Who we are
Enjoy Croatia (enjoy.hr) is an independent travel publication for English-speaking visitors planning a trip to Croatia. It is published by Aretis d.o.o., a company registered in Croatia, in the European Union.
We write about places we’ve been, things we’ve done, and trips we’d suggest to a friend. The site is run by a small team — there are no sponsored “advertorial” placements, no paid-for inclusions in our guides, and no pay-to-play rankings.
What an affiliate link is
Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one and then book a hotel, buy a tour ticket, or complete another qualifying transaction on the partner’s website, the partner pays us a small commission.
The price you pay is exactly the same as if you had visited the partner’s site directly. The commission comes out of the partner’s margin, not your wallet.
Which partners we work with
We currently use three affiliate partners. All three are large, established travel companies with strong reputations in the Croatian tourism market.
- Booking.com — for accommodation (hotels, apartments, villas).
- GetYourGuide — for tours, day trips, and skip-the-line tickets.
- Viator (a Tripadvisor company) — for tours and experiences, used where GetYourGuide’s selection is thin.
If we add new partners in the future, we will update this page first.
How you can identify an affiliate article
Every article on Enjoy Croatia that contains affiliate links carries a short disclosure notice at the top of the article, above the first paragraph. It looks like this:
This article contains affiliate links. If you book or buy through them, Enjoy Croatia may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend places and experiences we would suggest to a friend visiting Croatia.
If you don’t see that notice on a given article, the article does not contain affiliate links.
In addition, every affiliate link on the site is technically marked with rel="sponsored" — a standard signal that browsers, search engines, and ad blockers can read to identify commercial links.
Our editorial rules
We hold ourselves to a few rules so that the affiliate relationship doesn’t bend our recommendations:
- We recommend places we’d suggest to a friend. If we wouldn’t send a friend there, it doesn’t go on the list — regardless of commission rate.
- No pay-to-place. Hotels, tour operators, and restaurants cannot pay us to be included in our guides or to be ranked higher within them.
- Honest about trade-offs. If a place is great-but-pricey, popular-but-touristy, or beautiful-but-hard-to-reach, we say so.
- No affiliate links in headlines or hero images. They appear inside the body of the article, where they belong.
- Search-result links, not single-property locks. Where possible, our Booking.com and GetYourGuide links open a search for a destination or activity, so you can compare options — rather than being funnelled to a single choice we may earn more from.

Questions or concerns
If you spot a recommendation you think is unfair, an affiliate link that’s broken, or anything else that looks off, we’d genuinely like to know. Email us at [email protected] and we’ll look into it.
