February Half Term to Croatia

These bases combine manageable transfers with activities that work well for children during a school break.

• Brac island (Bol): The pebble beach changes shape with wind and currents, and its shallow approach suits younger children even when the water is cool. Many seafront businesses are closed in February, so families should plan around the open hotels and cafés. We suggest Bol for a calm, slower-paced family base. It is exactly the brief our Croatia Family Holidays deals are built around.
• Also worth knowing: The palace complex is walkable for families, and ferry links to the islands make a day trip manageable. Winter weather can be wet, so indoor museums are a useful backup. It is one of the most practical family bases for a February week.
• Zagreb: Zagreb is the capital and its compact centre makes it easy for families to walk, use public transport and reach indoor attractions. The city has parks and a direct airport bus, which cuts out the need for a long transfer on arrival. Inland temperatures run cooler than those found by the Adriatic shoreline, so pack warm clothing. It suits families who want a city break rather than a beach stay. It is exactly the brief our Croatia All Inclusive Holidays deals are built around.
• Krka National Park: Krka National Park lies near Sibenik and offers travertine waterfalls, boardwalks and designated swimming areas. In February the swimming is not practical, but the walkways and waterfalls make a full day out for children who enjoy being outdoors. Boat links help reach the park, though winter timetables are reduced. It is a strong day-trip option for families based on the central seaside stretch of the Adriatic.

• Plitvice Lakes National Park: Plitvice Lakes National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with sixteen lakes linked by waterfalls and boardwalks. In winter the inland climate is cooler and snow is possible, so the paths can be slippery and some facilities are reduced. Routes vary in length to suit different ages, and the boat and shuttle transfers inside the park add variety. We recommend it for families who can handle a cold, outdoor day.
