Business Practices

Summers

Holidays

Fridays

On the coast of Croatia, many businesses are closed on Sundays during the summer. We will remain open for people that need to get things right away.

We won't schedule meetings on Friday afternoons because many go to their country cottages for the weekends early on Fridays

We will show that we respect their national holidays by not opening for the day.

What holidays does this include?

Won't this affect the business?

Will this benefit us?
