As Portuguese, I can relate as I have seen what the euro has brought, positive and negatively as well.

For example 1 euro = 200.482 escudos, and when euro came we had stuff happening like 50 cents escudos becoming 50 cents in euro, I bet something similar has happened in Croatia.

Those 50 cents across coins are naturally not the same value, especially when the income wasn't suffered the same valuation across monetary systems.

Yes I believe Portugals and Croatias stories are very similar, your capital being a coastal city probably makes it even worse with regards to tourist inflation.

Unfortunally tourist inflation, digital nomads, and foreign pensionists have driven house prices sky high, prevented the usual system of house renting for university students and people unable to buy houses, with crazy rents, as landlords rather profit from foreigners, thus that is how we end with a mostly right goverment, the far right having a large majority, with my parents and many others having fought the dictatorship for nothing.

Zagreb isn't a coastal city.

		But Lisbon is, which is why Portugal situation is likely even worse (that was what I was trying to say). I can only imagine Zagreb prices if it was on the coast.

This happened even in Germany though the DM/E rate was 2 Marks = 1 Euro but some things magically went from 2 DM to 2 Euro
