'''Croatia''' is a country in [[Southern Europe]]. It is a member state of the [[European Union]] and as of 2023 is preparing to join a part of the [[Schengen Agreement]] by 2017.Croatia can be great for hitchhikingin summer. It is quite easy to hitch along the coast, and waiting time rarely exceeds 20 minutes. However, in the winter months many of the coastal towns become ghost towns and you may find that hitching wait times exceed an hour, often with very short rides once you do get them.

Some routes, however, might appear to be more difficult to hitch but with some portion of patience one can get a ride almost anywhere in this Balkan country.
Aside from Croatian, Italian is widely known in some areas. Croatians are also extremely open, friendly, and hospitable, although there are known accidents of nationalistic hatred being directed onto foreign travelers. It is nonetheless definitely a must-see country with beautiful landscape, islands, and warm sea.
The coastal road is beautiful, however be careful of where you are dropped off. You may find yourself with a mountain on one side and sudden drop on the other.
