We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.
amzn.to/2L55pDR
We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Next time plan at least a month!!!
Thanks buudy

Croatia is the most beautiful place I've been! (I do a lot of traveling). When someone ask me where I'd go again, I ALWAYS say Croatia!!!
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful experience

only tourists are allowed to wear water shoes.
_real Croats are brave_
Actually,we make fun of them with that shoes
Yea
Only kids wear those here ;)
We rush into the water as fast as possible,the ones who get in slowly are officialy virgins.

To all of the Croatian people reading this, I have an orange cat named Bundeva!!! 😸🤪😺
funzjag hahahah wow nice name
How?! Lol
Viktor T. Thanks!
I have a cat with a Croatian name too- his name is Budala. 😻
trance212 Budala means dummy doesn’t it?
Only real Croats don't need water shoes😂
😂😂😂
Yes we dont wear water shoes cause our feet are more rough cause when were kids, like 2 yrs old we were walking on rocks😂😂
Real Croats step on sea urchins and then get the various spines picked out with broken shells.
Yes, yes😂😂
I've lived in Croatia 9 years and I've never worn the shoes because they look stupid 😂😂
My favorite thing about being croatian is when the tourists pronounce EVERYTHING wrong 😂😂

As a Croatian, I have to say this is a good video, the only DON'T that is not correct is the one about tipping. Tipping is not mandatory as in some other countries, especially in a certain percentage. Ofcourse you should leave a tip if you were satisfied with the service/food, it's polite and makes both parties happy. And yeah, some of us may be proud but we don't get offended easily, especially if you're a tourist...

Ok so I'm 14 and I've lived in Croatia for 10 years now and let me tell you, we are a small Country with only 4.4 million people and I love seeing TH-camrs make videos about hiw beautiful Croatia is. It really is an amazing place to go during the summer. The ocean is all around you in the hot weather and there is old churches, houses and museums everywhere. There is so many nice places to go. I can only recommend it.
Hello miss kath good day,, if may I ask is it safe to work in Croatia? I'm planing to work there.. Thanks in advance..
@@docm2172 yea. You didn't really specify what you would work as. But yes. I would recommend some in the direction of tourism. Being a seller also isn't bad (cars etc.)
@@docm2172 the currency in Croatia is KUNA. A cook for example earns approximately 10,500 kuna a month which is 1,600 US DOLLARS.
Shazna I don’t suggest working in Croatia, the wages here are average or below average. Every year, more and more young people are moving out of our country after finishing school to look for a better place to live. Just a suggestion from a Croat, cheers.
ocean???
They have every right to be proud of their football team!!
Kim Lamphere yeah the welcome for them to come back after a month was so big I was so happy to see around 550 000 peapole welcome them to Zagreb
Thx 😢
Thank you!
Thanks!
Kim Lamphere lol yeeeeehhh sure... They are to pround if u ask me. They kept me up all night with the fireworks and all (I'm coratain BTW)
English is a compulsory subject in croatian schools. 8 years in primary school, and then the secondary school. So, yes, people do know english around here
Ivan Poparić yep whell in my school English is secondary but eh ik English I'm the best in my class, well my godfathers and godmothers son is the same age as me but hes a little older then me Like few weeks we know English Like the same as well so we're kinda budys we sometimes talk in English trough meseges and when we see eachother is person
I znam mogla sam na hrvatskom jer imaš ć u prezimenu ali meh
I believe you that you're the best in your class but still what you wrote has some incorrect stuff :,) p.s also from Croatia
Ja dalje mislin da dobro pricamo engleski jer ga nakon skole dosta koristimo i odrzavamo. Najvise smatram da je to zbog titlovanih filmova. Konstanto slusas i citas, odrzavas jezik. Pogledaj zemlje koje sinkroniziraju filmove, malo i nista pricaju engleski iako su ga imali u skoli
LSU znam znam pričanje mi ide ali pisanje ne

@Aleksa Stankovic It is heartwarming to read your post. I'm an American of part Croatian decent. As an American, I've never experienced the dislike between Serbs and Croats. Lately, I've heard more about the two peoples getting along and I believe that is a very good thing. Have a Wonderful and Blessed day. 🙏
Never wear water shoes around Croatians, we are allergic to those things😂
Oh no 😂 How do you guys manage to walk around the rocky beaches?! I'm afraid I will look funny when I visit this year, apologies in advance if you see a pale english girl awkwardly walking on your beaches haha.
I sure am
@@elfylaura2673 i'm like 11 years old. I HATE water shoes so I had to get used to walking on stones and rocks. So yeah
@@elfylaura2673 haha you may walk funny but so do we 😂 plus it is much healthier to walk bearfoot for your back and feet. I hope you enjoy your stay 😁
@@mihaelamiocevic9720 Lol that's so wrong, don't listen to her, wear your shoes if you want to, I actually advise you to do so because it's dumb not to wear them. Like, why would you suffer in agony when you don't have to. I'm a Croatian and my family and I always wear water shoes.
i would add one more thing. Don't skip the "inland" part of country. The seaside is great but the rest of the country is beautifull as well (best example are Plitvička jezera).
Yes. I was editing and couldn't believe I forgot that part. Zagreb and mountainous part needed more representation in the video
Wolters World a lot of work u have here.
Pozdrav
Add Rastoke!
And you can enter Plitvice freely! What a gem! For me, it's the best national park in Europe. Hands down. The park itself and the structure behind it. Very nice indeed.
Dont forget Slavonija my friend
I am Italian and in my experience Croatians speak exactly as they think. Also they like those who show respect and have a good behaviour. If you have these two qualities you can make many croatian friends. I remember never ending conversations with croatians met right in the street. Just be fair and respectful
May God bless you and your family Gianfranco W, also Italy my favourite Country ! Greetings from a Croatian from Germany!
Tomislav Đurin Gianfranco W was a bold boy if nobody wanted to listen to him !!
Dikka Laber keinen
Advice for italians if you want to give respect try to tip sometimes
@gamewizard I What about fascists? You seriously wanna bring history up? We, Croats, don't like talking about history because it seems like in the Balkan everybody disagrees with others... Its safer not to talk about it, at least not face to face.
I was in Trogir a few years ago and instantly felt instantly in love with Croatia. Right now I'm visiting Novigrad.
was that in Istria? because there are 2 Novigrads in Croatia🤣❤️
@@dlibyhgabz yeah 😂
It's funny how many Croats actually HATE sand beaches 😂 I guess we are so used to rocks 😂
I fucking hate the sandy beaches thank god they are rare here in pula maybe 2 of em.
I dont like being with no shoes on sand lol but I do it
@@svenci6441 da tako i u splitu, bačvice i firule to je to
I personally prefer sand beaches, there's a really really good one in Sabunike near Nin.
Croatian over here speaking.... Biggest don't of them all (adding to the last one)....Never, never ever ever refuse free food and drinks especially if offered to you by older people. Even if you are full....take just a few bites if you really cant eat but never refuse....cuz even if you do give a good reason why you cant eat you will be asked again and again for like 10 times and then they will get mad 😂😂
Spiky_haha Its not true
SadGuya 1 ye it is
I thinked that they will get mad and ask like Say 10 times
Wtf nobody gives me nothing maybe wen i get pregnet then
Umm well...that isn’t entirely true because you do need to now the difference between a person trying to Nicely give you food and the sketchy ones that look like they will poison you
I’m from croatia and think the people are AMAZING and so sooo nice but there like in any country have some weird and sketchy people!
And please do not litter!
I have seen hundreds of tourists littering streets and sea
Yeah, we really try to keep the sea clean. Well at least I do
This would be item number one on the list for me as a Croat

ROVINJ
JELI RADI DOBRE BUREKE
Was on holiday in Croatia a couple of weeks ago . What a fantastic country. Agree with everything you said but one add on is tap water is ok to drink no need to buy loads of bottled water. And the cevapci is to die for :)
Pat Savage 😂 ćevapi best food glad to hear you like them come back to Croatia soon if posible and enyoiy Croatia
Pat Savage
Actually, ćevapčići is a meal from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
If you liked cevapi in Croatia, you would probably LOVE them in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the mainland of cevapi :)
our tap water is one of the best waters in europe, btw the bottled water you can buy there is that same water actually coming from jana spring or velebit. trust me lol my uncle from germ was buying it and only later realized it was the same water. as a croat i can assure u it is the truth
Pat Savage CEVAPI ARE LIFE HERE OK if you respect cevapi, god, our football (team) you're welcome.:)))
And also 2 things:
1) Please don't swim on your floaties to the islands that seem close bc they are NOT
2) Don't hike in your flip flops bc you are most likely going to brake few bones or even die
(The first one refers especially on Czech and Slovak tourists bc I'm done with the everyday news about few Czech/Slovak lads floating from Zadar to Ugljan (15 km) and almost drowning
Domagoj Tušek also DO NOT put ur (rented) yacht on autopilot while u go drink wodka below deck and also DO NOT go kayaking when locals tell u there is a storm coming. (Refering to the russians that autopiloted their boat straight into an island and all of them died horribly and horribly drunk I guess in the resulting explosion, and the tourist who 2 years ago died while kayaking through a storm after she was warned about the weather... me and my dad found the peddels a few days after washed up on a beach)
And ps DO NOT try to kiss the oleander flowers; they are deadly poisonous xd (saw a german tourist try that had to stop him lol) u can touch the plant but wash hands before touching ur mouth or food and such, don't let kids play w this plant pls. Romans used it to make a poisonous drink for executions so did medieval housewives to get rid of their husbands etc. Little fun fact :D
V Vv 👍😃
Be smart on vacation
And dont touch a snake called "poskok" . It is poisonous snake a we have case last summer when tourist from Netherland touch this snake on mountain Biokovo and almost died. It is not like in Australia or Africa but but be careful in nature.
Ma di 15 km čovječe, od Zadra do Ugljana je 5-6 km :D
much love from serbia :-*
Croatia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. I am from Norway and we are proud of our clean water, but clearer water than in Croatia you should look for a long time. In addition, my asthma was gone all week while we were in Croatia. We were at Brac, the people were wonderful and the food was good. Really recommend a trip to this country.
Croatia for the win! Love France, but 🇭🇷!
Nubianette same here, I am French- Canadian, but I think Croatia 🇭🇷 deserves a chance
I am french french and I respectfully disagree with you. Allez les bleus 🐓⚽️🇫🇷
Guilhem Félicitations, mais ce n’est pas la France qui a gagné!! C’est plusieurs pays africains 😉😉😉
Nubianette thx for seying that I'm from Croatia and I don't hate France but my dad does Idk why but anyways the welcome for croatian football team was like olmoust 7 hours they we're 6 hours driving from the airport to the main place where the event was happening and they landed around 2 or 3 pm not really shure but I'm glad that there is so much love for Croatia i mean I'm crying when i hear how peapole that are not croatian cheer for Croatia and support it
Nubianette thx broh for supporting croatia the country im Born in lol
as a croatian, you pretty much nailed everything :D
thank you :) hvala
nema na čemu! hope you have a wonderful time in my country :)
Is the tipping thing true?? I was never told to tip :o
Only partially true, meaning that it is not expected from you to tip but it's greatly apreciated since waiters dont have big salaries to begin with.
But it's not like 10% is obligated, it's more like for example if the bill is 115 kunas you round it up to 120 kunas (that's roughly one dollar tip) or if you are really happy with service or feeling generous you can round it up to 150 kunas (around 5 bucks tip) etc.
Oh and don't feel preasured to tip, you can only tip if you are satisfied with waiters service :)
As a semi-Croatian: Agreed! :)
I'm going there this weekend . I can't wait . I love Croatia and their people . So helpful and welcoming and we haven't even arrived yet .
As far as tipping in restaurants goes:
Ask the server if they get to keep it. There are some restaurant owners that do not allow the server to keep the tips we give.
That's everywere bosses are not obligated to share tips
@@taekedewit that is bs.i would never leave a tip if i know boss will take it.i worked in bars,restaurants and i never let anyone to touch my tips.you are giving it to person who served you and they deserve it. if service is not good you dont leave it.
BS ? I worked over 10 years as a Cook and run several restaurant so keep youre thoughts to yourself before you make a fool out of youreself
And yes my spelling isnt perfect om dutch not english
@@taekedewit yes it is bs.i would share my tips with the cook always bc he did half of the job.but that's it. so when boss takes up his ass,runs around like a moron(bc i am the only one working as waitress),takes bs from guests who always have something to say,when he doesn't have time to drink water or eat for 10 hours,and he is doing all of that with a smile on his face(don't forget i am running in the middle of the summer,across the street!!! to serve guests while AC is off and you are working for a min.wage while he is buying new car and building apartmants), he can take my tips.
Who still calls them Yugoslavia? That would be like going to Czechia and calling them Czechoslovakia.
Some Brits do for sure. They say Czechoslovakia as well but Czechs and Slovaks are not so angry for this from my experience.
The Czechoslovakia thing is more common than you think
you would be surprised :)
It's like calling Russia the "Soviet Union".
Or Ukraine russia.
I love stone / rocky beaches. No sand on your feet, in your car, in your bags. Laying on a flat hot rock feels amazing.
I totally agree with you!
stefano giovannini yes some peapole Like stone beach some sand beach and yeah i like stone beaches more too XD
the only problem is finding that flat rock
Valter Omerović oh for the frog or whatever is called on English
Ella B Lmao frog😂😂😂😂
Well, compliments to you sir. You figured it out very quickly. Respect! Enjoy Croatia, always welcome :-)
Dubrovnik; first place I visited outside the U.S. Loved it!
greetings from dubrovnik!
Water shoes? But then you don't experience the real Croatia!
Great video!
WELCOME TO CROATIA!
This true :)
I am croatian and i agree
Tipping in Croatia is actually not mandatory, nor is it expected. Of course, the waiters are happy to receive it, but nowhere does it say you should tip and I have no idea where you got those 10% from. No need to feel awkward if you don't wanna tip, especially if the service is not extraordinary.
Of course it's not mandatory, It's not mandatory anywhere. Your post is like saying: Don't tip in Croatia. I can tell you've never waited tables.
Bravo panglu
@@Imikacic It's different than in the US for example, in US tipping is basically mandatory because they have a smaller starting salary so they expect to earn rest of salary via tips. Meanwhile, in Europe, everyone has a decent starting wage, so tips are just bonuses. So 2 totally different situations.
@@Imikacic Nah, in the USA, if you don't tip you're frowned upon
@@jdalbion well, salary in croatia isn't very good either... everything may be cheap for tourists but for us here isn't so it's nice when someone tips you even if you are only selling ice cream...
was in cavtat during the world cup, most amazing thing i have ever experienced... so proud to be croatian!! 🇭🇷🇭🇷💙❤️
I'm an American living in Split x 6 months. This video was absolutely spot on! Well done! Makes me want to go watch all your videos! Hvala!
3:28 thats how Croats know you are a tourist hehe
Filip Matković not rlly true , I do the same thing even tho I'm Croatian and I go normally every year to the beach
Danja Creeper :-P Being a tourist doesnt mean you have to be from another country it means that you visit a place where you dont live. So if you dont live near the coast you are a tourist wearing those shoes.
Filip Matković yes, for example if you're from Zagreb and come to Zadar, they will consider you a tourist.
mommy ` exactly
Filip Matković :-D daaaa hahaha
That water looks so amazing....great tips Mark!
Thanks! It really was. aside from those rocks and an occasion sea anemone :) but yeah, loved our time there. Seemed like you had a good time in croatia too from your videos :) all the best where ever you find yourself in the world these days.
Yeah Croatia is awesome, I'd love to go back and see more.
It is. Stayed a couple weeks on my last visit and wanted to stay longer.
Gab what country are u in now ?
Translation ta voda izgleda super...dobre upute Mark
Croatian here! I recommend paying in kuna (HRK) even though you can pay some things in euros. Paying in kunas is wiser currency value wise :-)
I'm from Croatia and i really love my country my advice is to go to islands, Pula, Split, Šibenik, Zadar and Dubrovnik. Also if u want to go somewhere in the middle maybe visit the capital city Zagreb and visit Slavonija. I think every part of Croatia is special and different. Also you can visit Plitvička jezera and Slapovi Krke🌎❤
Ili nek sam dođe kod mene 😂
Dodaj još i možda Stubičke Toplice. Malo poslije Zagreba (preko Medvednice) a super je tu.
Zagreb je ruzan

Who does that anyway?!
4:28 too late
Tipping is not required in Croatia. We pay our waiters and Tipping is usually done only when you are really satisfied with the service.
Mom's spaghetti i guess you never worked in hospitality lololololol, who would work as waiter if noone tipped them?? It only makes sense to work that hard with basically no days off for months because of the tips, or you maybe think that 5000kn is awsome wage
Even with what you said, tipping is not required in Croatia. People usually tip few HRK to round up the bill, but it is not required to give anyone 10-15-20% because our waiters are getting paid normal salaries.
I have never said you should never tip, of course, it is welcomed. But it is NOT required and no one will spit in your food because you haven't given them a tip.
Food spitting usually happens if you are being an obnoxious douchebag. :D
Mom's spaghetti exactly!! People usually tip in countries where workers get paid bare minimum.
Mom's spaghetti what is a normal salary in tourism for you?
Pusti ljude nek daju mancu ljudima sta seres, odmazes nam samo
I’m half Croatian, the second one is so important. My family left Croatian in 1960, my grand parents suffered greatly all of our family that stayed in Croatia died in conflict my aunts and uncles hearts still bleed for their lost family.
Him: “Wine is something they are proud of.”
Me: My Nona lived on Hvar and made wine until she moved to the US.
One tip. The Croation coast has lots of houses with rooms for rent. Many of them have there own kitchens and bathrooms. It can be better and cheaper than pre-booking a hotel. They usually display a sign at the front, walk up and knock on their door, try visiting the local tourist information centre to get some more info or keep an eye out around ports or ferry terminals for owners looking for business.
Driver6M I would add, visit/stay in little towns on the coast. All of them are beautiful and cosy.
Most of the apartments are pre booked so is better to find one on the internet and prenote one and then come to Croatia..

its not that we dont want to take Euro, its just that Croatia did not convert to Euro jet and its against the law to take other currencies, as it would be in any other country. If they catch anyone taking euro in ur store or restaurant they would probably shut it down with a ticket in numbers up to 50k Euros....
PRIX yeah
You can pay in Euros in Croatia but you need to have approval from ministry of finances i think, but it's complicated like everything in Croatia :D
I am from Croatia and in some stores they do accept euros
Tocno
As soon as I saw the j in yet I knew you were Croatian, Went to check out the channel and I was correct xD
Imas dobre videe frende ahahhahahahah
It's simply sensational after just 27 years the restorative beauty and aesthetic appeal that has been brought to Croatia after the war and conflict. There is a deeply rooted sense of pride in the Croatian people in their tourist product offering and that really stood out to me during my time spent there. It touched me personally and I really admire and appreciate that aspect of their being
@Jerome Beharry wow,beautiful comment.Thanks and greetings from Pearl of Adriatic(Dubrovnik).
I stayed in a few locations in Croatia--went by myself for 2 weeks. I had an amazing time and the people are truly very warm and welcoming. It's a beautiful place and HVAR was my favorite stop. The whole island smells like lavender when there's a breeze and the food is delicious. Many people speak English so it is very easy to make your way around...people are so helpful.
Thank you man for respecting my country☺️❤️🇭🇷
The most important thing about travelling in Croatia... Don't mention the VAR!
Nah, we don't care. We still had a big party! 😄😎👍
Don't worry! I won't do it. I know very well that Croatia was robbed in the final. Latin Americans countries, mine included, were supporting Croatia.
Margui622 thank you!! In Croatia we were cheering for Columbia and Uruguay
I was at the final... in fact went to 3 Croatia games during the WC, v Nigeria, England, and France. Cheered Croatia each time
Margui622 Tnx bro 💕
I love Croatia, been there three years in row now, different place every time!
If you are thinking of spending summer in Croatia, to skip wearing water shoes, and to enjoy the great beaches of Croatia, visit Makarska Riviera beaches. Places such as Brela or Baška voda. Trust me on this, for 17 years of enjoying those beaches, I never got my feet hurt😉
We've just filmed a long city walk in Rovinj Mark and watching this was so helpful to us. Thank you as always Mark.
Ahaha, I'll be in Croatia in a month, the timing of this video is perfect! THANKS.
Ahaha, I’ll be in Croatia in a month, the timing of this video is perfect! THANKS.
Auana Ghena cool when your here Welcome to the Silver Croatia, yeah that sounded better in my head enyways welcome
Thank you!
Auana Ghena what cities are you planning to visit? Also a quick tip since I just saw it few comments ago and it is rare in some countries: you can drink tap water, you don't need to buy waterbottles if you're planning to sleep in a hotel :)
Wow, thank you for the tip! We're happy to know that. I believe that we'll be around Krk island...
How Beautiful Croatia is.. Fantastic and it doesnt look super busy as others
well in august it can be super busy for sure :) but its great
Croatia has a lot to interesting places. In the summer it is so crowded, which is why many tourists (at least from my country) are increasingly choosing Montenegro and Albania. My friend chooses Albania, because prices are lower, there are no crowds and you feel like a real explorer. I love northern neighbor - Slovenia. Probably the most underrated country in Europe.
Szymon Zieliński thanks man
Kristijan Car Thank you.. i prefer smaller less busy places.
Uncle Chuckles
Maybe Budva in Montenegro. In July and August Croatia is crowded. It's better to go there at the beginning of September. If you want something similar at a low price, go to Saranda in Albania. I have not been there, but my friend has been going there for several years and is happy.
Nice video! Tnx man! :)
I ve been in split for ultra music festival , then i ve been in brac bol, then in dubrovnik..if u want to have fun the best option out of these for sure is brac bol but if u want to visit go for dubrovnik since its so nice there
Nice to hear a tourist treat my city with respect.I live in Dubrovnik,inside the city walls.I have some more don'ts though-
Don't sit in the middle of the street in the old town,especially in front of somebodys door or window
Dont yell so much as you are walking down the street,especially at night,like I said people do live here,my neighbour has two small children who get waken up all the time.I know you came here to party but you have to realize people live here and are not comfortable you behaving thois way in front of their home!
I didnt knew we sound like we r arguing😂 But I can understand why when I think about it lol
I am assuming this video is for those that have no cultural competency, many people are expressive when they talk. Really he had to reassure tourists that this is not arguing? The don'ts is just common sense? Saying something negative about the country in front of Locals? Ummm that would be stupid
Haha my mom and aunt were talking Croatian in a supermarket once, and one man actually asked if they were arguing. They were talking about watermelons.
@@vellabella1 I'm a new Zealander with Croatian heritage. We go there every year to visit our cousins in split. I constantly thought that my cousin and his mum were arguing when they talked. I asked him what they were always fightinf about and he said "no no just having chat we not arguing. I guess talking is different everywhere.
Cantonese and vietnamese are tonal langueges. Now Those 2 are the worst. Simple conversations seem like full blown arguments.
Well we do get loud and pretty much swear all the time
I am Croatian and I love this video. Very accurate. I especially liked that you mentioned small museums. You can find some real gems there.
Croatia is an incredible place to visit. Just beautiful.
I got back from Croatia a couple of days ago. Beautiful country and wonderful people. I can't wait to go back.
May God bless You and your homeland , your family ! Greetings from a Croatian!
Thanks pal.Welcome to our land...🎉🎉🎉
I’m Hispanic, from Miami. I’m used to people speaking like they’re in heated arguments. 😂
maddie2781 who Croatia and Serbia?
Ella B it’s not just Croatia and Serbia.. Bosnia does it too.
Well, the more you go south in Europe the more peoeple yell when they talk! 😄 Still, we don't yell as much as Italians.😂
Especially , the people from the Caribbean (Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico ( this a US territory ) They talk loud. Like they were on a market. Living in Miami for many years, you are used to it.
Margui622 😂🤣😂🤣
Thank you for exposing our beautiful country to the world. We really do rely heavily on tourism so it’s so nice to see someone appreciate it. Everyone should visit Croatia at least once.
Croatia is absolutely beautiful. We sailed from Monfalcone to Pula with several port calls along the way, and it was the best vacation I've ever had. If you've ever thought about visiting, do it, you won't be disappointed.
It is beautiful, but beauty isn't everything. The place gets overrun by over 20 MILLION tourists (mostly Germans) during the summer season. You can't even get a room for less than $300 if they're available at all. And the food is not good. It's super overpriced, over hyped and rarely tasty at all.
Wow!!! You visit the most amazing places.
Thank you. It was an amazing trip
Wolters World I’d love to know how you began traveling the world and how you can afford to do so so often. I mean, are you independently wealthy? I think you said once that you’re a professor, but even that career doesn’t seem to allow enough time or money for a whole family to afford all that. I’m only curious because I want to do what you’re doing. I’m so jealous. 🤓
JP M Probably sponsership thru social media.
Tekstil Art Wow aren't you a jealous hater, I hope your life gets better so you can be nicer to people, maybe you just need to get laid, good luck with that😉
Tekstil Art I don’t even know how to unpack all that is wrong with your question, but I am not going to sink to your level. I just want you to know that you’re being very hurtful because you are completely uninformed about this wonderful man. I hope to goodness that you don’t continue to act this way again toward someone you don’t know. It’s going to bring the quality of your life way, way down. What goes around comes around. True.
Terrific, awesome info!
Thanks for nice review! It is nice to hear that from someone who is not Croatian. You nailed it!
This is so comprehensive, thanks!
Croatian here. Thank you for your great and surprisingly correct video. Few corrections though: there are both rocky and sandy beaches in Croatia. I prefer rocky (pebbles) because sand gets everywhere in your clothes and body so it's only a matter of personal preference.
Also, tipping is not obligatory, but a way of showing appreciation to kitchen and/or service personnel. You can pay only what's on the bill, but if you were really satisfied, tip accordingly.
Greetings from Dubrovnik! 😊🇭🇷
Ivan Sentić Nice big kiss
Istina xD
Definitely on my bucket list.
Definitely on my bucket list.
Listy I 3rd that
Have fun when you get here!😁
Thanks
I'm from south of Croatia. You explained everything really well! Even your pronounciation of some our words and names is excellent, almost native. The only thing you missed just a bit is:
Tourists are expected to tip but locals don't have to. Waiters always come to return change and we can give some or take all no problem at all.
Wonderful video!
I love Croatia, probably my favorite European country! Split and Dubrovnik are two of the most beautiful cities I've ever been to.
I’ve been there in April and absolutely falling in love with Croatia. People are very nice and kind. Every city we’ve visitted is genuinely lovely and the food is really great. this is one of my most favourite country so far:)
I'm basically in Croatia every year, 4 hour drive from Bosnia, I love the sea and their beaches, it's beautiful.
I've been there last month! It was super awesomeee!
As an American Croatian, visiting Croatia after high school was one of the best experiences of my life. I highly recommend everyone visit and explore the beauty of the country. (Also you definitely don’t need water shoes, the pebbles aren’t that bad, and your skin is softer after)
I'm now in Croatia and i'm in Zagreb and i'll go to the Krka Falls
Looks like a beautiful country. I hope I can go there, someday. It is so great to know that they have pride in their country. That is how it is supposed to be, for every one. Mark, I love your vids. My 20-something daughter does too. She passes your vid links to so many of her friends. :)
That's awesome to hear. Thank you and your daughter :)

Europe is full of amazing landscapes, ancient places and especially rich in different cultures.
I'm german and from Bavaria (close to the Alps) and here we still celebrate pre-christian pagan traditions and every single time an american tourist happens to come here during any of these pagan traditions by accident and takes part or watches they always say things like "Oh wow, i had no idea this existed, none of my travel guides and books i read mentioned any of this."
Which is somewhat sad that american but also other travel guides ignore the ancient and deeply cultural events all over Europe. Usually people only come to Bavaria knowing about "Oktoberfest" and "Schloss Neuschwanstein".
The same goes for other areas and not only Bavaria, Germany. There are also pre-christian 1000+ year old festivities and traditions practiced every year in parts of Austria, Slovakia, France, Romania (especially the transylvanian region), Bulgaria etc.
We always are happy when some american tourists end up watching or taking part in these ancient traditions, because nobody advertises it for some reason, they always just end up experiencing it by accident.
I point this out here because i see it more and more often among american media claiming that there is barely anything cultural in Europe nor anything endangered, which is not true.
Recently a french photographer made it his mission to visit most of these pre-christian pagan traditions and festivities and take pictures.
Just google: Charles Fréger - Wilder Mann
Or check on youtube for traditions we have here in Bavaria like "Perchtenlauf" and if you ever come here, make sure to come by and experience it, it doesn't cost anything either and you'll learn a lot about something US and other worldwide media sadly ignores.
In Croatia there are also many things and traditions to see of the same vein that no travel guide seems to talk about sadly. Lots to explore over all.
Grüß di from Bavaria
brabham74 definitely go! I went last summer for 10 days and it was simply amazing!
It's a beautiful country.... for visiting and vacation! ...and then escaping to your more financially secure and more stable state in probably every other way in comparison.
Trust this from local.
Yess.. we have beautiful sea... luckily I live on it, otherwise, if I was inland, then I would be only visited this place newer in my life too.
And probably would live in Ireland too like the rest of my (smarter? unlucky? - don't know time would tell) country fellowmen...
and for the record, it's been called Croatistan, just for better class clarification.
We are proud people! So proud you could not even tell us things in-joke, because, it is our Christian right to be offended if you joke about our shit other nations let go in the past (proud example is WW2 and NDH, but every other topic would do too) So yes.. just be lucky to be in right part of the town and start that conversation... boy you would have so many memories to tell your grandchildren then!!! Probably you would laugh at that incident too, in some 10 years when your memory of that trauma would be clouded.
joss vicitoli 💕
As a Croatian (not living in Croatia), I must say I'm impressed with your list. I think you've really done your research, so good job with that! And man, do I just wanna be in Croatia right now. Those clips really made me miss the clear water...
Ive been randomly travelling around Europe for months and my new don’t do is, travel to a country without watching your videos first!!
Thank you for keeping me right man 👍
We were standing in the main square in Split when we saw this video being posted! Love Croatia. Also love your videos

lucky one! split was awesome.
3:06 A lot of times they sell water shoes at the beaches. And i really recommend getting/bringing them because walking on stone beaches feels like walking on Legos 😂
And not those comfortable legos either :)
xChrisS41x Uh Legos are the worst
If you truly give in to the stones, your feet will learn to tolerate the stones
Ouuuch!! ...water shoes are the best...thanks, Mark! 🐶
Lol- You can always tell the tourists from the locals by those shoes. I'm Croatian so I don't even feel the pain. But yeah, almost all tourists wear them
Thank you, I just spent 2 weeks island hopping. I love it! Watch out for early departures if in a group. Especially if on a boat 🤣🤣🤣
It's funny that I get this video recommended while I'm here on Vacation in Croatia 😂👍🏻 btw great video
