I visited Croatia last year & fell inlove with the place. It did gave me a feeling of “I want to live here.. I want to retire here..”
Another country that gave me that feeling is Portugal.
But Croatia is definitely on top of my list.
Agent You got good taste l come from island from Dalmacia.
@Jenny Lake Korcula it’s between Split and Dubrovnik.
Croatia is much nicer than Portugal. We went for two weeks to see if we wanted to live in Portugal. we didn't like it at all. been to Croatia 7 times. That is the place to live but they will only let you live there for 2 years and you have to leave for 18 months.
@@cindiekennedy1092 No, you can get Croatian citizenship after certain time.
There is no better place to live, than Croatia. All around the globe. Everybody who visit Croatia just ONES, knows very well what i'm talkin' about. I been all around the world. And Croatia is no.1 by far.
@ExpertChess It depense what class you want. If you want 5 stars accomodation it will cost you of course. But you can find very decent place to stay for very acceptable price.And in a pre season and post season the prices are lower. Just goggle it. Get informed. Everybody can find what they looking for. Croatia has it all.
@@33neptun I've made a video about Croatia: czcams.com/video/P64EWyAt0-E/video.html
@@jeanclaudejunior Very well done. Congrats. Thank you for promoting our amazing country. It seems we are the only ones in the world who doesn't see the real value and beauty of where we live. I had to travel the world to realize that.
Why is everyone leaving?
I am Croatian, Born on the Coast. Near Rovinj. A tip for retirees who like work - like I plan to be - Who want to stay productive and help humanity, may enjoy cities such as Zagreb, Varazdin, and more, where there is less red tape and access to universities and talent. Personally, as a Croatian who speaks 7 languages and has lived for extensive periods of time in various cities for work and adventure, the great moment will be when things can get done in Rijeka or Split with the efficiency of Varazdin or Čakovec. What I am saying is that seaside and hot sun is just a small part of Croatia. You can retire and improve the Dalmatian dog breed for example. You can restore olive groves. You can advance sustainable farming. You can work with Croatian high tech and develop eV industry. I don’t understand why people just talk about the sea. You can be in an amazing cultural town and renovate a decrepit monastery. When you want to go for a swim, it’s only a 2 hour car ride from most places. Poke around. Go to a place like Pazin or Buzet , you will be amazed by the education and international experiences people have, but it so easy to overlook when you are just rushing to a crowded beach.
What about Istria? Is there a small town you would recommend away from the sea in Istria?
What would chances be of restoring the Frankopan stari grad in Bosiljevo? Why hasn’t it been done?
@@mikef2813 Motovun is the best known for truffles.
“…village and a municipality in central Istria, Croatia. In ancient times, both Celts and Illyrians built their fortresses at the location of present-day Motovun. The name of the village is also of Celtic origin, derived from Montona, meaning "a town in the hills". The population of the village itself is 531, with a total of 983 residents in the municipality (2001); 192 of the residents speak Italian as their mother tongue. “
I'm having a great life in croatia because the air is so fresh idk why
Although it is good starting point, there's actually much, much more to Croatia than it's coastal parts that are most known, internationally presented and extremely exploited for the sake of the tourist industry!
This guide is based only on Adriatic - maritime part of Croatia that is, at best, only about one half of the country!
There are many interesting regions, cities and places in continental Croatia that are undeservedly below tourist radar like amazing capital of Zagreb, baroque jewel of Varaždin, fairy tale town of Samobor, Karlovac-city with amazing star shaped fort and old town, beautiful Osijek with baroque fort and old city, medieval town with preserved citadel in Ilok, Požega with preserved old town and famous Kutjevo wineries, Đakovo with majestic cathedral and 16th century horse stables, Vukovar, Slavonski Brod with one of the most preserved and largest star shaped baroque era forts and old monastery and so on, so on...
Also You've only prevented cuisine from the coastal areas but Croatia has HUGE selection of local culinary traditions practically unknown to the foreigners that are aggressively presented only maritime specialties! Croatia has larger number of regions, sub-regions and even more local areas with fantastic local dishes, great local traditions and interesting local styles of living!
Someone who's considering living in Croatia also should know that anything in coastal areas is considerably more expensive there: food, housing, monthly costs, public traffic, services... Cites like Dubrovnik and Split although beautiful, are extremely expensive in all areas of living! In some continental cities that are also beautiful you can get a whole lot more usually for the much less money and without annoying hordes of tourists and huge traffic jams!
Also there are many breathtaking small villages in beautiful nearby countryside!
Don't get me wrong, coastal Croatia is very worth mentioning but from the prospective of locals it is very annoying to see this huge foreigners obsession with only one part of our country that is much more than this super hyped coastal areas!
Best regards from the continental Croatia!
@Jenny Lake
Absolutely! Although I do like to visit coast during the summer vacations, personally continental Croatia is area I prefer much more for living!
@Jenny Lake
I'm from Slavonia but living in Zagreb.
@Jenny Lake
Ma nije Zagreb tako loš! Ima kao i svaka druga sredina i svoje prednosti i mane.
Sretan Božić i vama!
@Jenny Lake
Djelomično se mogu složiti oko ludih vozača, iako se jako lako uz malo vježbe ufura u vožnju u ZG i nisu baš svi na cesti loši!
Također sretna 2021. godina!
@Jenny Lake
Okeeej, čemu tolika agresija iz ničega?! Nisam imao apsolutno nikakve loše namjere! Radite što i kako vam paše!
Želim vam puno mira i strpljenja jer izgleda da vam ga mrvicu manjka!
Sve najbolje!
Ps. Neću vam više držati "lekcije" jer mi baš i ne treba da mi netko, koga i ne poznajem, dijeli verbalne šamare! A nisam ni balavac!

Nice video. Thank you for the excellent info! Currently living in Costa Rica and want to move to Croatia in five years.
Glad it was helpful!
thank you! great job! cannot wait to go!
Excellent content presented excellently in an organized and easy to understand manner. One of the very best content producers on YT!
Thanks for the video !
Croatia has a new Nomad visa if you work online and tax free for oINE year. Regarding applying for visas temporary or long stay, if you are American the #1 thing you need is the FBI background check and Secretary of State Certification. Without that you can’t apply for anything in Croatia but you don’t need a lawyer now since Croatia has made it pretty easy with their new website.
i am not surprised that people want to live here, you get that "tough" moment living here, but if you work it out you are staying for good. also great countryside with mostly less than hour drive to a medium sized town or bigger
Superbly done. Packed with usable info and no wasted time. Liked and subscribed.
@Dave Riley. Thank you for watching and subscribing. Welcome to my channel.
great video!
thanks for the info.
@nick loz. Thank you. Are you moving to Croatia?
I was always curious about Croatia. Great video!
Great channel!!!
To me it looks like you never been to Croatia
Easy living under the Mediterranean sun..Regards from Split riviera!
Awesome my girlfriend and I are thinking about Croatia
Visited 4 times. Loved it. Want to live here for sure. Like to know more on how to find apartment- realtor to assist in finding an apartment. Thank you.
I do love Croatia.hope to visit one day
Me too. I made a video about Croatia: czcams.com/video/P64EWyAt0-E/video.html
Croatia is not young Country its one of the oldest in Eu.. way older then Engand, Austria, Netherlands Belgium and many others.
And it being in end of 6th century.
and quite literally so, 900AD map: olypen.com/zob/genealogy/Maps/Europe/Europe_900.html
I would love to live in Croatia.
Thinking about taking a year off to live in Croatia. Was there a couple years ago for vacation. Loved the place: super friendly people and tasty seafood. Do you own properties there?
Thanks bro
Thanks for this video! Great information!
R Dezi You should visit you will love it .
@@Batman-wv5ng Yes, I am sure I would.
I live in a small one bedroom apartment in Norway, 10 minutes from the city by car/bus.
I live good on 650USD per month, including food, electricity, fiber internet, car insurance.
Is it expensive ?
What things are there to occupy your time in Norway? Thanks
Weather??
$650 sounds like a welfare check or minimum wage job. hope you can improve your status.
Suggestion: when you say the average cost of things no need to give the min. and max. range.
They have over thousand island not hundreds.
where do you live at currently since your doing a lot of retire videos? RoninBlue
Coratia salary basic
But if Croatia is such a nice place, why did my mother's parents in 1901 and my father in 1925, had to emigrate from Hvar to Argentina ?.... ma bome !.....
people move my brother has moved back to croatia with his family plus its not the same as in 1901 or 1921 i heard Argentina isnt a good place to live
Very good question, very simple answer: your Grand pa probably left the Island because of the grape phylloxera diseas which was a disaster for wine producers who used to live from this business in the Island. In that period, Korčula, Vis, Brač and Hvar lost half of their population in few years, moving to Chile, Argentina, USA etc. because then it was the Eldorado of the New World. Tragic destinity for good People who travelled from their sunny homr Island without trip back possibility to other continent (can you immagine moving from Brač to Punta Arena)?
My parents migrated from croatia into argentina in 1945 and i wonder why?
Always something other than country - my parents due to Government/communism -
@@mike8966 thank you for explanation as I said NO one leaves just because = usually a reason
I luv Croatia & although don’t live there as family & friends R here - anywhere they are is home🙏🏼
So as you talk about apartments you have a photo of Dubravnik, come on ma😝 You’ve never been to Croatia, have you? A fishing village of Rovinj... sheesh!

How about you don't? Retire in your own country and let us be in peace. As if it's not enough that we need to put up with so many arrogant, disrespecting, self-righteous foreigners who weren't interested in our culture in the first place during the entire tourist season?
Serbia is more advanced and nicer just without sea.more jobs,cheaper,people are better
Ciganija
This guy has a gf....really
Leave me alone
Sorry guys, but your food just isn't up to par. Below average + overpriced. Compare to Greece where the food is both godly and cheap. Can't retire to a place I can't enjoy a meal.
Where do you live with your girlfriend?
Roviny. No Rovenia.
Florida is all I need!
Then why are you watching if you want to live in Florida? It makes no sense.
No culture in Florida.
Florida is a waste land.
@@longlivetherepublic.4796 PLEASE LEAVE, THEN.
jaddy540 Florida is good for you you can eat snakes and crocodile at your back yard.
Only if you are rich.🤣🤣 If you aren't, run away from Croatia! First hand experiance.
Remembering Jasenovac 😢
that wasnt even a death camp people went there to work
Kakve sad jasenovac ima veze sa ovim videom???
@@nikolabakich9709 My grand father died there in 1945 he's in a mass grave. My mother and grandmother almost died from dysentery and starvation my mother was only 8 years old.

I think this is were Trumpf will “retire” after his failed presidency.
#MAGA!!! Yeah!
“Failed presidency” 🤣🤣🤣. Ok Roxanne, you DO have to turn on the red light.
My crystal ball says you are wrong. Sorry.
Ironically I am looking to leave the states and what do I find ? A bunch of comments back and forth about Trump. Is there no escape? 😂
We don't need more stupid politicians here in Croatia, we have too many of our own, so why would we allow the import of foreign ones?
