"Expats in Porec often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as Croatian is a difficult language to learn and not everyone speaks English. They may also struggle with the slower pace of life, which can be frustrating when dealing with bureaucratic processes or business transactions. The cultural emphasis on close-knit family and community ties can also be difficult for expats who are used to more individualistic societies. Additionally, some expats may find it challenging to adapt to the local cuisine, which is heavily based on seafood and meat. Lastly, the high level of smoking in public places can be off-putting for those coming from countries with stricter smoking regulations," remarked another expat in Porec, Croatia.
