Cheap Holidays from Birmingham to Croatia

Mainland and island resorts that give strong value for money from Birmingham.

• Split: Split is the second-largest city in Croatia and works well as a value base because accommodation in the centre is often cheaper than on the islands. Ferries leave from the harbour to nearby islands, so you can join island day trips without paying island-resort prices for your room. Our judgement is that Split suits travellers who want a lively working city, regular transport and a budget-friendly stay close to the sea.
• Zagreb: Zagreb is the capital and largest city, and it is connected to the airport by a direct bus, which makes it one of the simplest and least costly transfers from Birmingham. Its historic upper town of Gradec and St Mark's Square can be explored on foot, with museums and cafes filling the evenings at moderate prices. We see Zagreb as a sensible choice for a budget city break that trades beach time for culture and easy getting around. It is exactly the brief our Cheap Croatia Holidays deals are built around.
• Hvar: Hvar is one of the sunniest places in Croatia and is reached by ferry from the mainland port city, so the island itself is usually more expensive to stay on than the coast. The trade-off is a lively harbour town, lavender fields and beaches that many visitors rate highly. We recommend Hvar for travellers willing to pay a little more for island sunshine, ideally booked early to secure a better rate. It is exactly the brief our Hvar holidays deals are built around.
• Bol on Brac: Bol on Brac is a beach resort reached by ferry from the Dalmatian mainland city, and it offers a gentler and often more affordable island stay than the best-known party islands. The approach to its beaches is shallow, which suits families and budget-minded holidaymakers who want a relaxed base. We think Bol gives good value for a simple seaside holiday with ferry access to the rest of the coast.
• Trogir: Trogir is a small medieval old town on an island with a UNESCO-listed historic centre, and it sits only a short drive from the bustling city across the water. Staying here can cost less than the busiest towns on the coast while still giving you access to the ferries and transport links nearby. For travellers who value history and a quieter evening over a seafront party, Trogir is a practical low-cost base, the same kind of brief our Croatia holidays deals are built around.
