Travel guide Dalmatia
2,600 hours of sunshine per year
Dalmatia is known for its particularly sunny climate and presents you with numerous pearls of the Adriatic - including holiday homes and apartments directly on the coast. At its peak, the region enjoys around 2,600 hours of sunshine annually. In summer, there is little rainfall and fantastic conditions for your vacation.
More than just Cevapcici
Enjoying a vacation with a holiday home or apartment also means going on a culinary journey of discovery! In Croatia, you will encounter classic specialties such as truffles, olive oils, Cevapcici, Pršut, Paski-Sir cheese, or the cheese from the sheep of the island
Pag. Due to its Mediterranean location, numerous fish dishes and seafood can be found on the menus of local restaurants. Try freshly caught lobster, scampi, sepia, calamari, or squid in countless variations. Brudet, a mixture of fish varieties mixed with crabs or mussels and seasoned with Niner or Pager salt, is considered the main dish of the Dalmatians. Also typical for Dalmatia is Ninski šokol, a dry pork neck that is doused with red wine. Popular wine varieties include Babić, Malvazija, vrbnička Žlahtina, or Prošek. If you prefer something sweeter, you can taste the Maraschino liqueur, which is often served as an aperitif. For dessert, locals eat dried figs, almond cake, pieces of Skradiner cake, or Zizule.
Islands, waterfalls, bays
If you arrive by car and have a four-legged friend in tow, you can also book a
holiday with a dog in Dalmatia. The dreamlike region is perfect for an extended family vacation with a holiday home or apartment. Visit the beautiful beaches that gently slope and are well maintained. You can relax to your heart's content on idyllic bays and bizarre rocks, splash around in crystal-clear water, or set off on boat tours. The beaches of the island of Brac or on the
Makarska Riviera are particularly popular. A trip to Krka National Park with its seven impressive waterfalls is also recommended.
