I would like to visit Croatia at the beginning of September. We are a party of
4. I would like to hire a small day-boat for around 6 days.

Where should we stay?

I have only just begun to research our holiday thus any advice or suggestions
would be greatly appreciated! We are hoping to keep costs low.
Is Croatia suitable? Should we look elsewhere?

Thanks in advance!!

I'd like to visit Croatia at the beginning of September for around 10 days. I
don't really know anything about Croatia so would welcome any suggestions on
where would be best.
I would like to keep costs low. How much does accommodation cost in Croatia. Is
going out cheap?
We would ideally like to stay in a town with lots of quaint tavernas which is
also safe at night. We are all in our low-twenties and would love a mix of
adventure / sightseeing. Is it very easy to hire small day-boats? Does the area
cater well for tourists?

As you can probably tell, I really don't know much about Croatia. I would like
to learn though. As I've already said, please let me know what it's really like
and whether it would be suitable for 4 students.

Thanks in advance!!

Biograd is beautiful, but if you'd really like to experience sailing and
nature, visiting national park Kornati (close to city of Zadar) is
definitely a must. Check this website : http://www.kornati.hr/

I spend every summer there as my wife still has parents living on island
named 'Dugi otok' (translated in English that would be 'Long Island')....

Niall, I'll send you a mail soon with some numbers and e-mail addresses
of my friends there where you can get more info....

I spent a week sailing around the Biograd area with my wife (who has never
sailed before). The two of us were in a Oceanis 331 from Sunsail who have a
base in the Marina in Biograd. It is definitely recommended and if you like
there are flotillas that you can join which will give you all the support
you want.

Biograd was also very good in the evenings and the whole area is influenced
by the Italian scene. The bars really get fired up at around 11:00 when all
the 20/30 somethings come out to pose and watch others doing similar.

I would try www.sunsail.com for some good assistance for the boats. There
are also alot hotels and guets houses in the area.

Best regards

Totally agree with you, we went all around the Kornati's during the week.
The sailing was really easy, no more that F4/5's and generally less. The
seas were pretty flat as well. We also saw some dolphins !

What more does a man/woman need to be convinced ?

Cheers

It's really relaxing. Usually there's no strong winds or storms during
summertime. Occasional quick storms are possible but it's always easy to
find some place to hide. If you ever come to visit again, send me an
email. I'm located in small village called Sali on SE part of Dugi Otok
island during August.
