Samograd Cave Perušic
Samograd Cave Perušic, a cave in Lika & Gorski Kotar, Croatia. Map, directions, history and what to know before you go.
Underground and out of the heat, Samograd Cave Perušic is a cave worth a detour if you are in the area.
Good to know
Samograd Cave Perušic stands in Lika & Gorski Kotar, 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.
Caves hold a steady chill, around 10 to 14 degrees all year, so bring a jacket even in midsummer. Some only open in season and need a guide.
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.
