Preparations for the tourist season in Croatia are at their peak. According to the server Croatiavise.com, their integral part is the setting of new prices for which tourists, including those from the Czech Republic, will spend their holidays by the sea in the country.
“To begin with, it should be noted that prices will be almost at their maximum in 2024 and maybe even higher. One of the reasons is the local people’s desire to make money, the second is high inflation, which was 4.9 percent in March,” Croatiavise.com reported.
As in previous years, accommodation costs will be the highest in Dubrovnik and Split, two destinations that have long been among the most popular in Croatia.
According to Cruisecroatia.com, a four-star or five-star hotel here costs on average 200 to 350 euros (5054 to 8844 CZK) per person per night. In a high-quality mid-range hotel, the same can be purchased for around 150 euros (3,790 CZK), while in Airbnb and private apartments, according to the server, accommodation in Dubrovnik or Split will cost an average of 100 euros (2,527 CZK) per person per night this season.
In four-star and five-star restaurants in the most popular Croatian tourist destinations, such as the already mentioned Dubrovnik, Split or Hvar, according to cruisecroatia.com, one two-course dinner without drinks and tip will cost on average around 80 euros (2021 CZK), in the restaurant the middle category (three stars) will cost around 50 euros (1263 CZK).
Dinner in a typical fast food restaurant costs eight to ten euros (202 to 252 CZK). A scoop of ice cream in a restaurant or cafe costs four to five euros (101 to 126 CZK).
A mineral for a hundred
But all this is without drinks, so you need to add an average of five euros (126 CZK) to the price of the meal for a pint of local draft beer or a third of imported beer. A bottle of medium-quality wine will then cost an average of 35 euros (CZK 884). A third of mineral water costs about four euros (101 CZK) in a restaurant. For the same money, you can buy, for example, a cappuccino in a cafe, while the price of a mixed alcoholic drink or cocktail should be around ten euros (CZK 252) according to the server.
At the same time, the Cruisecroatia portal reminds that tips in Croatian restaurants, cafes and bars range from ten to 15 percent of the total spend.
For those who will be cooking on holiday in Croatia: the prices of basic food at the beginning of April were similar to ours. But with the beginning of the season and in resorts, they will most likely be higher.
