Croatia is at its most inviting between May and October, with June and September offering a wonderful balance of warm weather, comfortable temperatures and a more relaxed pace. July and August bring the full summer atmosphere, when Hvar Town, Split and Dubrovnik are at their liveliest, with beach clubs, restaurants and nightlife. For a quieter experience, we would steer towards Vis, Lastovo and the more secluded bays of southern Dalmatia, where the rhythm is slower and the evenings are wonderfully peaceful.
The gentle Maestral often creates pleasant afternoon breezes, while Bora can make exposed passages livelier. Choose July and August for social energy; June and September are perfect for swimming, peaceful anchorages and unhurried island-hopping.
BOL - home to the beautiful beach of Zlatni Rat, one of the most visited towns on the Croatian island of Brac. The cape stretches out to carve a V shape in the turquoise sea, shifting its pattern with the wind and water and making it a favorite with charter guests. Backed with hills, the Illyrian fortress Kastilo, and the pristine peaks of the Vidova Gora, Bol sets the scene for a quaint sea splashed stay. The old town is dotted with stony houses and in the port you can find a 15th century palace with ornate gothic windows. Visit local wineries, step back in time at the 16th century Blaca Monastery, and explore the gothic churches, galleries, and local markets.

Šolta is situated about nineteen nautical miles from Split. The island is another of those unique places in Dalmatia where the traditional Croatian way of life has largely been preserved. This means that fishing is the main industry on the island, donkeys are still a viable method of transportation, and locals can be exceptionally generous, welcoming and warm to visitors on the island. It also means that the speed of life here is markedly slower than in other areas of Croatia, which in itself is quite a feat. This slow pace of life creates a perfect atmosphere for a leisurely stop in your itinerary.

The fabulous island of Hvar is known as the 'Queen of the Dalmatian Islands,' and if this is the case, then her royal retinue is the Pakleni Islands to the south west, filled with serene coves and beaches to escape from the lively bars and clubs in Hvar town, which party long into the early hours of the morning.
