Croatia has long been admired for its glittering Adriatic coastline, historic towns and relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle. But in recent years it has also started to catch the eye of international investors — particularly since joining the Eurozone and Schengen Area in 2023, which has made ownership and travel simpler than ever.
While destinations such as Split and Dubrovnik attract large-scale tourism, a growing number of buyers are discovering the quieter elegance of the Kvarner Bay region. Here you’ll find refined seaside towns, excellent transport links and a slower, more sophisticated pace of life.
Perched above the Adriatic coastline is Kastav, a peaceful hillside town close to both Opatija and Rijeka, where a beautiful modern duplex apartment is now available.
