Hotels in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia

Primorje-Gorski Kotar County stretches along Croatia's northern Adriatic coast and into the Dinaric Alps, famous for the opulent 19th-century seaside resort of Opatija and the hiking trails of Risnjak National Park. The climate is Mediterranean on the coast-summers average 75°F (24°C) perfect for swimming in the Adriatic Sea or sailing between the islands of Krk and Cres-while the Gorski Kotar interior has cooler summers around 68°F (20°C) and snowy winters ideal for skiing at Platak. Spring brings wildflowers and fewer crowds for hiking to Vojak peak for a view of the Kvarner Gulf, while autumn is great for truffle hunting near Lovran.
