In negotiation between argonauts and Apsyrtides Jason killed, cuted up and threw Apsyrtides into the sea.

    The northern part of Adriatic Sea

    The northern part of the Adriatic Sea (Istria and Kvarner) has been more easily accessible to tourists while Dalmatia – due to its preaty poor road links – has a shorter but more intensive season, in July and August. Dalmatian coast is still sparsely inhabited and underdeveloped, and therefore preserved in an untouched natural condition.
    Although the littoral region and submarine areas already offer a range of attractive locations for both rest and diving, those familiar with the Croatian coastline are aware of the fact that the natural and cultural wealth of this part of the Adriatic still to be discovered are yet to show the true value of the Adriatic.

    The best time to visit and stay on the Croatian coast is from April to October. The air temperature in summer reaches up to 38 degrees C and the temperature of the sea is in this period pleasant 26 degrees. High season (July and August) offers guests who want to party a lot of unforgettable experiences, but also those who wish to relax can find a quiet corner. March brings us spring sun, but rain during this spoiled us som holiday day. Early autumn (September and October) is ideal for guests who wish to rest. During the off-season beaches are no longer overcrowded bathers, the weather is still stable, the temperature of the sea nice. In winter it is necessary to have warm clothes, although temperatures almost never drop to zero.
