Since 2017, the dollar has weakened against the Croatian Kuna—in part due to its proximity to E.U. markets and its independent currency, and in part due to issues on the American end of the equation—and is now worth 4.16 percent less than it was last year. While round-trip airfare to Eastern Europe, which has grown in popularity among international tourists in recent years, can be less expensive than to the Eurozone, this is not true of Croatia. In addition to higher ticket prices than neighboring nations, prices are higher in Croatia—at both this and last years’ exchange rates—than in other Eastern European destinations, such has Bulgaria and Romania.
