We rested in Brela at the end of September, for a week. We were very lucky with the weather (which, in general, is not typical for this time) - there was not one cloudy day. Air temperature - 25-27 degrees, water - 22.
If you are focused on a beach holiday and first of all appreciate the cleanest, most transparent sea, as well as the beauty of the surrounding nature and solitude - you are here. The famous Punta Rata beach, which stretches for several kilometers and has a Blue Flag, was included in the top ten most beautiful beaches in the world in 2004 by Forbs magazine.
The hotel was chosen based on online reviews. They were very satisfied. Fully corresponds to its 4 *. In 2006 Blusan Soline was completely updated. If you can afford it, take a room with a sea view. The hotel operates under the Half Board system. Drinks at dinner for an additional fee. The food is very decent.

In Brela itself there are many cafes and restaurants (in Croatia they are called "konoba") serving excellent seafood and good white wine. True European prices. A dinner for two with wine costs an average of 300-400 kunas (approximately 75-100 dollars). But, believe me, it's worth it.
Since they were not in Croatia for the first time, they were not particularly eager for excursions. In 2007, we were in South Dalmatia, not far from Dubrovnik, so we already managed to see something (both Dubrovnik, and the island of Mljet, and swim on the Dolores yacht with swims in the grottoes and on the Elaphite islands). We chose an excursion to Split-Trogir. Many people probably know that Split is famous for the palace of Diakletian (the Roman emperor, who renounced the throne and lived out his life growing cabbages, a kind of modern "downshifter"). Those who have been to Rome say that Split is somewhat similar to it. A beautiful embankment paved with white stone, which is mined on the island of Brac. By the way, the White House in Washington was built from this stone.
Trogir - a small town, is under the protection of UNESCO, famous for the Cathedral of St. Lovro, Palazzo Chipico.
Croatia was under the rule of the Venetians for 400 years, so the architecture is very reminiscent of Italian.
Guides, as a rule, actively offer an excursion to Plitvice Lakes. If you want to go there within 4 hours and, accordingly, 4 hours back - go. The favorite saying of all guides and tourists who have read Croatian guidebooks is "He who has not seen Plitvice Lakes has not seen Croatia. " We decided to postpone Plitvice for the next time, and I think this did not affect the impressions that the holiday in Croatia made on us.
In Croatia, you need to relax, enjoying the Adriatic, the sun, amazing nature, excellent Mediterranean cuisine, good wine. Well, if someone thinks that they will recognize Croatia through the glass of a sightseeing bus, then believe me - they are very mistaken.
Have a good rest and wish you to fall in love with Croatia so that you will come back here more than once.
