Beaches are crowded, the historic centres flooded! In May, June and September, the big family tourism has not arrived or already returned! Hotels then apply low season rates, private rentals also. This is the time of flowers in spring, fruit in autumn.In April and October, it sometimes costs a little to sleep under a tent or swimming.

Kuna means marten in Croatian, a name referring to old times where the skin of this small mammal was an exchange currency and a unit of price measurement. Times have changed and the petit weasel now peacefully hidden at the bottom of the country's woods. Lipa means linden.The of the Kuna word dates back to Antiquity. In the Pannonia provinces of the Roman Empire, the fees were levied in marten skins, as they were very popular. In the Middle Ages, as many currencies are combined, one of them stands out. These are silver pieces decorated with a marten. But with Croatia's aspiration in the Dutch-Croatian kingdom, the currency disappears. Much later, in 1939, it reviewed the day and was adopted by the Government in 1941 until liberation, where it was the dinar, the Serbian currency, which replaced it. In 1994, after the independence of Croatia, the Kuna was put into circulation.Today, even though Croatia is part of the European Community, the changeover to the euro is not definitive. Many establishments adopt double-display, in euro and kunas, to facilitate price assessment. In hotels, car hire operators, tourist service providers, restaurants, bars and shops, you can pay in euros or kunas.
