Weather in Croatia in November

Some parts of the country hold on to milder conditions well into the autumn, and these are the places we would look at first.

• Dubrovnik: Dubrovnik sits on the southern Dalmatian coast and typically keeps the mildest November temperatures in the country, which makes walking the city walls a comfortable choice. Expect shorter days and some showers, but the sheltered coastline generally stays pleasant for sightseeing. We would book here for travellers who want warmth and culture in equal measure. Dubrovnik holidays suit travellers who want a warm, culture-led autumn break.
• Hvar island: Hvar is one of the sunnier islands in Croatia, and its harbour and waterfront usually stay mild enough for relaxed afternoons outdoors in November. Ferry crossings from the mainland port run less frequently than in summer, so you will need to plan your journeys around the timetable. Some seasonal bars and restaurants close, so choose accommodation with reliable services. This is the kind of quiet, sunshine-led brief our Croatia All Inclusive Holidays are built around, so we would book Hvar for an island stay with good sunshine odds.
• Korcula island: Korcula's walled island town benefits from the sea's moderating effect and typically offers gentle daytime conditions in November. It is reached by ferry from Orebic and from the larger city to the south, and sailings thin out later in the year. Evenings can be cool, so bring a jacket for harbour dining. We would recommend Korcula to travellers who want a calm base in the southern islands, the same brief our Croatia Adults Only Holidays deals are built around.
• Split: Split is a large coastal city with a mild climate that usually stays comfortable for walking through Diocletian's Palace in November. Its ferry terminal connects to the islands, giving you options even when the weather turns. Rainy spells are more frequent, so keep a waterproof handy. We would book Split for a lively city base that works well for day trips.
• Makarska Riviera: The Makarska Riviera on the central coast typically offers mild autumn days, with the mountains behind the town providing shelter from some of the wind. Beach swimming is generally off the table by November, but coastal walks are very pleasant. Public transport runs less frequently out of season, so hire a car if you plan to explore. We would book here for a relaxed coastal break with scenery and quiet promenades, the same kind of brief our Croatia Family Holidays deals are built around.
