In the winter, especially inland, it can get pretty cold so bring a good winter coat. In February in Zagreb, I was pretty cold at times.
If you stay in a private home, it's possible that the owner may not heat the room at all. I froze my butt off in Dubrovnik on my first night in a private home.
Don't forget your camera equipment. Expect lots of sun in the summer and come prepared with all appropriate photo gear. Leave a Comment

 The Rough Guide to
Croatia by diocletianvs
One of the best, my personal favourite and in my opinion a must-have item for everyone coming to Croatia is The Rough Guide to Croatia. Ingeniously written by Jonathan Bousfield, who's been making regular visits to Croatia since 1975, this 460-page guidebook brings not only the comprehensive coverage of numerous destinations, informative and reliable info about transport possibilities and accommodation / restaurants / nightlife options but also a very authorative background on Croatia's history, culture and politics.
It will give you a brief insight about different cuisines of Croatia's regions, tips where to have the best Saturday morning coffee or tips how to survive with names of streets that change in Croatian. Learn about Croatian history - from who was Diocletian and why he retired himself to the story of Uskoks, history of Hajduk soccer club or the facts about the creation of Non-Aligned Movement on Brijuni islands. There is also a lot of info about recent history, with background info of Serbian rebelion, details about siege of Vukovar and shelling of Dubrovnik as well as of the authorative Tudjman regime and its opponents, including the Radio 101 and Feral Tribune newspaper.
Travel part of the book covers many distant and less known destinations that you'll hardly find in other travel books - like Krapje, Krasic, Veli Drvenik, Vrboska or Prvic.
Shortly: get your copy of this great guidebook (currently the second edition, published in 2003 by Rough Guides and distributed by Penguin Books) before you board the plane / train / bus to Croatia and learn a lot even before you arrive! Leave a Comment

It gets a bit cold sometimes, so a jacket or a cardigan would do.
Usually I wear a sleeveless shirt or tee, when it gets a bit cold and windy, I just put on a cardigan.
Bring as many rolls of film for the beautiful scenery... click and click and click.
Or bring all the compact flash or memory cards that you have for those beautiful pictures. Leave a Comment

If travelling any other time than summer waterproof boots are a MUST, especially in Dubrovnik where some of the roads just off of the main road in the old town are steps and in heavy rain literally turn into fast flowing waterfalls. No joke. Our room was situated on one of these roads and I honestly had to walk through a waterfall to get to it. The photos are a bit blurry but check them out anyway! Leave a Comment

Beaches in Croatia are small sharp stones and concrete piers, and beach lounges are a rarity. So you better take some soft mat to lie on at the beach.
Sunscreen cream in summer and early autumn is a must. Leave a Comment
