Croatia
Croatia's coast settles into an easy rhythm of limestone old towns, morning markets, and Adriatic water clear enough to see the seabed from a ferry deck. Know that much of the coast shuts down from November to April, so winter long-stays work far better in Zagreb or Split than in the smaller resort towns.

Setting up
The three things worth arranging before the flight, and the search tools for the rest:
- SafetyWing - nomad travel medical insurance (several visas above require proof of coverage)
- Wise - multi-currency account for Euro (since 2023) and proof-of-funds statements
- Airalo - eSIM data on arrival, before you find a local SIM
