October 18, 2022 - The second half of October has been surprisingly warm and sunny in Croatia. With temperatures still reaching the mid-twenties, you might as well head south and catch some sun at the beach. If you are like us, though, and your body and soul are ready for the weather to become colder and foggier, you enjoy the sun but secretly want to wear your favourite sweater, you'll be looking for something a little bit more cosy and autumnal to do. We'll cover both, just in case. An overview of the remaining October events to get you through this pre-autumn time.
