The climate of Opatija (Croatia)
The city of Opatija was named after a Benedictine abbey that was built
here in the 14th century. Opatija was one of the first tourist
destinations on the Adriatic coast; the oldest hotel of the region can
be found here. The region used to be a winter sun destination for the
Austrian-Hungarian aristocracy. Nowadays Opatija is a summer holiday
destination. The adventurous tourist is in the right place in this
mountainous area. Sun worshippers can find peace and quiet on the wide
beaches. Opatija is situated on the Bay of Kvarner and has a mild
Mediterranean climate. Please, bear in mind that precipitation figures

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
