Hi from Igrane!
I’m getting a day off at work tomorrow, which is luckily just before the rains mark the arrival of autumn on the Makarska Riviera.
Still, right across the canal, we look at Hvar, the sunniest European island, with approximately 2,760 hours of sunshine per year. In the past, so confident was Hvar in its climate that some of its hotels offered free stays in the event of heavy rain, snow, or fog.
We’re practically on the opposite side of the spectrum, with its wettest corner occupied by Bergen, the rainiest city in Europe. When I visited this Norwegian gem of a town in September seven years ago, I was fortunate not to experience a single drop of rain during my five-day stay. I try to comfort guests with stories of unusual odds, hoping that would ease the pain of booking a room practically at the end of the season, when the weather wants to have a life of its own.
Even if you’re not squeezing out the last minutes of your summer, now might be the right time to start planning your winter. Why wouldn’t you consider taking exactly Scandinavian holidays? Discover the lands of fjords and northern lights – there’s some magic hidden there, even if you don’t believe in Finland‘s Santa Claus!
Consider including these Scandinavian cities in your Nordic itinerary! You can easily discover them by train, even if Norway’s Atlantic Ocean Road ranks as one of the best routes for electric car road trips. After all, we are speaking of a country with the largest number of EVs per capita in the world, already living up to the dreams of zero-emission cars.
The future is just around the corner. Start planning your trips now!
Have a sunny week,
Ivan Kralj
