Interesting info for overlander in Europe:

Croatia is a member of the Schengen area since January 1, 2023 and has introduced the Euro for payment.

This will make it easier for overlanders who like to travel in this region, because especially during the peak travel and vacation season there were always waiting times at the borders due to border and passport controls. This is no longer the case at the land borders.

The introduction of the Euro is also a good development for travelers coming from the Euro zone. Until 14th January you can pay in Croatia with both currencies, old Kuna and Euro. After that only in Euro. Please remember, if you still have Croatian Kuna, that you exchange them quickly - by the way, this is now only possible in the country.
