Let’s talk sunshine!!  The island of Hvar off the Dalmatian coast is the island with the most hours of sunshine in Europe – more than 2,800 hours a year.  You’ll be happy to know this is the region where we offer self catering accommodations with lots of lovely air con units :D

The coast has a typically Mediterranean climate consisting of hot, dry, sunny weather during summer, and relatively mild.  Average temperatures during summer should reach the mid-to-high 20s °C, although it is more likely that you’ll have temperatures well into the 30s °C.

 If you think Trogir and this stunning part of Dalmatia are somewhere you might like to visit do get in touch with us at ARC Rentals.  We specialise in holiday lettings on the island of Ciovo. Since 2004 we have managed a variety of 3 & 4 star properties, awarded by Croatian Tourist Board, on behalf of property owners. We carefully select the apartments that we promote as they must meet our high standards and they are only 15 minutes from Split airport.  Find out more at our website - www.split-rentals.com

So when will Croatia adopt the Euro as their currency?  While there isn’t a specific timeframe, Croatia’s government has adopted a new strategy that should see the Euro implemented in the coming 5 years.  This new strategy sets out the costs for switching to the euro and the economic benefits, while also confirming the process that will be followed, although no commitment to the timeframe is officially made.

Many small businesses in Croatia had debts denominated in euros before EU accession. Croatian people already use the euro for most savings and many informal transactions. Real estate, motor vehicle and accommodation prices are mostly quoted in euros.

Our guests ask us a lot about what currency to bring and for the moment the Kuna is widely used in restaurants, bars and tourists spots in Croatia.  You can exchange Euro and other currencies in commission free booths which can be cost effective (as long as you don’t loose the cash while travelling).  

We are excited about Croatia adopting the Euro and look forward to it.  If you think Trogir and this stunning part of Dalmatia are somewhere you might like to visit do get in touch with us at ARC Rentals.  We specialise in holiday lettings on the island of Ciovo in Split, Croatia.
