The Best Ways to Enjoy the Weather in Croatia in November

Go Island Hopping

As the weather in Croatia in November is less favourable to many tourists, and with the month being within the low season for tourism, this means visitors at this time of the year can best enjoy island hopping in the country.

Croatia has developed a reputation for its islands which line the Dalmatia coastline, with some of the most popular including Brac, Hvar, and Korcula. Whilst many people take trips to visit these islands throughout the year, during November you won’t encounter as many visitors and will practically have the islands, and ferries, to yourself. 

Split is the best location on the mainland to discover Croatia’s islands, as ferries to multiple island destinations, including Hvar and Brac, run year-round, unlike other major cities and ports.

So, from the famed beaches of Brac to the traditional villages of Hvar, there’s much to be mesmerised by on the islands of Croatia in November.

Soak In The Hot Springs

As the temperature in Croatia in November is particularly mild, why not warm the body and soul with a visit to one of the country’s natural hot springs? 

Croatia’s mineral waters within its hot springs are considered to be some of the best quality in Europe. A number of the country’s most renowned thermal spas are situated in its central region, where geothermal activity is more concentrated. 

Also known as ‘toplice’, by locals, it's without question that one of the best autumn activities to combat the cooler weather is soaking in a hot spring. Istarske Toplice is one of Croatia’s most famous hot spring spas. This thermal health resort is situated in the central region of Istria, and visitors can expect thermal pools to soak in the mineral-rich waters, saunas to relax in, and even a beauty centre to indulge in a range of facials and body treatments.

If taking a dip despite the cooler temperatures is something you’d like to do, be sure to pack swimwear.
