Seasons in Croatia

Croatia is a country that’s famous for it’s Summer. The often hot atmosphere being refreshed by taking a dip in one of numerous beaches that litter the coast of the country. It’s safe to say Summer is both a fun, exciting time to visit due to the clean inviting beaches and various excursions you can take part in.

But for those of us that can’t stand the heat that well, visiting Croatia during the off season could be a lot more fun. The various seasons offering different yet beautiful things for you to enjoy and witness. Whether you decide to come visit during the blazing hot Summer period or the cold (and possibly snowy) Winter period that makes the numerous towns/cities flourish with excitement whenever you decide to come visit this beautiful country of Croatia.

Spring for instance offers a rather warm atmosphere and beautiful scenery to admire. The flowers blooming, the birds singing, it truly brings a serene atmosphere to it. The season also inspiring some people to do some Spring cleaning in before Easter begins, one of the most famous holidays in the season.

Easter, (Cro: Uskrs) is a festival/holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus. An interesting thing about the holiday is that it doesn’t fall into a specific date, the holiday date being chosen by a combination of various factors. Often the week before Easter being referred to as the Holy Week, whilst the date is decided often as the first ecclesiastical full moon that occurs shortly after or on 21st March.

Easter is often a public holiday in countries where Christianity is a state religion, but Croatia defines freedom of religion. The celebration of Easter is similar to the rest of the world, families organizing feasts and boiling eggs before decorating them; being one of the oldest traditions. Easter also has a popular legendary figure depicting an anthropomorphic Easter Bunny that gives out chocolate eggs.

Autumn is one of those seasons that make you feel drowsy as all you want to do is crawl into a warm bed. The season announcing it’s arrival by trees shedding their beautiful leaves along with the air becoming noticeably cooler.

Autumn, or Fall if you prefer to call it is one of the most beautiful seasons. As the trees start to shed their leaves, they change colours; making almost every lake look stunning like a painting.

The cold frigid air often not liked by many, but for people such as myself this season is bliss. Winter signaling a start of various things, holidays, warm blankets, hot chocolate, and many more exciting and often soothing activities.

As for the other exciting or rather relaxing things about Winter in Croatia would be the growing Christmas market that blooms in the main cities of Croatia.

Little decorative “houses” springing in the main districts where local vendors sell their wares, along with boiled wine; which is quite popular among the older generation.
