with a few drops of excellent olive oil and rounded off with a few glasses of indigenous wines. It all adds up to a long list of arguments in favor of a camping holiday in Croatia!
