My husband and I (Cro bloke) would like to live in Croatia in 10 or 15 years, so we'd like to buy a pile of ruins now with potential for building in the future. I want to live where other Brits live all year round. Where's best for that?

triso, probably down south in Dubrovnik is best, we've met quite a few full-timers there. The cities are a good bet or nearby, though Trogir or thereabouts are safe bets for Brits living the life. And there's also one guy in Sibenik who could put you right.:-) www.hiberno-knin.com |

Hi Triso Paul and I are Brits and we live in Vinisce Bay, near Trogir. We moved here in June and believe we are the only Brits living in this Bay, which is full of locals, but seems to be developing fast - Hungarians, Austrians, Germans etc. are our neighbours, as well as Croatians of course. We have also met up with a Brit couple who are living in Kastella, so times are changing. We would welcome contact with any Brits on the Forum. We did intend buying something of a ruin on Ciovo, but prices are now ridiculous and Summertime roadway in Trogir is non-moving. We feel we have made a good choice and hope to make a living from renting out part of our home as Apartments. We particularly want to encourage lots of Brits over here for vacations. Feel free to look at our website: www.littlevinisce.com - needs updating once renovation is complete - hopefully by the end of this week, but you know what builders are like. Hope you make the move, we do not have any regrets, even though we are still struggling to adapt to the Croatian 'Way of Life'. (Bureaucracy, Law, etc. etc.). Regards PandC |

PandC, you have totally lucked out. You're not the only Brits in Vinisce, but it's so great to see that you're in one of the most beautiful parts of the coast. I love staying there and I know that the place will never be allowed to change by the locals, plus there's just not enough land to go around for the type of ridiculousness you mention in Trogir. Enjoy! Alan www.hiberno-knin.com |

Hi,
we're the Brit couple PandC were talking about. Based in Kastela near Split. We keep hearing of people (Croatians) who know other Brits but haven't actually met any other than the aforementioned. We have 2 young children and are living here permanently (so far so good...I think) and would also be very happy to meet up with fellow Brits or any expats who want to share a few beers and have a good gossip!
Charles and Carol
