Find out how to enjoy September in Croatia to make your postseason vacation an experience you’ll never forget!
It’s no secret that you can have a wonderful time in Croatia at any time of year. From mesmerizing islands and coastal towns to ravishing parks and dazzling medieval villages, Croatia has everything you need to get the best vacation experience whenever you decide to visit. Nevertheless, traditionally, Croatia’s travel periods can be split up into three seasons: preseason, in season and postseason – also known as the shoulder season.
Postseason in Croatia means that the summer craziness is over, budget flights are back on track, the weather is still warm and tourists are down to a more manageable level. There are no problems getting a table in an elegant restaurant and no big queues in Spar and other supermarkets. The beaches, islands and riversides are also much quieter and calm.
Croatia Weather in September
Croatia weather in September allows you to sleep comfortably and get the best out of the cooler mornings and evenings while enjoying warm daily temperatures. For example, Dubrovnik’s average temperature in September is 16-19°C, with the highest still a pleasant 24°C during the day and with sea temperatures around the ideal 23°C.
Unlike the preseason, when the sea is still chilly, September is the perfect time of the year to spend amazing days at the beach or visit some of the most stunning inlets the islands have to offer without experiencing the stress of the crowds.
Luxury holiday on a budget
To get the most out of your September holiday in Croatia, an essential ingredient is undeniably a luxury villa in Croatia. In the shoulder season, luxury holiday homes have more availability, the same quality, but lower prices! Depending on your needs, you can find the perfect hooneymoon destinations, villas with a pool in Dalmatia, Istria, or even inland and experience a perfect getaway with your loved ones.
For those of you that plan on spending most of the time enjoying the lavishness of your villa the best option is to book one with numerous facilities. Postseason in Croatia means that you can book a budget flight and villa to get everything you want for a cheaper price – an outside pool, sauna, jacuzzi, home gym, barbecue, top-notch kitchen amenities, unlimited Wi-Fi and much more – making September the perfect time to have a luxury holiday on a budget.
