Croatia holidays could be good value for money until 2017

02 June 2010

Tourists in Europe planning a break in accommodation in Croatia potentially have seven more years to take advantage of the country’s favourable currency and exchange rate.

As a result of the Greek financial crisis, possible new entrants to the European Union (EU) - such as Croatia - will not adopt the euro until 2017, reports the Croatian Times.

This means travellers to the Dalmatian coast and historic cities such as Dubrovnik will continue to use the kuna, of which holidaymakers can currently expect to buy approximately eight for a pound.

"We do not have any official information yet, but it is realistic to expect that what is happening in Greece will influence the further expansion of the eurozone," the newspaper quotes a source as telling Jutarnji List.

This could result in the continuation of bargain rates on Croatian accommodation, eating out and visiting attractions in the country.

The EU is currently made up of 27 member states and includes neighbouring Slovenia.
