Croatia with friends: how much does a week in a holiday villa cost?
Istria and Dalmatia are popular for group holidays: houses with a pool, clear water and good food. Istria is an easy drive from southern Germany.
Prices in Croatia have risen since it adopted the euro, but a villa for a big group is still an affordable way to travel together.
Sample budget per person
10 adults, 7 nights in summer, holiday villa with pool in Istria, travel in four cars
| Travel by car (fuel, vignettes, tolls, shared) | €70–120 |
| Holiday villa with pool (7 nights, split 10 ways) | €300–550 |
| Tourist tax | €10–18 |
| Food and drinks | €210–350 |
| Day trips (boat tour, national park) | €50–120 |
| Total per person | approx. €640–1,160 |

Tips
- You need vignettes to drive through Austria and Slovenia; Croatia charges motorway tolls.
- In June and September it is warm, and the house is often 30 to 40 % cheaper than in August.
- Many houses ask for a cash deposit – agree in good time who pays it upfront.
- National parks such as Plitvice or Krka use timed tickets in high season.

Split the costs fairly
In Split&Fly you enter flights, accommodation and expenses, search for offers and see straight away what each person and each family pays – even when children pay less, someone stays for fewer nights or isn’t in on everything. At the end, the settlement shows who transfers how much to whom.
