Croatia Travel Blog

Today’s Timesonline has a useful article about cruising the Croatian coast with kids in tow. Writer Mark Solomans cruised the coast in a gulet last summer and made some interesting points even if you don’t have kids. Here are the main points:

• There’s a mixture of nationalities on these small boats which adds an international flavour
• Cruising is informal; “there’s no need to pack socks or long trousers let alone a dinner jacket”
• Vegetarians can be accommodated but the main diet is seafood “including fish caught that morning yards from the boat, swimming in the sea,”
• It’s safe for kids with a “boat/ship (who cares?) small enough for the children to be able to jump off the sides into the sea”
• Costs are reasonable; “It’s still outside the Eurozone so you can still get a main course for under a tenner in the restaurants though the local wine tends to be pricey for anything decent”
• Tipping is practised; “allow for around 20 euros a head for the week”
• Watch out for nudity! “we had a yacht of naked men moor up alongside us near Bol beach”
• Croatia Airlines is better and cheaper than Ryanair
