Can you afford to travel to Croatia this year? Prices in Croatia have been creeping up, the dollar is in a free fall but the answer is a resounding yes, you can afford Croatia. How? Well, it takes a little planning and maybe an attitude adjustment. Do you really need to feast on fish in Croatia? Maybe at $40 for a plate of seafood, you can save it for a splurge and fuel yourself with delicious pizza, pasta and risotto. Must you stay in a hotel? You can save a bundle if you stay in private accommodation. Can you tweak your vacation schedule a few weeks to avoid the peak July-August period? You’ll find fewer tourists and lower prices outside of the summer mad season. Why not explore one of the lesser-known national parks such as Paklenica or Risnjak? And if you avoid the trendiest southern Dalmatia islands and head to, let’s say, the Sibenik archipelago you’ll pay less and see more of the real and unfiltered Croatia.
