Croatia has a varied climate, influenced by both the sea and the interior. The country lies in the temperate and subtropical climate zones, which means that the climate differs depending on where you are.

Inland, the climate is more temperate, with more distinct seasons and greater temperature differences between summer and winter. This makes Croatia a travel destination with both warm summer holidays along the coast and a more varied climate inland.
