Protected from the influence of a continental climate by the dinara mountains, the Croatian seashore through out the summer
month is exposed to warm winds and warm seacurrent from the south. This can be described as a typical subtropical climate.
|
Due to seacurrents from the Mediterranian sea wich flow
towards the north along the Croatian seashore, the most recent measurements of the quality of seawater taken in the waters
between Dubrovnik and Split indicate them as the cleanest in Europe and one of the cleanest in the world.
|
During the summer months, from June till
September, the temperature of the sea, is 26°-28° Celsius and the temperature of the air 28°-35° Celsius, but thanks to the
airy breeze and forests it is very pleasant.
The best is by plane (Croatia Airlines/ Lufthansa)
directly to Dubrovnik (Airport Cavtat) then by ferry from Dubrovnik to the Elaphiti Islands.
Ferry services to the Elaphiti Islands run daily.
