Health
precautions
In spite of generally good health care system, it is best to take
a few sensible precautions during your holiday. The most important
is to avoid overexposure to the sun, wear a hat and use a high-factor
suntan lotion, especially during the hottest part of the day (11
a.m. till 3 p.m.). Drink plenty of water to avoid exhaustion and
dehydration. Tap water in Croatia is generally safe to drink,
but if you feel uncomfortable, bottled spring water can be bought
everywhere. Wild beaches are usually not cleaned from sea urchins
that like Croatia's clean waters. If you notice their presence,
the best solution is to wear plastic or other adequate shoes to
enter and get out of the water safely.
Immunisations
No special immunisations are required for a visit to Croatia.
Children´s health in Croatia
Children will enjoy Croatia providing you take adequate
precautions.
For the beach, you may want to consider some plastic shoes to
avoid contact with sea urchins and hot sand. Always use a high
factor suncream. From 11 a.m. till 3 p.m. it's best to keep children
out of the sun or well protected. For nights it's best to have
a mosquito repellent ready if you notice their presence. Consider
a mosquito net for prams and pushchairs.
