As well as the warm weather and beautiful beaches, such as the ones in Split (above), Croatia is steeped in cultural history. Find Diocletian’s Palace in Split, the Roman Ampitheatre in Pula and Ban Jalacic Square in Zagreb.
Croatians love adventure activities such as rafting, kayaking, caving, hiking and skiing. Food-wise, truffles, seafood and olive oil are second to none and there’s homecooked food available at local markets. Croatia is rated a level one on safety by the U.S. State Department. The locals treasure time spent with friends and family, as well as a bang-up cup of coffee.
What’s more, you won’t pay Croatian income tax during your digital nomad residency.
