Local tip for booking

If you're headed to Croatia in high season, especially June through August, look beyond the main tourist strips for top rated accommodations. In Split, for example, consider places near Varos or even up towards the Marjan hill area. You get quieter streets but still easy access to the old city and waterfront. Also, don’t hesitate to ask hosts directly about parking if you’re renting a car. Many well-rated spots include parking, which can be a rare and valuable bonus in crowded coastal towns.
