Why September and October Are the Best Time for Teacher Training in Croatia
Summer in Croatia is unforgettable. But if you ask anyone who lives here, the real magic happens right after the crowds leave. September and October bring a neverending summer to the Croatian coast, and they happen to be the best time of year to join a teacher training course in Croatia.
If you are planning your next Erasmus+ mobility, here is why autumn should be at the top of your list.
A Neverending Summer on the Adriatic
Croatia does not switch off in September. Split’s daily air temperature still averages around 25°C, and the Adriatic Sea stays warm well into October. The sea remains warm throughout the whole month of September, with the coast staying very warm into October too. Even in October, the sea holds at around 23°C, which is still comfortable enough for a swim after a day of workshops.
That means your teacher training course does not have to compete with beach weather. It comes with it. Morning sessions, afternoon dips in the sea, and evening walks along the Riva promenade are all part of the package when you train with us in autumn.
Quiet Streets, Real Croatia
Split in July is a wonderful, buzzing city. Split in September is a different story, and honestly, our favourite one. The summer crowds thin out, ferry queues shrink, and the Diocletian’s Palace feels like your own open-air classroom again. You get to experience the city the way locals do, walking through peaceful old-town streets instead of squeezing past tour groups.
This matters for teacher training. Our courses include real classroom observations, school visits, and social activities around the city. Quieter streets mean easier logistics, shorter waits, and a more relaxed, genuinely immersive experience for every participant. Explore our full social programme to see what a typical week away from the classroom looks like.
Lower Prices, Same High-Quality Course
Fewer people travel to Croatia in autumn, so prices go down. Flights, hotels, and daily costs in Split are all cheaper once August ends.You will find better deals on Booking.com and Airbnb, and restaurants that were fully booked in summer suddenly have tables free.
Our course fees stay the same all year, so choosing September or October simply means more of your Erasmus+ mobility budget goes further. Check our fees page for full pricing details on every course.
Ideal Conditions for Focused Learning
Fewer tourists also means fewer distractions; school visits are easier to schedule, and group excursions are far more relaxed without the summer rush. Many of our past participants say the autumn courses were the reason they built such strong connections with teachers from other European countries.
Autumn light in Dalmatia is also something special. The Mediterranean sun softens, the heat becomes gentle rather than intense, and the famous golden hour over the Adriatic makes every excursion, from islands to the Split waterfront, feel cinematic.
