Here are a few reasons why you should spend your family holiday in Croatia:
1. Fantastic beaches and clear sea
Croatia is known for its breathtaking coastline, which boasts numerous beautiful beaches. The Adriatic Sea beckons with its crystal clear, turquoise waters, ideal for swimming, snorkelling and other water sports in your family holiday. Many beaches in Croatia have shallow slopes and are therefore particularly safe for children. Families can build sandcastles together, splash in the water or simply enjoy the sun and sea. When planning your trip, pay attention to which beach your holiday destination has. There are many beaches in Croatia that do not have sand but gravel, so we recommend packing bathing shoes.
2. Variety of outdoor activities
Croatia offers a wealth of outdoor activities specially designed for families. You can explore national parks together, such as the Plitvice Lakes National Park, where you can discover impressive waterfalls and beautiful hiking trails. Krka National Park is another highlight, inviting you to swim and explore with its natural pools and waterfalls during your family holiday. There are also plenty of opportunities for cycling, hiking and kayaking to experience Croatia's natural beauty first hand.
3. Family-friendly accommodation and facilities
Croatia has a wide range of family-friendly accommodation, including hotels, resorts, holiday homes and campsites. Many of these accommodations offer special facilities for children such as playgrounds, pools and children's clubs. Croatian hospitality and a child-friendly atmosphere make it easy to feel comfortable and welcome on a family holiday. As a family, you can also simply rent a small house with a pool, where you as parents can then relax in comfort, the dog can run free and the children can romp in the pool.
4. Cultural and historical treasures
Croatia has a rich history and offers many cultural and historical treasures to explore in your family holiday. Visit the charming city of Dubrovnik with its well-preserved city walls and historic buildings or explore the Roman amphitheatre in Pula. In Split, you can visit Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These sights not only offer a fascinating journey into the past, but also educational experiences for the whole family.
