Quick answer
Talisim sells 15 Croatia eSIM plans from $1.14, 7–180 days, 1GB–50GB, up to 3G, 4G, 5G, on Tele2, A1. Top-ups: yes, on most plans. Data only: no phone number, calls or texts. WhatsApp, FaceTime, Signal and iMessage work over data. Hotspot and tethering work, as far as your phone allows, and use the same data.
What the network is actually like
The Dalmatian coast and the cities are well covered. Island coverage is decent on the inhabited ones but thins on the smaller Kornati. Croatia adopted the euro in 2023, so older guidance about the kuna is out of date.
This eSIM: up to 3G, 4G, 5G, onTele2, A1. Each plan on the Croatia page says which of these it uses.
How much data you'll need
Two weeks of islands is a 10GB trip, most of it going on ferry schedules and last-minute accommodation searches.
Recommended: 10GB → closest plan 10GB · 30 days, $8.56.
