Recommended Filming Period
Croatia generally has a dry season (May–October) and a rainy season (November–April). The dry season offers many sunny days, and especially from June to September, the mild weather makes it an ideal filming period. The rainy season sees increased precipitation, and particularly in the winter, the cold weather makes outdoor filming more challenging. Our production services are here to suggest the best filming times and help you plan around the climate for your optimal shooting schedule.
