Traveling to Croatia - what currency shall I bring?
We are planning to travel to fairly rural Croatia for 2 weeks staying in Plitvice lakes then Pula. We had to pay for the accommodation in Pula with Euros and as such was wondering weather it would be worth primarily bringing Euros in Croatia instead of Kuna. Online research seemed to suggest that we are better with Kuna and some people seemed to be seemed to be saying it would be best to bring sterling and change it to Kuna when we arrive, we land into Rijeka airport and it appears that the facilities there are limited - as we are getting a coach transfer we wont get chance to visit the city after the flight.
Question:
How frequently is the Euro accepted and what sort of rate would I generally expect to achieve? And how frequently are debit/credit cards accepted?

Should I exchange money before I travel to Croatia?
Exchanging currency on the Islands. If you're heading to one of Croatia's many beautiful islands, it's best to exchange foreign currency into the kuna on the mainland (or just use an ATM \u2014 operator fees apply). Tourist agencies and exchange offices are plentiful on the islands, but the rate is often unfavourable.Does Croatia Use Euro or kuna?
Travelers to Croatia need to be prepared to spend the kuna. Even though euros are widely accepted, using euros rather than kuna will almost certainly leave you short-changed. Use kuna either by exchanging foreign currency, withdrawing from an ATM or by using credit or debit cards to make purchases.Can you use euros in Croatia 2020?
