I have heard that there is a Car for Hire with Driver that can take us from Split to Dubrovnik. How safe are this and is there a company you can recommend.
Being an American myself I had an opportunity to travel through Europe which included a week in Croatia. I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that this is the most secure place that I ever had the chance to visit. There are no forbidden areas one can't enter. You can basically walk through any part of the city in any time of the day or night. Even in their largest city and capital Zagreb. Given that it's a fairly large city with metro population of around 1 million, it's still order of magnitude safer that similar sized cities in the North America, like Baltimore, Seattle , Denver, Boston, Portland, Las Vegas, etc... You won't believe that that kind of security is possible and you will either ask WTF is wrong with us or simply move your ass here..
this is the safety of Zagreb: Safety walking alone during daylight 93.62/100 Very High Safety walking alone during night 80.28/100 Very High and this is for Baltimore: Safety walking alone during daylight 47.52/100 Moderate Safety walking alone during night 17.57/100 Very Low i was not expecting such a big difference...
I WOULD SELL EVERYTHING IN CROATIA AND TAKE A SHIT ON THIS LAND TO GO TO AMERICA AND HAVE MY RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS AND PROTECT MYSELF FROM TYRANICAL GOVERNMENTS ...cause here they enslaved us .. then they pretended they freed us but they just enslaved us in the european union globalist cult ... ye we are "free" but not truly free in europe !
We spent 1 month all over Croatia in 2018, driving all the way, booking accomodation on the fly, from Istria to Zagreb and across to Hungary. All the way down the Dalmatian coast to Montenegro. We are from Sydney Australia and did this with 2 kids. Our experience was that Croatia is very safe, never once did we have an issue. The roads are relatively good, the people friendly and accommodating and even in the most touristy areas we never once were ripped off or overcharged for anything. We travelled all through Europe that trip and I could honestly say, Croatia is probably the country we felt safest in even though we did not know the language. As for the sea urchins.......yes agree they are probably the most dangerous thing you will encounter, invest in a pair of reef shoes and problem solved.
Bravo Sarah! 😘 Jedna napomena, NIKAKO apsolutno NIKAKO, ići na Biokovo, Velebit i ostale planine u šlapama bez vode i kratkim hlačama, šorcu i to, bar 1 do dvije boce vode, obavezan napunjen mobitel!!
regarding hiking - don't do it in flip-flops , wear proper hiking shoes, because plenty of tourists have had to be rescued because they went hiking unprepared for it, like they were going to the beach rather than mountains
Ovo treba napisat na svim jezicima..... u svim formama, jer je nevjerojatan broj onih koji su bili spašavani danima a neke nikad nisu ni pronašli.... ili su ih pronašli prekasno, zato oprez!!
When we first moved to Europe in January 2017 we lived in Zagreb for two months. I never once felt in any danger walking to Croatian lessons or the gym after dark. My wife walked alone after dark to her lessons and felt the same way. You would not do that in the center of a large American city. And, I must also add, we felt the same way walking together at night during the time we lived in Beograd.
Also on sandy beaches, be careful not to step on spider-fish (riba pauk). It has a poisonous spine on it's dorsal fin. They can really be poisonous, and usually fishermen are stung, ending up in the hospital. If untreated you can die. But on crowdy beaches they are usually absent (in deeper water).
All you have to do put something really hot next to where you got stung, either put your hand in hot water, or just use a lighter and hover around your hand as long as you can. Poison cant stand the heat, First time i got stung as a kid i didnt know this and yea it got pretty bad until i reached hospital and then they just put my hand in very hot water and it was done in few minutes. But becouse i was late to go to hospital my hand is now 15 years later still little bit swollen and bigger than the other one.
We used to get the spikes out with tweezers when we were kids. It was a normal thing. I was once running on the beach as a kid and landed with both feet in a kid-made pool filled with sea urchins. Took me hours and days to get them all out :D Fun times
There is one simple way to remove them - use those sticky depilation gel. Somebody once told me about that but I didn't pay much attention, but when I accidentally stepped on one (I slipped from the rock I was standing on), I had opportunity to try. It worked perfectly. Just don't rip off fast (like during depilation, but slowly) and it should all comes out. Anyway, if you are in the situation, you can try that as well...
We are so excited. My grandfather, Jerome Sorich, came to the u.s. from Zadar in 1920. Croatia was more open than other countries when we made reservations. So we made plans for August! Can't wait!!
@@ed0_med0 it was the greatest surprise we've ever encountered on a number of fronts! First, the history and beautifully maintained medieval cities peppered throughout the country made us feel we were in a fairy tail. The water was the clearest I've ever seen. The food was great everywhere, even the simplest fair. We felt safe everywhere we went, and it seemed everyone had their place in society. But most of all, we were made to feel very welcome at every corner and turn. People didn't gush or make a big deal over is, but we felt that we were home. And all the extra little things waiters and hotel owners and shop owners did for us caused us to call everyone family. I love the hidden gem called Croatia. It'll forever be our home away from home!
A tip I learned from living in Hawaii with lots of sea urchins… we soak the affected area in vinegar or urine (if you’re brave enough) it helps loosen/dissolve the spikes from the urchin. Thank you for all the tips in this video it is super helpful to know when traveling. Looking forward to visiting Croatia soon. ❤️
I love your videos but just wanted to add that "bura" is a specific wind that blows from the coast out to sea. It is cold and the sea is always colder after bura. "Jugo", which blows from the south, or along the coast is regarded as more dangerous.
Bura is north wind and danger for sailors but there is also summer storm which rises quick and usually makes problems, also if they say there will be SW wind or Lebic don't go out to sea but in most cases we have nice weather with no big problems.
Hi Sarah! I absolutely love your channel and your videos/vlogs! I am originally from Croatia. I currently live in Canada with my immediate family (since 2000). I’d love to meet you and your family in Zagreb hopefully this summer ❤️ I feel we would have such great discussions! Huge props to you for learning Croatian and adapting so quickly. Your kids are super adorable and I love that they speak both languages. 🤗
Sara, for sailors is NEVERA more dangerous then bura and it comes suddenly during the summer. I suppose that all sailors know about site with sea weather information. Those who don´t use it just have to follow all bigger boats when they are all sailing to the same place. Though, I heard turists with small boats say that something is happening somewhere when all boats are sailing to the same place. No, it is nevera coming, try to find sure place as soon as possible because it can take only 20 minutes before the storm from hell begins.
I’ve seen Nevera storms turning day into night within 2 minutes. Suddenly wind at 120km/h. Very steep waves. Half a meter above sea level unbreathable water foam. Listen carefully to weather forecast.
Here are some first hand tips from the local resident, i will be realistic and critical instead of patriotic. 1. I am 15 years in renting business on coastal croatia, and i never heard about a single situation of pickpocketing. 2. Sea urchins wouldnt be there if the sea wasnt clean. 3. Taxis arent expensive, taxies mostly have flat rate for anywhere in city. While i was in dubrovnik few years ago, it was 8 euros, today its maybe 10 euros. But thats wasted money anyways, since all touristy cities are literally miniature and with the todays traffic, you are most likely get faster with your feet than with a taxi haha. 4. Ticks are mostly spread out in the spring, never saw a tick in the middle of the summer. But snakes are the one that you should avoid. Do not try to panic or to suck out the snake's poison, do not try to trail/hike in the flip-flops. 5. Tap water is tastier in croatia than bottled water. At some places, tap water is higher in PH and minerals than bottled water, due to ZERO factories. Croatia's economy is oriented in service, not in the production, so everything is visitable due to nonexisting pollution. 6. Mines are much bigger problem. Most of the areas that are cleaned, are our own mines, and not the serbian ones haha. We dont really know where theirs are haha. We are not two friendly nations so they do not want to inform us where are the mines haha. So yea, dont be reckless and brave, there is no need to lose your life or your legs, stick to the road. 7. Sailing is great, do not be afraid of northeast wind called "bura", bura's season ends in month of may and thats when the tourist sailing starts, due to weaker and preferable wind. In the summer, you should be careful of the true northen wind called "tramuntana", wich creates big waves that are untameable for tourists, but great and beautiful for the advanced sailors. One more thing to avoid at all costs, is the sailing on the slowly bubling south wind called "jugo". It is dangerous, cuz in few hours you will find yourself in jugo's storm thats called "nevera", wich can and will result with wrecking your boat to the rocks on the shore and losing your and your crews life. You will have the feeling like the sea is moving really fast in its own ways under the boat. So rather follow the weather prognossis, to dodge the risks.
I am compelled to stop whatever i am doing, and say thank you to this channel. I have been blessed to become familiar with the Hrvatski community in northeast Ohio. And, this channel is like salt on my eggs!
The only problem with water is the amount of calcium. If you have kidney problems do not drink. And, because of the calcium in the water, your belly will make a lot of noise in digestion.
There is no ghettos, no-go zones, no terrorists, women can walk alone at any time of day or night where ever she like... There's a reason for that, just like in the rest central and east Europe, but we'll skip that. Biggest problem is if you step on a tiny animal in the sea :D
No, it’s a fun event for all the kids around you from the moment you step on the sea urchin at the end of the holiday the kids will laugh at you and very often you can see kids 6-10 years old taking them out and moving them, mostly having fun with them
Yeah no. There definitely are ghettos. Mostly gypsy village ghettos in the north of Croatia. And they are basically no go zones. I live near one and people don't go in it without police protection (unless it's government officials bringing Christmas presents)
mislim da turisti nebi nikako trebali ići negdje sami u planinarenje jel ne znaju područje pa lako zalutaju i desi se zlo a što se tiće mina toga mislim da po moru gdje idu baš i nema više kod nas u slavoniji ako još igdje ima ;)
I would mention safe driving on all, especially local roads. Mostly very narrow, damaged, without fall protection barriers and bumpers, two way traffic and no proper pedestrian walkways.

No it's not. Evisitor is the platform for registration of the guests which use all legal entities or natural persons who rent own properties for tourism purposes. Enter Croatia is form which is founded now in covid times and probably helps the Croatian government to register who is coming in Croatia.
Croatia isnt dangerus we only have three posions snakes and all are not dedly if you know how to act and never saw a shark in life and I live next to sea
Actually, poskok is the most poisonous European snake and can be deadly if you don't act on time and they live around some of the popular Croatian hiking trails. They stay clear of people though and you have to be really really unlucky to get into a situation where they'll decide to bite you instead of running away.
I know you're trying with all of your heart to present yourself as a Canadian. Thing is that you look like a 100% ethnical Croat. You have some facial features that some female family members of mine have, and I'm Serbian. Or you belong to some other Slavic ethnicity? Peace n love from a Serb.
You know Europeans emigrated to Canada so they're also white there? White people in general share similar facial features. Same way black or Asian people do. It's only natural she looks similar to someone you know. She's Canadian. There's no hidden agenda here. Stop being paranoid.

There is no such thing as a "private beach", shoreline belongs to everybody; it is not even government property. The law that regulates this matter is called Zakon o Pomorskom dobru. Foreign tourists should not expect any private beaches, even though there are misleading adverts that suggest otherwise.

Good advice: don’t wear any Serbian football dress or any dress from Red Star Belgrade, Partizan Belgrade or Dinamo Zagreb in Dalmatia ...otherwise it might turn out pretty unpleasantly for you.

One of the dangers in Croatia that wasn't mentioned in the video - it's full of simple minded people like these two. Advice for travelers - whenever one of the local people starts mentioning a persons nationality or events that happened 3 decades ago, just give that person a wide berth.

Why in the world do you even ask that question? The question itself obviously makes people insecure and many will believe that there is an underlying reason for asking the question. Would you ask the same thing about eg Austria? Croatia is one of the safest countries in the world and there is no reason at all to even pose the question whether the country is safe.

In Croatia the only thing is if you are solo traveler woman you may find good looking hot Croatian guy lol...I am Croatian poz iz Kanade Milica Skupnjak PHD MDH ty you are great ....info channel bravo
Just to add, a few years ago I stumbled on a website about country safety which it turned out was done by the American CIA and it said Croatia was one of the safest countries to be in and also to point out, certainly in my area of Dalmacija, single line women still hitchhike to and from work completely safely. The only crime I’ve noticed that has increased over the years is robberies of banks, post offices and shops, but this is still rare and obviously doesn’t affect the individual tourist. As Sarah said DEFINITELY agree price in the taxi before, certainly in Dalmacija some will charge you double if they think you’re green, maybe get a local to order for you whether that be the Konobar in the restaurant to go home or someone at your accommodation so you can go out, and actually don’t dismiss local buses 🚍, they’re cheap and clean but usually don’t work much past 23:30
Also if You are going to be near Vukovar or similar former war plauged areas here is a rhyme Watch the signs , don't step on mines This is no joke 2 pyrotechnics died due to atempting to disarm a mine If you don't want to die read the signs and listen 🧨🏕☠ 👓⚠️✅

The only problem with water is the amount of calcium. If you have kidney problems do not drink. And, because of the calcium in the water, your belly will make a lot of noise in digestion.
There is no ghettos, no-go zones, no terrorists, women can walk alone at any time of day or night where ever she like... There's a reason for that, just like in the rest central and east Europe, but we'll skip that.
Biggest problem is if you step on a tiny animal in the sea :D
Very true!
And it should remain that way.
No, it’s a fun event for all the kids around you
from the moment you step on the sea urchin at the end of the holiday the kids will laugh at you
and very often you can see kids 6-10 years old taking them out and moving them, mostly having fun with them
Yeah no. There definitely are ghettos. Mostly gypsy village ghettos in the north of Croatia. And they are basically no go zones. I live near one and people don't go in it without police protection (unless it's government officials bringing Christmas presents)
me and you are quite opposite im croatian and live in canada and your canadian in croatia
mislim da turisti nebi nikako trebali ići negdje sami u planinarenje jel ne znaju područje pa lako zalutaju i desi se zlo a što se tiće mina toga mislim da po moru gdje idu baš i nema više kod nas u slavoniji ako još igdje ima ;)
I would mention safe driving on all, especially local roads. Mostly very narrow, damaged, without fall protection barriers and bumpers, two way traffic and no proper pedestrian walkways.
olive oil, use it it will make them come out much faster :)
Kad idemo u more s klincem, žena i ja ostavimo mobitele nešto novaca i ključeve u kolicima, ispod ručnika i slično....nikada nam nije ništa nestalo. Naprimjer kada idemo na kupanje u mađarsku, e tamo se to ne usudim napraviti... pozz
E da, što se tiče planinarenja dođite na Jankovac, nećete požaliti....
Hey Sarah! You have forgotten to say: "Beware of people eating too much grah. Don't use any lighters or matches!" 😂
:D
Kaboom
Hahah a definite danger!! lol
Believe ti or not, "fart burning" is considered a first class amusement among "misbehaving" croatian teenagers.
HAHAHAHA yes, and if you eat grah and luk you get suzavac (pepper gas)
Please answer! Is the EVisitor registry the same as the Enter Croatia-form system?
No it's not. Evisitor is the platform for registration of the guests which use all legal entities or natural persons who rent own properties for tourism purposes. Enter Croatia is form which is founded now in covid times and probably helps the Croatian government to register who is coming in Croatia.
Please make a video on affordable hotels or PG and hostel. Please explain how we can book them online and what are they cost
I didn't know that Croatia was in Canada.
I'd love to visit Croatia. Pretty sure I'm still considered a fugitive there though😅
How so?
Are children's passports Canadian or Croatian? Love and kiss for you
Hehe a mix at the moment!

hello,
What is best taxi to book in advance through in croatia? which are the safest?
But... What about Vukojarac??
Is there any money in it?
My lady, in Croatia there isn't private beaches. Best regards for a video
Croatia isnt dangerus we only have three posions snakes and all are not dedly if you know how to act and never saw a shark in life and I live next to sea
Actually, poskok is the most poisonous European snake and can be deadly if you don't act on time and they live around some of the popular Croatian hiking trails. They stay clear of people though and you have to be really really unlucky to get into a situation where they'll decide to bite you instead of running away.
@M G u forgot the people...
2022 ,15th place safety land 🍻👍
I know you're trying with all of your heart to present yourself as a Canadian. Thing is that you look like a 100% ethnical Croat. You have some facial features that some female family members of mine have, and I'm Serbian. Or you belong to some other Slavic ethnicity? Peace n love from a Serb.
You know Europeans emigrated to Canada so they're also white there? White people in general share similar facial features. Same way black or Asian people do. It's only natural she looks similar to someone you know. She's Canadian. There's no hidden agenda here. Stop being paranoid.
Kad vec pitate, obidjite omis,,,, iznenadit cete se kontrastima tog grada. Imat cete sto snimiti. Naravno, tu je neizbježan Zadar sa svojim starinama i kalelargom.
My Springfield Hellion approves this message.
There is no such thing as a "private beach", shoreline belongs to everybody; it is not even government property. The law that regulates this matter is called Zakon o Pomorskom dobru. Foreign tourists should not expect any private beaches, even though there are misleading adverts that suggest otherwise.
"bura... There have been cases..." my cro friend laughing every year at tourists that visit in march.
Is it SAFE to TRAVEL TO CANADA?
I to će se uskoro prominit s obzirom da nas naši dragi političari pokušavaju naselit s migrantićima!
Nasi izdajnicki politicari su vecinom marionete koje sprovode svjetsku agendu zamjene stanovnistva. Hrvatsku jos spasava jedino to sto smo relativno neprivlacni imigrantima u usporedbi sa drugim EU zemljama.
Nece to na balkanu nikada proci.

You do not want to know. My biggest fear in life are ticks.
Is it SAFE to TRAVEL TO CROA YESS!!!!! yes it is
If you visit Zagreb make sure you never leave your personal items without supervision
There are a LOT of crooks in Croatia
I'm from Zagreb, can you explain to me what you meant by: "...you never leave your personal items without suprvision."?
@@dragodrazenovic1064 srbadija sere .
Never leave your tractor without supervision. You never know when you will take it for a ride to Serbia.
😊😊
Good advice: don’t wear any Serbian football dress or any dress from Red Star Belgrade, Partizan Belgrade or Dinamo Zagreb in Dalmatia ...otherwise it might turn out pretty unpleasantly for you.
In Split NONE other football kit than Hajduk Split is being tolerated in the city by Torcida Split. Not even Juve, Bayern, Manchester United etc. Keep this in mind and you won’t run into any issues
Really? How sad.
@@snappycattimesten sad? Not at all. That‘s passion, top organization and the oldest and best organized Ultras firm in Europe. Used to be the core of Croatia’s most elite war unit 4th Guards brigade from Split. The most elite unit during the wars in former Yugoslavia
Kaj sraćkaš bezveze i plašiš ljude?!
@@mariotudor6735 that's not passion that's low IQ
I’m an expatriate living in Serbia, I have heard that if I come with my new car(Serbia registered plate) to Croatian that local Croatians(old war grudges) will key scratch my car.
Da nije možda ogrebani traktor u pitanju!?
A ja još tražim nestalog oca iz Domovinskog rata (punih 27g) koja vaša Vučićev@ vlada ne želi reći gdje se nalaze posmrtni ostaci 2000 ubijenih Hrvata.
To je prvo.
A drugo, ja sam siguran da kada se dođe u Srbiju nitko ne ogrebe aute sa hrvatskim tablicama.
I zadnje, ovo nije kanal za tvoje bajke i tebi sličnima. Sa koje god strane granice bili.

Aj sad polako.....
Dobro si cuo!!!!
One of the dangers in Croatia that wasn't mentioned in the video - it's full of simple minded people like these two.
Advice for travelers - whenever one of the local people starts mentioning a persons nationality or events that happened 3 decades ago, just give that person a wide berth.
Hopefully, Vukosave Milojko
@@zorkan111 Croats remember four years of serbian aggression, terror and occupation. And Croatia is still searching for over 1600 murdered Croat civilians....even 26 years after the war
Everything in Croatia is safe for tourists
Its the natives that get the shaft
who cleans the beaches? nobody cleans the water, urchins are in rocky and natural beaches where the water is cleaner. they are not in sand beaches and dirtier waters that are overcrowded. if youbse urchins in the water, thatbis a sign thatbthe water is clean....
No croatia very safe because it is a homogeneous country with strong cultural ruths 🙏🙏
Bogami ti si umjesto Vjesti .Sve priblizno tocno uplasila si ljude malo morskim jezom .Nista opasno malo bocne .A sta ces tako je to.U Australiji krokodili,morski psi I druge nemani .U Hrvatskoj Jez haaaaaa 😀
Why in the world do you even ask that question? The question itself obviously makes people insecure and many will believe that there is an underlying reason for asking the question. Would you ask the same thing about eg Austria?
Croatia is one of the safest countries in the world and there is no reason at all to even pose the question whether the country is safe.
Siguran si što se tiče normalnog života. Isto tako, npr; siguran si dokle postujes mjere osiguranja ( npr: nemoj ići iza zaštitne ograde raditi selfie....bilo je već tragedija po u nacionalnim parkovima). Ako ti stariji kažu danas ne idi sa barkom na more..... Ne idi..... I odmor će ti biti super...... Sve ostalo je kockanje.... Pozdrav
I am more afraid afther your reply than her story now I don’t trust it anymore
@@okidoki878 Yeah, for sure you are.
@@melissawalker7570 Ever heard of the big 'traktorijada' of 95'? That was when your ancestors left our beautiful country. Cheers!
@@melissawalker7570 Do you really hope that 'ustasja' is gone?! What are you talking about? Have you been in a coma for 80 years and just woke up?
In Croatia the only thing is if you are solo traveler woman you may find good looking hot Croatian guy lol...I am Croatian poz iz Kanade Milica Skupnjak PHD MDH
ty you are great ....info channel bravo
Landmines 😅😅😅😅😅
Croatia was our first choice for honeymoon
U can still go
there are a lot of crocodiles in croatia so when you go out you have to carry shotgun in your bag
It is safe just dont mention partizans and chetniks 😂😂😂😂
Just joking
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Why you don’t give a try and visit Serbia BELGRADE you will like for sure , try. Place to be , 😊😊😊
Because she lives in Croatia, simple as that! There are plenty of videos about Belgrade on YT anyway, why are you trippin?
Croatia only has a high political crime rate 😅😅😅
Instead of blaming politicians for everything, you should go and do some decent work.
Just to add, a few years ago I stumbled on a website about country safety which it turned out was done by the American CIA and it said Croatia was one of the safest countries to be in and also to point out, certainly in my area of Dalmacija, single line women still hitchhike to and from work completely safely. The only crime I’ve noticed that has increased over the years is robberies of banks, post offices and shops, but this is still rare and obviously doesn’t affect the individual tourist. As Sarah said DEFINITELY agree price in the taxi before, certainly in Dalmacija some will charge you double if they think you’re green, maybe get a local to order for you whether that be the Konobar in the restaurant to go home or someone at your accommodation so you can go out, and actually don’t dismiss local buses 🚍, they’re cheap and clean but usually don’t work much past 23:30
Also if You are going to be near Vukovar or similar former war plauged areas here is a rhyme
Watch the signs , don't step on mines
This is no joke 2 pyrotechnics died due to atempting to disarm a mine
If you don't want to die read the signs and listen
