at the risk of sounding like the oddball above, this is about Croatia, so trying to deflect isn't really a solution, at least Zadar are making a solid effort, let's hope Split follows suit!

Well actually I started the thread and I was looking for "what are the best cities to buy property in". NOT criticize on what other people think are nice cities. Please just positive things about different cities and why it would be good to buy in these cities. Less the negative comments. Thanxs in advance. |

You're contradicting yourself, you yourself are asking for the BEST city therefore by definition some places are better than others, then we must agree that firstly the better places have the positives and the lessers places have negatives. I think your communist style propaganda approach is the problem not the frank responses. |

Right now there are probably more negatives than positives about buying in a city in Croatia (or large town), most people are buying for renal purposes, so theyprefer the seaside, but that limits you to only a set number of months worth of rentals. I always wonder will Rijeka begin to pick up (and hopefully clean up) as it's well placed next to Europe. But in general the coastal cities need to scrub themselves up and take more care. Trogir is horrendous (esp with the megapolluter shipyards) and Split is surprisingly more dirty and polluted than Ancona (you notice it on the ferry coming in and out), so until pressur is put on local governments to actually take care of the problem, Zagreb is looking like the best bet for any sort of decent life, and then...

If Zagreb is the best place in Croatia, I wish to have my visa withdraw, thank you kindly.

In terms of services, amount of real estate, cosmopolitanism etc it's well up there. Would you rather live in Osijek? Or worse still Split?

Zagreb without a doubt, but not in it.
The capital has nearly everything a good city needs whether your' a tourist or live here, but I prefer to be outside of the city in the countryside and still have the access to all the amenities.
And its bucket loads cheaper!

The problem with living outside of the city is the traffic which is a nightmare and the costs of taxi's after a night out. Taxis in Croatia are VERY expensive.

That's great, Mark, that efforts are underway to clean up the place. I know that the County itself were really keen to improve the place. I know in a place near you guys, Cincingaj, where locals regularly dump their leftover fuel and garbage (from boats) into a seemingly clear sea. But walk along the baech and there's a disgusting oily film and often scum, floating and it's there year round. Likewise Bibinje was disgusting when I went there last year, but that's from untreated sewage from apartments and vikendices! But the local authorities are cracking down on this! If it's Cicingaj on the Karin Sea, it's the village next to us (about a minutes walk) I've lived here for 18 months and not seen any rubbish or fuel, new sandy beaches have all been built in the last month between Vrulje & Cicingaj (now called Vruljica) for some reason, and the waters still crystal clear. We'll never have a problem like Bibinje because all of the houses have septic tanks so no sewage goes directly into the sea. |

Please ignore the 2 people that can't seem to post what the thread topic is about.
Who want to ruin every thread with negativity, ego or know it all attitudes!
It is quite a shame that these 2 posters CAN'T just pick a city they like and then post some positive things about that city. I guess it is an extremely hard question for unhappy, negative individuals to answer.
The person that talked about Varazdin. I thought that different. Usually when people talk about nice places in Croatia, they always seem to pick coastal towns.
It is nice to see something different. I went there once. It is a romantic type town. To me like something from a fairytale book. It has a little bit different feel than the rest of Croatia.
Another place I like was Osijek. I was there in the winter once and it was very beautiful. I think I would not mind living there.
Rijeka is a bit different to me also. The people there are different to me than the other coastal towns. Maybe it was the day I was there but the people seemed friendlier in this town also it is so convent location close to Italy and Zagreb.
I do love Zadar and surrounding area's. I love that it is so clean there. I have never been to a dirty sea anywhere in that area or surrounding area's. Always clean.
I believe I read a report somewhere last year that said that Croatians water's are one of the cleanest on the planet. That is really reassuring since I have spent a majority of my life in that water soaking like a bean.
I would not mind hearing more stories or positives about podravina area, it is nice to see something different than the usual posts about the coast. Don't get me wrong, I love the coast too.
I really enjoy hearing everyone's thoughts on the different towns. Thanx's
