Hvala ti na ovome što radite. Lijepo predstavljate našu zemlju.

After so many times in Hrvatska I already know all answers to the questions you answered. But anyway I think this video is very important. So thanks a lot for your work, for research and answers. As for the language - for me is not so dufficult as I am Polish, so Croatians are my Slavic Brothers & Sisters :-) Thanks again for the video ! P.S. You are so so charming !!!

Hi Sarah and Ivan! Just wanted you to know I recently returned from my first (but definitely not last) trip to Croatia. Practicing with your Common Phrases video before I went, I was able to communicate pretty well with everyone I met in Croatia. The lovely people of Croatia expressed tons of appreciation everytime I greeted them correctly, or thanked them. Their favorite was when I suggested to my local guide, "Idemo Jesti!" Thanks for your great work!

Great job guys. A little tipping tips for Cro. As Sarah told go with filling but it's common to give the difference to a round number. For beer if it's 18 you give 20. For two if its 36 go with 40. If price is like 88, 100 will be ok. If you go for a nice meal and dinner for two is like 360 go with 400. If it's meal for 4 and will be 720, 750 is ok but if everything was great go with 800. So, you don't need to go with %. Hope that this helps a little.

Pozdrav iz Hrvatske The most beautiful countries in the Mediterranean, I am proud to be a Croat ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙

Thanks for making all these videos! I’m in high school and leave for a 10 month exchange program to Croatia in a few weeks and this channel has been incredibly helpful 😀🇭🇷

Love you guys, and love your channel! I live in Belgium but already visited Croatia 9 times. I did the salsa festival in Rovinj 8 times, this year also the pre-weekend in Opatija. About 10 years ago I also did a group travel through Croatia from Zagreb to Split with a lot of stops along the road (Plitvice lakes, hiking in Paklenica mountains + visiting Starigrad, visiting Brac + Bol, Sibenik, Makarska). In a few weeks I’ll go to Croatia for the 10th time, in June in Rovinj during the salsa festival I met a girl from Austra, we’re together now and will visit Crikvenica during the weekend of 15th aug. If you have any Crikvenica recommendations I’m interested to hear about them. ☺️

I spent the month of May in Split (and visited other islands and towns from there). It was perfect time of the year to visit. They consider it off season but it was perfect weather, less crowded and significantly cheaper. The only drawback was the sea temperature was a bit chilly. I am not convinced that pebbly/rocky beaches are better but luckily Split has both. I am glad Croatia is switching over to Euros…it makes it easier to compare to the dollar and easier to go from one country to the next without converting! Super safe country….and I was there 3 weeks before I even saw a policeman. I took Uber once in Dubrovnik and much cheaper than Uber in States! I walked everywhere in Split but busses were nice and ran on time.

Always tip good service in Croatia! It helps increase service standards and helps underpaid bartenders and servers survive! If you tip in America you should in Croatia! It is much appreciated and lately more expected! The bartender or server will also always remember you and give you Americans style friendly service!!! Tip your bartender for sure 💪🏽💪🏽🇭🇷❤️🙏

Sara speaks soo well Croatian, I'm a little envious. I am especially impressed by how she pronounces the letter R. It's not easy to switch between the English and Croatian R...and even more so it is hard to learn for English natives. To my ears it is flawless. When I go back home for a vacation down to Pelješac I give you guys a heads up, maybe we'll meet for a coffee or something like that on my way down from up North?

Pozdrav draga iz Australije odusevljena sam kako dobro pricas HR ❤️❤️

Thanks for your positivity, tips and answers♥

i love youre comments much love from Zagreb-Croatia

Can I just say I love your channel and it was perfect for our trip to Croatia we did this week. I learned a lot from these videos and it really helped with our trip.

As a Googler and Croat i Like this Format a lot. 😁 Keep up the cool content. 👍

Zagreb is beautiful to visit at CHRISTMAS 😍🎄🇭🇷

Wow, best wishes for your travel company. I been once to Zagreb 94. My family all live here. Me from Sydney, Au, I wish these video's were around when I went, so informative. Good job, it's so teaching 👍

There are many species of sharks in the Adriatic, but very few dangerous for people.

Thanks for the great video.I will be arriving in Croatia July 26 th. I know it is peak tourist season. But I will be visiting with family. I have family in Zagreb and Rijeka. I have been to Croatia 4 times before. live in Orlando so I am used to busy tourism.

I want to swim in the Adriatic on our trip at the end of March 2023. It will be cold, but if it is only for a few minutes, I will be excited. Glad to hear that shark attacks are rare. I will let you know if I have any trouble!

You guys are such a lovely couple! Hope you are having a nice summer! 😎☀

Thank you for sharing, you two are such beautiful souls. I absolutely adore Croatia such a breathtaking place 💫🤗💫

You guys are so adorable, thanks for the videos, I can't wait to come to Croatia this year :)

Tipping in Croatia is not mandatory. I do not agree with Ivan that workers do not have high salaries so tipping helps them. It is up to the employer to give adequate salaries and not expect customers to fill his obligation. Things are changing and it is becoming normal that everyone expects a tip. There are some rude restaurants that print in BOLD letters "Tip is not included" on the bottom of the bill. Who says it has to be included? This happened to me at a fancy restaurant in Bol on Brač few weeks ago.

Veliki pozdravi iz Splita ! 😀💪

How do Croatians drink coffee? Hahaaa! opširno. 😂1 cup =1 hour ;) Always nice to see a new video from Sarah! To be frank, I reconed with a video from Rab, Sarah. Just because I saw you been there with your family and posting pics on instagram. :) My godson and his gf have been to Rab for 3 weeks in Juli. Told him to look out for Sarah from YT with her family. 🙂 And well, if you ask me, Croatia is in Central Europe, definitely in terms of geography. Stay safe! ✌

Sand beaches I'm aware of: Rab, Nin, Saharun on the island Dugi Otok, Privlaka, almost all beaches on the island Olib, Zaton resort, Lozice on the island Vir, and I believe there are more, but the aforementioned I visited myself.

4:10 - Sahe blushed! Isn't that sweet!

to answer the sandy beaches question: near zadar the bay of nin, privlaka (sabunike) and on the way to vir

Great videos you guys. Got my citizenship by descent last year. Will be in Zagreb from February 17. Love to connect

When visiting Pag in 1977, a local fisherman caught a small shark .

You forgot famous BACVICE beach 🏝 in SPLIT ,CROATIA 😍😊😎

Ypu guys are so cute. I find your videos helpfull,being half french half croatian and living in the states,8 can relate and learn. I am currently in vodice visiting my parents and looking forward to visit split. Thanks for your videos.

Great video! We just came back after staying for 2 months (n yes the best time being a little off season! 😉) my husband is from Ugljan so we spent most our time there at his house n a little at the ‘Stan’ in Zadar but even June was getting too crowded for our taste. One thing maybe to mention is ‘taxis’ … it’s better to call them first to pick you up (ask for their card) even though taxis might be waiting in a row in front of you… you get a better rate calling them first , otherwise they seem to pick n choose what they want to charge. N that’s real!!! And another lil hint is (I’m American and Italian) and my husband (who’s Croatian) says best not to speak English in the cab or they charge you more lol. So he sits in the front speaking Croatian being friendly n get a better rate! May not be practical for everyone but it helps!

There are sharks in adriatic but they rarely get near the coast, they are in the in the open sea and most of them are not dangerous for people, the place where you are most likely to encounter them are open sea islands Jabuka and Palagruža, and rarely on coast or island that leads directly to the open sea like southern side of Vis, Lastovo and Mljet and western side of Dugi Otok and Istria.

Great !

There are some sharks in Adriatic, people see them every year but those are not dangerous.

Yes, there is the Sharks in Croatia. Mostly around national park Kornati, and also around a small island in the open sea. Like every animals, sharks love quiet and secluded places without noise and vibration.

haha LOVE this! You two are great :) Thank you so much for all the info!

Been there 3x.....it is an adventurists dream.

Ljepa moja domovinq poz iz Parisa

Dobar dan! Thank you for your videos! They are great! And you are great!) And what about earthquakes? Are they smth to worry about? Thanks!)

Hi, really nice. I have a request and I'm sure many people are searching for these topics online: 1. How non-EU Citizens can start a JDOO company, process, cost, and timeline? 2. Explain the detailed rental contract for non-EU foreigners for an apartment and for a room on a monthly basis. 3. How non-EU Citizens can buy property House with Land?

Love to watch ur videos from India

Prijatelje zagrlim i izljubim znancima samo dam ruku ☺

People used to ask me where is Croatia located, I always asked if they know where Italy Is. Most people do, so I said Croatia is along the other coast north of Italy. It was always "Aha" and sometimes: "I never knew what was there!" 😀😀

Also known for the dog breed Dalmation 😄

Really great 🙂👍

You guys are great 😉👍🏻👋🏻

Nice video as always. You should just check the map of Europe. 😂

Pozdrav Sarah and Ivan very good 👍 hvala sve najbolje ♥️♥️

When is the best time to visit Croatia? It was in 1993, 1994, 1995 and so on. We had miles of beach to ourselves and that was in July. However, the locals suffered the most, so it's good that those days are over. And where would I go this year? I'm thinking about Odessa UA.

There are 15 languages in the subtitle section! Wow!

Can you help give information on salaries in areas around you/job oppotunities? I would like to come back to my country however, I am worried about job security as well as pay. Thanks

When tipping in Croatia, should I leave the tip on the table (which is customary in the US) or should I hand it to the server? What should I do with it? Also, is it appropriate to ask for a "doggie bag", or some kind of container so I can take my leftovers with me? I found that the portions there were so big!

You forgot PLITVICE LAKES❤️❤️❤️

🤗

I just discovered your channel lov u both@ Do you have a video that explain how you guys met?

Hi, again! Just thought of another question! When I go a fresh fruit/veggie market, can I pick up my own fruit, or does the vendor have to hand it to me? When I was in Germany, I started to pick up my own fruit and I thought the guy was going to slap me!

Thanks for answering these questions! would you know how vegetarian friendly croatia is?

How about visiting Croatia in December?

i am croatian ja sam hrvat

Hello Sarah and Ivan, First off I absolutely love your videos they are so informative. I am planning to visit Zagreb in April, I don't have much time ,only about a week and a half. Like you Sarah I am Canadian but my father was born in Zagreb, and came to Canada I believe in 1953 . He had 3 brothers that stayed behind, I understand only his younger brother is still alive and I am sure I have cousins there also. My question is I have been looking for my uncle for years and I am lost as where I might look. I know his name and birthrate that's all. My dad passed away in 2002 and we can't find the little book that had his phone number and address. I tried looking him up on social media, phonebooks ect do you have any suggestions where I might some information. This has been a life long dream to meet my uncle and I would like to tell him I love him and thought of him over the years. Please help. Thank you ❤️

How about allergies? Ragweed?

Sharks are pretty common in the Adriatic, we even use them as food, you can buy them on the fish markets even. There are traditional recipes that use shark meat, dried or fresh.

The important thing is: there is NO great white shark. Even those attacks were from some "lame" shark types. There's no "great white" in the whole Mediterranean sea.

My girlfriend says that medication there and feminine hygiene products are quite expensive is this true

Your vids are great, I was wondering how much time do you save using the new bridge ( Pelješac Bridge) getting to Dubrovnik and is there a toll. Going soon Thanks

Travel Advice for Croatia (dont go to Croatia without knowing this) và take note tips

Heyy i will travel in Croatie in june and i wanna know what is the best way to us my phone ( wich phone card it better to use to have Internet) and which compagnie its the best to rent a car (automatique car) Thank you

You do not have to tip, specially we do not have percantage rule Like in USA

Why is the currency changing?

Hi, i'm an American visiting split and dubrovnik late september for 9 days. What's the easiest way to get internet (sim card, company, price)? I have tmobile which has international coverage but it's really slow.

I do not agree with tipping as it is the employer’s responsibility to pay for his workers especially in restaurants. It is a choice to tip if you are happy with the overall service. I don’t get tips for doing my job as a nurse.

Incredibly is that only one country in Europe has, in same time, bigest river in Europe -Danube and Mediterranian sea! The country is not big and her name is - Croatia!

Ako posjetite ravne kotare, Ivan zna o čemu pišem,onda imate moju preplatu

Do you know if I can still change my kuna next year to euro? I plan to travel in June. Thank you!

I have some Kuna can i exchange when i arrive in Croatia........June 2023?

I want to move to Europe in about 4 years and I'm looking for places close to Germany but don't get Snow. I've looked at Maybe Malta or Croatia. I've heard that many Croatians speak English. How easy is it to communicate if you only speak English? Also, Does it snow along the coast (Sibenik, Split, etc)?

👍

What if you come from a non tipping country? Any suggestions on how much to tip would be appreciated as I am from a non tipping country.

Poslije zavrsenog prvog razreda vasa djeca su gotova za citanje I pisanje a vidi mogu li oni English Tako .E nece sigurno

I'm visiting Zadar in September, does anyone have any beer recommendations? Also will local bars show premier league football? Cheers.

Zaboravili ste spomenuti Mišu Kovača.😉🎤

Another thing about safety, if you are gay, lesbian, unfortunately, you have to be extremely discreet here. You can easily get agressed or insulted. Even in big city as Zagreb, supposed to be more tolerant. I never saw two lesbians or gays in East Croatia keeping their hands, and there are reasons for it. So member of gay community, travel, enjoy, but unfortunately, be discreet, dont show anything, to avoid problems

Word of warning- women when you use air b&b to visit Croatia be very careful who you trust.. I made the mistake to trust the reviews and when i arrived in Zagreb, i found the photos were not accurate. They pretended there was a view but in reality i was on the first floor with everyone passing my room on the street. I was stuck in a bad area and garbage was everywhere. The person who owned the apartment received a subsidized apartment free from the government and secretly turned it into 3 tiny micro-studios. They were taking advantage and making money off of young women traveling

Suprug nije pogriješio - ima najšarmantniju i najsimpatičniju suprugu

About greetings, you maybe kiss in Istria or around sea side, but I rarely very rarely saw people kissing in zagorje, and in Slavonija its even more rare. So I advise people going to Croatia to don't kiss people, they wouldn't like it and it wouldn't be appropriated, shake hands, better, and safer. About September, I disagree,it's maybe fine for sea side, but in many regions of Croatia its a very rainy month. Better pick middle October, you will have lovely colors of the fall at least. And not crazy stupid summer prices. About safety, I would say yes and no. For walking in the street, park, center of cities, alone or with kids, it's definately safe.if you forget your bag or credit card in a restaurant or a store, you can go back there, you can be sure they will keep it for you, I wouldn't worry about this. But... Hanging out after a football game of national team or dynamo Zagreb, then it isn't that safe. Driving in Slavonija is a real pain, and it's not so safe, you have to be extra careful. If you can, rent a Croatian car, it will avoid a lot of bad surprises that you can get having a western car registration. In the North, they took my European health card everywhere. In East, you have to be lucky that they accept it. So, it's safe in general, but i would definately not call it one of the safest place in the world. I am here for few years, I saw agressions, murders and lot of ugly things. It's hard to resume, I'd say it's safe but be aware of lot of things or places to avoid.

Disappointing answer re: tipping. Every country has tipping norms. Would be useful to know what they are there.

so so much misinformation in this video, especially regarding sea warmth and best months to visit. Sea in september will be too cold for most people, (not counting early september), october and May dont even bother, unless it is exceptionally warm spring season etc.

Zena ti je dobra Ivane !!!

It is bad news that you are going to lose the sovereignty of your currency when you change to the Euro, you will not have a way to control inflation since you will depend on the economic decisions of the European Union, for example. Every time they decide to print money, inflation will rise, and the cost of living will also rise. It's unfortunate, I think it's a very bad idea to leave the Kuna behind.

Sarah, you speak Croatian like a native Croatian girl, so you can not say Croatian is hard to learn! 😀

Title must be *FAQ about Croatia* because *FAQ - Croatia* sounds very insulting.
