Lim Fjord

Nature carved Lim Fjord over millennia, and it still looks the part.

History and background

fjord bay

Good to know

Lim Fjord stands in Istria, one of the six regions that make up the Croatia most visitors fall for. From the Adriatic shore to the karst mountains and the quiet inland valleys, this part of the country gives you something worth the detour.

Pack water and shade, these spots rarely have either.

Practical info

• Entry: check the official source before you travel. Prices and opening hours change, and some spots close entirely out of season.
• How to get there: Use the OpenStreetMap and Google Maps links above for directions. Public transport to remote spots is thin, so a car or an organised tour is usually the easiest option.

Best time to visit

Croatia is at its best from May to October. June and September are the sweet spot, warm water, long days, and thinner crowds than high July and August. Winter shows a quieter, cheaper and surprisingly handsome country, especially inland and in the cities.
