Some might say yes but if you ask a person that really knows the country, they will tell you the best summervacations in Croatia ask for no paid excursions.
Swipe to see 10 FREE things to do in Croatia!
1. Eye of the earth or Cetina’s eye: Free of charge and also very off the beaten path since it’s quite far from the knows touristic villages. But spoiler: the one hour ride from Sibenik alone is mad from start to finish. (Combine with Holy Salvation church)
2. Skradin beach: a beach by the Krka river with free umbrellas and a view to die for. Playground and affordable foods available.
3. Visit the OPG’s: Not really free but you can discover, test & buy great local products at great prices. Sibenik-Knin? Think wine, prsut, natural beauty products, cheeses, honey, fruits, vegetables, …
4. Paddleboard by sunset: my favorite beach for paddling? Brodarica! You get a stunning view of Krapanj island for free. (For visitors of , free use of paddleboards)
5. Visovac island: Fair enough … only free on Sunday. Travelhack: this island in the middle of Krka NP can be visited for free by boat on Sunday mornings.
6. Krcic: One of the most beautiful waterfalls in Croatia. No entrance, you can swim, wonderful educational trail, every 5 minutes a stunning viewpoint, loads of picknickspots & hardly any visitors
7. Cikola canyon: hike the 3km trail, about 1.5 hour and get treated to some mad sights. Enjoy a sunset picknick after.
8. Hike the Krka Canyon: Yes, you can do this for free, actually you only need to pay for very little sights in the NP
9. Vrlika Fortress: Wonderful road over there, wonderful town, big free parking and amazing fortress to visit. (Don’t go with kids under 6 years old due to steep drops)
10. Saint-Nicolas Fortress: walk over two footbridges over the sea to the fortress. On Skoljic island (where the first footpath stops) you can explore bunkers.
