To give you an extra splash of inspiration, here are our 5 epic coastal destinations for digital nomads.
Zadar
If the idea of traveling through Europe as you work appeals to you, Croatia should be the top destination on your list. While tourism in Croatia is booming, you can discover this coastal jewel at your own pace. The best way to do that is with a yacht charter.
Explore the Adriatic Sea with a sailing yacht and enjoy breathtaking views, without having to navigate through large crowds of tourists. Zadar is the oldest continuously inhabited town in Croatia. Stop and stay awhile at this seaside town, where life is cheap, but the adventures are priceless.
You’ll find a growing digital nomad community on the beachfront in Zadar. There’s a specially designed digital nomad village you may want to check out. This influx of remote workers is thanks to Croatia’s 12-month digital nomad visa.
