February trade-offs
- ↓Limited dining and bar options: many seasonal restaurants still closed
- ↓11°C max: cool enough to make the Riva and beaches purely scenic rather than usable
- ↓Little happening: Croatia Carnival exists but Split's version is minimal
June trade-offs
- ↓Prices spike significantly — accommodation 50–60% above low season
- ↓Crowds building: summer tourist season in full swing, palace lanes increasingly busy
- ↓Book accommodation and Peristyle event tickets well in advance
