Croatia holidays offer "outstanding value" for tourists

Opting for a Croatia holiday this summer could see you take advantage of the outstanding value on offer in the region.

The Balkan nation may be set to join the European Union in 2013, but until then, the exchange rate of the CroatianKunar means holidaymakers could enjoy a low-cost holiday in the region.

Writing in the Manchester Evening News, Neil Leigh was eager to highlight the value-for-money that a trip to the region provided.

"The Croatian kunar offers outstanding value in comparison to the Eurozone and hard-pressed pound," he explained.

"Outstanding value for money was to be found wherever we went during our time in the country, be it for drinks or ice creams...the list was endless."

The affordable nature of a visit to the Balkan region could prove ideal for anyone planning a sailing holiday in Croatia.

After all, the impressive array of Adriatic cruises available up and down the Dalmatian coast make this a distinct possibility for visitors.

Cities like Dubrovnik, Split and Hvar meanwhile offer a chance to explore the stunning architecture and unique culture of Croatia – all at a reasonable price.

This summer sees the likes of De La Soul, DJ Yoda and Fat Freddy's Drop descend on the region too as part of the line-up of impressive music festivals.
