The airline industry is still feeling the effects of the Covid pandemic. As flights continue to be delayed, the risk of losing a checked bag increases dramatically. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND CARRYING ON all your luggage if you can.
Known for its diverse landscapes, Croatia has everything to offer from day trips to atmospheric local towns and cities, adventures in mountains and forests, or afternoons spent lounging by the stunning and expansive coastline. It’s no wonder you’re soon to be en route to this beautiful destination.
As you plan your trip to Croatia, we want to make sure you’ll have everything you need to make the most of your experience. Whether you’re planning to spend your days overlooking the sparkling waters of the Adriatic sea, or you’re eager to raft down the Cetina River to tackle some rapids, our Croatia packing list will prepare you for your upcoming adventure.

2. Recommended Attire
When it comes to traveling, one of the most important factors to take into account is the weather of the location you will be visiting. Croatia is warm and sunny throughout the summer and that heat (think mid-70s to mid-80s) often lingers into the early Fall. Sounds pretty perfect for exploring the coastline and spending time outdoors, doesn't it?
