What is it like to retire in Croatia?
We asked retirees what it is like retiring in Croatia. They said...
"Retirees in Croatia and its surroundings enjoy a relaxed lifestyle with plenty of opportunities for recreation and cultural attractions. There is an active expat community in the area, with many retirees from other countries choosing to settle in Croatia. There are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy, such as hiking, biking, and swimming, as well as cultural attractions like museums, galleries, and historic sites. There is also a vibrant nightlife scene, with plenty of bars, clubs, and restaurants to explore. Retirees in Croatia and its surroundings can enjoy a relaxed and fulfilling lifestyle," remarked another expat who made the move to Croatia.
"No need for expat communities, but with a couple of international friends too. Croatia knows many cultural attractions, especially in Zagreb and Split, with tons of festivals, concerts and expositions. Recreation, certainly for active people is all around, and at least half the year the Adriatic offers all options for water lovers," explained one expat living in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
