Beyond guides, Croatia Insider provides curated recommendations, practical tips, and insider knowledge to help you decide where to go, what to see, where to stay and how to experience Croatia in an authentic and memorable way.
When did Croatia Insider start?
Croatia Insider started in 2011 when Orsat Munitic began jotting down notes and tips for friends who were visiting Croatia. At the time there weren’t many reliable English-language resources, and people kept asking the same questions – where to eat, which beaches were worth it, and how to avoid the tourist traps.
What began as a simple side project slowly grew into a place where travelers could find honest advice and local recommendations. More than a decade later, Croatia Insider is still driven by the same idea: sharing first-hand knowledge to help you see a more authentic side of Croatia.
What does Croatia Insider offer?
- Destination guides that cover Croatia’s regions, cities, and islands in detail.
- Accommodation and restaurant tips based on local knowledge and real experiences.
- Insider advice for finding hidden spots, authentic food, and activities that don’t always show up in mainstream guides.
- Practical travel info – from transport to costs – to help you plan smoothly and avoid surprises.
Croatia Insider was created to make traveling here easier, less stressful, and a lot more rewarding, whether you’re visiting for a weekend in Zagreb or exploring the islands for a few weeks.
Who founded Croatia Insider?
Croatia Insider started back in 2011, when Orsat decided to put together a small website about traveling in Croatia. At the time it was just a side project, but the experience from running a Digital Agency – a web development and digital marketing agency helped shape it into something bigger. Over the years, what began as a simple travel site has grown into a resource that travelers use to plan their trips and get a more local perspective on Croatia.
