As a Croat , I glad you enjoyed your stay in Croatia . Next time you are here be sure to visit Istra , region famous for beautiful cities , vine and truffles . For little bit of history visit Zagreb and region of Croatian Zagorje which is full of castles . And little tip for all of the tourist , be sure to visit the most underrated gem of Croatia which is Slavonija and Baranja . Trust me on this . It will take your breath away . Spectacular food and wine and people are super friendly . And is quite cheaper than Dalmatia .
I have heard so much about Istria and Zagreb and Slavonija. I would love to come back one day and visit!
Of course it is cheaper than Dalmatia, because there's nothing to see there.
@@damirblazevic4823 Be nice. Is that so hard for you?
@damirblazevic4823 you don't know what to look for and are not interested in exploring
You guys deserve waaaaay more subscribers. The care you put in all your videos is outstanding
Wow, such a nice compliment, thank you so much!
Again Ty for the terrific video!
First visit to Croatia soon and found your channel so useful. You two are a super pair, thank you so much for all your info ❤
Awesome! Thank you! Hope you have the best time there, Such an amazing country❤
Fabulous videos. In fact , the best I’ve seen. So insightful, well paced, articulate and and so informative. Love them. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Susan🙏
There are sandy beaches in Croatia (Nin, Zaton, Saharun, Olib etc), but most of them are located in the Northern Dalmatia.
I've been told that the Northern coast is stunning, we'll certainly visit on our next visit.
Than you for speaking so nice about our country. I'm very happy you like it. It is interesting to hear about C. through your eyes.
Thank you so much. In fairness, Angela's parents are both Croatian so she has been going there all of her life. I fell in love with the country the first time she took me there several years ago
We’re so excited to visit Croatia in April!
@Angel43, you're going to LOVE it.
Hello from Split riviera!
Hello! What a wonderful place it is! Enjoy!
Many thnx for your lovely comment. Happy weekend from beautiful Dalmatia!
Hvala
My family and I went last year to visit my husband's relatives. This video is very informative. One thing I would also add is to pack a portable clothesline. Laundromat can be sparse, and you may need to do quick hand laundry. However, due to the dry heat in Croatia, lightweight fabrics dry quickly.
As far as other great places to visit would be Zagreb and the northern Slavonia region. These regions are good to visit in July/August when everyone else goes to the sea on holiday.
Hi Melissa! Ah, great tip! We didn't think of it because all of our apartments and airbnb's had a washer & clothesline, but that might not be the case for everyone, so very helpful. We look forward to coming back to Croatia one day to see other regions.
Thanks guys. I’ll be cycling from Zagreb to Athens in September’23. Good informative video. All the best from Cyprus 👍👍
Ohhhh, that sounds amazing. Keep me updated
oh what the hell.
😂
Great tips!
Thank you, my friend
Well done. Thanks!
Thank you! Hope you found it useful!
Greatings from Ottawa, Canada. I love your videos from my native Croatia. Hope to see you in Croatia on your next visit. I'll n be on Island Vis in whole month of September. Good luck with your visit to another country. Vlado Polgar
Vis is so amazing! We'd love to go back, have an amazing trip! Is Vis where you're from?
This video will help to globe trotter ☺️ very informative video thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks Nilesh!
Nice
Thanks Khalid!
Thank you so much for an informative video! You showed which ATMs not to use, which ones are good to use?
@Sortjuh, great question without an easy answer as there are so many variables and it is why I did not address it in the video. For starters, what country you are coming from, what bank you use, does your bank charge fees if using out of network ATM's, if within your network will the ATM you are using charge fees still? That is just a few of the many questions that need to be answered for me to give an honest take on it. If you want to dive deep into it, you can send us a message on either Instagram or Facebook (same name as our channel) and I will do my best to help you with this. When sending a message, start by answering as many of the questions posed above as you can. That will at least give me a head start on helping.
Hello Pure Detour, thank you very much for this informative video about my county...you are making wonderful free PR for the Croatian tourism. I am a Croat living in UK but I visited your countries too. I hope you will come to Croatia again and visit the north and east of Croatia, the beautiful Slavoina region where I am from...God bless you both and thank you again.
Glad it was helpful! Unfortunately I left Croatia last summer
Hi there. Just found your channel. Thanks for all the info on Croatia 🇭🇷! I’ll be staying in Split for June (doing 2-3 day side trips from there), and can’t wait!!!!!! I’m curious where you got your mobile hotspot from, that was approximately $50 for 5 weeks of unlimited data. That sounds great. Hvala 🤗✈️ 🌍
Sorry for the late reply. We bought the sim card for the hotspot in Vela Luka and we already had the device. I wish I could give you a better answer than that. I am sure you could ask around and finds them though. The device will be the most expensive part.

🙏❤️✌️
Great video! Can you provide more information on the wifi hotspot device - where to purchase, etc.? Also do most businesses, car share, etc. use WhatsApp?
@Leanne, what I quoted in the video was the price for the data package for the wifi hotspot which we purchased in the town of Vela Luka on Korcula. We already had a wifi hotspot device so we didn't need to purchase one of those. So the 350HRK was for the sim card that gave you the 5 weeks of unlimited data. I did see them in some shops on both Korcula and in Split(didn't really look elsewhere), unfortunately, I didn't price them as we already owned ours. Should you decide to purchase a device in your home country, just make sure it is unlocked to work anywhere
Most businesses and hotels etc. did use whatsapp with only a few exceptions. As far as ride shares go, as mentioned, Uber only works in a few locations that we were in and the island of Hvar has an app called Pickapp that is similar to Uber, but when we were there there were very few vehicles available so we took the public bus which is very cheap and reliable to get to other towns on the island
@@PureDetour Perfect! That all makes sense :)
Well done.thanks.can we drink the water from the tap?
It will be your call in bigger cities but on the islands absolutely not. I drink bottled water in Canada so I am kind of weird in that sense, but I know many people who drink the tap water in places like Split
One more information.If you want sandy beaches go to Nin near city of Zadar..but be warned there is no sun shades, so pack some good protection else you are goona get nasty sunburns and look like a cooked crab, also its good for family with kids since its knee deep...and for a whole body tan if you know what i mean(there are some good secluded places there)..cheers!
Awesome. Thanks for the tips!
👍👍😀😀❤❤
🇭🇷❤️🇭🇷🙏
Hey guys, im sure you will come back to Croatia. Just don't miss island of Rab. And find someone to tell you all about its history!
Hi! I've heard Rab is amazing. So many places to see in Croatia I feel like we only scratched the surface. Guess we'll have to come back soon 🤣
@@PureDetour just came back to say - try BAJADERA. It is a chocolate. 😊 btw, i watched a lot of foreigners try choco banana.... never ever no one liked it. But we, croatians, we love it 😂 maybe some scientists should examine our toungues, maybe something is wrong 😁
🤣 I have actually tried bajadera. I googled it and saw the packaging and remember trying it, just not in this video! It sure was a lot better than the choco bananas!
👍🏽👍🏽
🙏
Very informative. Coming to Croatia this summer. Could you talk about flying drone in Croatia? Any restrictions or tips? Thank you in advance.
Hi! You're going to love your time in Croatia. There are the usual restricted areas for drones, like near airports, major towns, etc. But there are lots of wide open spaces with beautiful scenery to make amazing footage! If you didn't see our video on the island of Proizd, check it out to watch Geoff crash our drone 😂😅
Drone flights are banned in 5km radius from reference point of the airport and 3 km from the edge of the runway of uncontrolled airports. Allowed elevation is 50 meters and for drones up to 900 grams. For drones above said weight you need ad hoc permission. Also drone flights are banned near any military facilities. In short don't go near airport or military and you are good. Cities are ok if you don't peak into people windows.
@@darkoulmer6881 thank you for the detailed information. I am very tempted to bring a drone but also want to be cognizant of the rules and also not to be too annoying.
@@leontxyee you're welcome 😁. Feel free to fly it , as so many people do. No one really pays attention. Just as I said no airport or military as I'm sure you know why.
Could you please provide info on where we can purchase the wifi hotspots and SIM cards? Thank you!
Hi @Crystal Lee, the sim cards that are valid for 30 days are Telemach and they can be purchased at any Telemach store and almost every Tisak kiosk. They have a 10GB + cell plan or a 20GB data only plan. Both of these are 75HRK. We used the data only plan because we could use whatsapp for calling. That is the only sim card I know of that are valid for 30 days. A1 and one other that I can't remember the name of now are only valid for 7 days
The wifi hot spot package we bought was at a local electronics store in Vela Luka. The 350HRK was for the sim card and 5 weeks of data. We forgot to mention in the video that you will also need the device, which we already owned. If you have to purchase one there, obviously the price will be more than 350 and I couldn't honestly say how much the device costs in Croatia.
The rumour on the website is that it’s somebody’s birthday today I don’t want to see how old someone is but happy birthday Geoff
Thank you! 😊
I haven’t read all of the comments so it may have been answered but you talk about accommodation and choosing homestays/small family owned places - how do you find these places in advance ?
Unfortunately finding them in advance is almost impossible. Most of these places will be listed on booking or the like and then their fees are involved. You really need to reach out to these people once you are on the ground in Croatia.
For me, Zadar and Šibenik are more beautiful than Split for example. Also, Istra is as beautiful as Dalmatia. So, u have to see more from Croatia. I'm sure u will like Zadar, Šibenik and whole Istra.
We have heard that those places are very nice, which is great, it gives us a reason to return one day again!
You are so ridiculous. The effort you people put in trying to prove that your little villages are "better than Split" is sooo entertaining. And Istria is overhyped piece of crap that makes its profit on stupid purgers that don't know theit heads from their asses
Sibenik is 10 times better than split
Not to mention np krka is there
Thanks for the tip & for watching. Just another reason we should come back to Croatia soon, so much to see and enjoy!
No it isn't. There is no place better than Split. And, beside that, Šibenik is without the doubt the worst place in whole of Dalmatia. Fucking Juda's nest.
Been visiting 5-6 times a yr since 1984. Only people from outsider Europe would chose Juli, august and even until week 1 in in september is over. (Most schools of Europe stop here, and after that it is much cheaper, because you avoid the School holiday season , with tourists from South part of Germany, Netherlands, France, italy and more. The traffic is massive id you drive on your own through Europe! We did that a lot of times!
Take away is not as normal as in US! People go out instead!
croatia now has EURO from Jan. 1 -2023, so i guess you really was there a Long time ago?
Remember Americans experience Europe very diffrent than Europeians do.
Remember to try to keep your Voice Down, do not behave in an attentionseeking Way it attracts pickpockets..
No rucksack, or socks in the sandals , change and wear Nice clothes for dinner too!
Just like in Italy, it ismaking “Bella figura” to walk in the evening wearing very Nice clothes!
No tourist uniform.
Americans who are Loud, wearing their ruckssaks and socks , High laughter and showing off , that is a Big Big no go everywhere in Europe.
Croatia is very Nice, but you Will experience even more if you leave the tourist trail .
When Americans arrive Europe, dont #cream omg omg omg, such a pretty place, it makes the country want to send you back to US.
Downplay your apperance and use a soft voice !
If Americans are to loud, They are acceptet, but absolutely not wanted what so ever..
Remember it is their Home country, show respect to traditions, how to behave in both Croatia and the rest of Europe , it is very different from applausing your own behavior in America (i am sure not a lot of Americans are aware of that?)
Thanks for watching
