Glorious summers
A
holiday with a dog on the southern Adriatic? A great idea! Many holidaymakers also like to bring their four-legged friends to enjoy the fantastic climatic conditions together. Numerous landlords of holiday apartments and houses are already prepared for pets. The climate is characterized by very warm, dry, and rainless summers. Winters can be rainy and humid. In the summer, there are stable, weakly windy weather conditions. In winter, the
southern Adriatic is under the influence of low-pressure areas from the Atlantic. Summer is the ideal time to enjoy a fantastic holiday with a cozy accommodation, preferably with air conditioning, on Solta. Whether it's the main season or the off-season in Croatia, there is always plenty to experience for adults and children.
Get to know the cuisine in Konobas
You can get to know the culinary delights of the region in the Konobas, small traditional taverns. Homemade wine is often offered there as well. Typical for
Dalmatia is, for example, Pasticada, a Mediterranean variant of goulash served on noodles or Njoki. If you prefer something more unusual, you can try Salata od Hobotnice (octopus salad) or Brudet (Dalmatian fish stew). Skarpina, Zubatac, Orada pod Pekom are names for dragonhead, toothed bream, and gilt-head bream, which are baked under a clay bell. Dalmatian ham (Dalmatinksi Prsut) is also delicious, dried by the cold, dry Bora wind and given a unique flavor. Particularly worth mentioning are the Konobas Sesula and Martinis Marchi in Maslinica on Solta. The Buena Vista and Mendula cafes in Grohote are cozy places to visit.
