Overview

• Facebook users reignited discussion by sharing a Rovinj receipt showing four drinks totaling €16.70, including a 0.5L beer priced at €3.90.
• Another widely shared post showed a Chiemsee restaurant menu listing a half Maß beer at €5.90 and a cola at €5.20 to argue that Germany is costly too.
• The Croatian statistical office’s figures, cited in the reports, show restaurant and hotel prices have climbed about 70% since 2015.
• Reactions were split, with some travelers calling Croatia overpriced and others noting the charges compare with or undercut German rates, while locals pointed to lower wages at home.
• The reports note record arrivals in 2024 but a drop in visitors this year, and group members voiced fatigue with recurring price rows, with some calling for a ban on comparison posts.
