Many Croatian hotels offer swimming from rocks or man-made bathing platforms. Sandy beaches are the exception rather than the rule. During your holiday in Croatia you’ll enjoy a unique blend of traditional Balkan hospitality mixed with the laid-back Latin temperament of Italy or Spain, epitomised by a vibrant café-life and the daily evening ‘Corsa’, or stroll, by locals resplendent in their ‘Sunday best’. A holiday in Croatia offers a charming escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Food and drink
With all that coastline, it's hardly surprising that Croatia is a haven for fish lovers. Whilst on holiday in Croatia, you'll barely have time to sample the very smallest selection of over 400 species found in this area of the Adriatic, as well as succulent langoustines. If you prefer, however, you can find the variety of fare generally found in other central European or Mediterranean countries - pizza, pasta and meat dishes. Croatian beers are of a high quality and Dalmatian red wines such as Faros or Dingac are exquisite. Try Zagreb’s Ozujsko pivo or Karlovacko pivo or Tuborg, brewed under license in Croatia. You should also try Croatia’s favourite brandy sljivovica, made from plums, or travarica, a herbal brandy.
Shopping
Excellent buys include small leather articles, laceware, tablecloths and slippers. All of which will make wonderful souvenirs of your holiday to Croatia.
Entertainment
Entertainment in Croatia is neither extensive nor sophisticated, but bars, restaurants and nightclubs stay open late.
