Running excursions in Croatia.
Croatian rules, confusing? :lol: Sorry, I can't help you, only empathize with your frustration. It's even more confusing when locals themselves just go ahead and operate "in the black" Read More
Attitude to Dogs by fidobsa
Earlier this year I got my first dog, Charlie, who is an elderly Basset Hound. I had been thinking of getting a dog for some years but where I lived in Scotland was a very busy road and I was worried about safety. Charlie is a rescue dog who had ...
I traveled to Croatia from the US with my rescue dog George for years, and he was treated like a beloved guest. I haven't returned since he died, and people probably won't recognize me without him! :lol: Over the years, some local rules changed - ... Read More

It's really a shame about Split - I love Pala膷a Dioklecijanova, Jadransko More, and otoci - but the nationalism of Hajduk hooligans in the city is awful. And they are everywhere, not only in Poljud. :( Read More

ARRIVAL TO CROATIA
You will need to pay a vinjeta (toll) to pass through Slovenia. As far as I can tell, the price is EU15 for a weekly vinjeta, EU30 for monthly, and EU90 for a yearly pass. I have driven in Croatia with only my normal license, never an international ... Read More

I have friends from Cairo who frequently visit Split, too. (He's Croatian, she's Austrian, the kid is growing up in Cairo, completely international :) ) It's the most beautiful country I've ever visited. It's impossible to be disappointed. Enjoy! Read More

I live na 聤olti half the year, and have traveled all over Jugo countries since the 1980s - the late Jugoslav era. I can say that in the 6 years since I bought my island property, it's not that the prices at markets are going up - but currency ... Read More
Formalities to bring your pet in Croatia by Julien
Hi all, What are the formalities and paperwork required to bring your pet in Croatia? How long do formalities & paperwork usually take in Croatia? What are the relevant authorities to contact? Which vaccines are compulsory? Do your pets ...
No quarantines there. It's fairly easy. The only required vaccination is rabies and you might be asked to show proof, depending on how you arrive. Some airlines require the pet micro-chip, as this is an EU travel requirement - but nobody upon ... Read More

If you happen to visit Serbia and buy a t-shirt there, you might be told not to wear it in Dalmatia (it's happened to me) If you're gay, it's probably best to hide it. Maybe this is not a big issue in Zagreb, but it still is in Split. Read More
Getting residency as a self-employed person by sla
Hi, my wife and I are US citizens holding US passports. I run a business on the internet that basically requires nothing from me other than having an internet connection and a local bank account. We are looking at options into establishing ...
