Is gay travel to Croatia safe? wolfyy’s Maslinica gay travel guide covers LGBT safety, Maslinica things to do, gay sailing Croatia and local gay life.
I visited Maslinica while taking a sailing trip with a group of old and new gay friends! We arranged a private boat that set off in Dubrovnik and continued north. We sailed around different islands for a wondrous week.

This information certainly should not deter you from visiting Croatia. Firstly, these were isolated incidents. I believe they could have happened anywhere. Many locals do support homosexuality and equal rights for LGBT individuals.
Homophobic comments can be made in any country. However, gay travelers in Croatia should still make sure they are in a safe environment before displaying any affection.
Studenac is the best market to pick up wine and snacks. It is a chain company and they accept credit cards. You don’t always find such convenience on Croatian islands!
Croatia is so popular with European, Australian and American tourists, that prices are no longer considered “cheap.” Prices at most restaurants throughout the Croatian islands rival those of New York City or Paris.
So yes, Croatia is expensive in relative terms. Cheap food is hard to come by, but there are still some pizzerias where you can get a medium sized personal pizza for the equivalent of ten Euros.
Croatia provides a wealth of protections to the LGBT community, however gay life in Croatia for locals is not exactly easy. Most local Croatians keep their sexuality hidden from the public eye out of fear of discrimination.
They do not usually express their identity openly. Hate speech has been on the rise against LGBT individuals and Serbs prior to 2017, according to reports compiled that year on the issue.
On the positive end of the spectrum, a 2016 ILGA poll found that 75% of Croatians would have no issue with a LGBT neighbor. 10% of people responded they would be very uncomfortable with a LGBT neighbor.
Most anti-LGBT sentiment can be found in the northwest portion of Croatia. The rest of the country is not so fiercely opposed. Large centers like Dubrovnik and Zagreb advertise themselves as gay-friendly tourist destinations, however this does not exactly mean discrimination by locals does not occur.
