Our passion is to create remarkable memories by providing an authentic experience

Adriagate is a company specialized in private accommodation and authentic vacation in Croatia which accounts for a big portion of the Agency's business portfolio. The company operates since 2001 and boasts its flattery status as the number one tourist agency in Croatia.

From private apartments, holiday homes and remote cottages to luxury villas and lighthouse accommodation in Croatia and Montenegro.

Adriagate experts offer any kind of assistance you might need 7 days a week.

Here Adriagate provides information regarding all aspects of the service as well as giving you the possibility of booking a desired accommodation on the spot.

How we got here

Since the very beginning Adriagate has been led by the belief that only open and honest communication with no hidden agenda can nurture long standing partnerships. We are also of the opinion that doing the right thing is the only way to make progress and our large and loyal customer base serves as a proof thereof.

The story of Adriagate begins in 2001. in an apartment in Split, the most beautiful city on the Adriatic coast. The company was founded by two friends who came up with an idea of providing an opportunity for private home owners in Croatia to list their holiday rentals.

Adriagate developed its core competencies around technological advances and took advantage of new solutions in order to build the largest data base of private accommodation coupled with useful travel information and user-friendly website layout. The great efforts invested in delivering a high level service value to its visitors were finally recognized when the company was awarded the prestigious VIDI award for the most powerful website in the tourism category.

The story of introducing on-site assistance to the local branch offices began in Rogoznica, a small but popular fishing village. This was the first step towards understanding the guest's needs, providing tourist information directly on the spot, offering extended travel services, and going that extra mile in order to make every stay in Rogoznica special.

After the first branch office in Rogoznica opened its doors to guests and home owners alike, Adriagate seized this opportunity and followed it up by opening another branch office in the town of Vodice one of the most popular tourist destinations in Croatia. Today, the largest number of Adriagate's accommodation units is located in Vodice.

As guests became more tech-savvy Adriagate detected the rising trend in pre-trip planning and destination-related browsing well in advance, and consequently the company launched its Travel blog which became the central place where the Adriagate travel experts provided information concerning trending news, things to do in Croatia, tips & tricks and other forms of travel assistance that guests might find useful before, during and after their holiday in Croatia.

With regards to Croatia establishing its status on the tourist map as one of the market leaders in the Mediterranean, more and more travelers started to flock to Croatia to visit UNESCO heritage sites, national parks, and its stunning beaches. As a proper response to the new demand, Adriagate team created the largest beach guide with more than 500 sandy, pebble and stone beaches all over the Adriatic coast classified into various categories fitting different travel styles. The Beach guide is one of the most visited sites on the Adriagate website.

Adriagate kept pace with novelties by introducing its very own interface – Channel Manager which significantly enhanced business procedures and ensured a steady and substantial growth of the B2B sector.

Adriagate was always known for its commitment and passion in seeking new opportunities and in scaling its products to fit larger market segments. From the very moment Booking.com opened its doors to B2B opportunities, Adriagate knew what the obvious next step was. The company completed the integration process successfully and became one of the first companies in the world Booking merged their accommodation offer with. After a short while, Adriagate integrated with Airbnb as well.

Regardless of the two newly formed integrations with leading travel OTA-s, Adriagate did not lose track of its customers. The company knew it has never been more important to nurture its loyal customer base and to seek new prospects and establish new business cooperations. With this in mind, Adriagate opened its third local branch on the Hvar Island in the town of Vrboska which happens to be the birthplace of one of Adriagate's co-founders.

One of the main branch offices is located in the town of Trogir, famous for being one of the heritage sites under the protection of UNESCO. Even though the local office in Trogir is primarily operations-oriented it is nonetheless of big importance for the ever-growing B2B client base in this area.

Adriagate’s capability and readiness to swiftly implement new technological solutions made for a seamless integration with its big online counterparts which in turn supported a constant and steady growth rate. Adriagate was awarded the “Preferred Partner” status by Booking.com and Airbnb for its advanced technological solutions and its exceptional organizational competence.

The town of Omiš and its surrounding area started to attract more and more attention from travelers around the world over the course of the last few years so opening of another branch office in Omiš came as no surprise.

After forming a strong partnership with a family - owned local travel agency in Primošten Adriagate’s acquisition of the latter was a logical step in the right direction as it further strengthened the company's position as the leader in the tourism sector.

Kvarner has always been one of the key areas for Adriagate’s core business. It is a region to which the very roots of tourism in Croatia can be traced. The acquisition of the Tibor Tours travel agency came as a logical strategic decision to expand its accommodation base and enforce its position as a market leader.

We live in a time where changes and innovations happen at a frantic pace and their complexity increases exponentially so constant learning is essential to maintain a strong position in the ferociously competitive tourism sector. 3 years after the integration with the two OTA giants, Adriagate decided to do the same with Expedia finetuning its way to a larger customer base.

Due to its huge touristic potential, Kvarner has always been one of the main areas of focus for Adriagate. Val Tour has been Adriagate's trusted partner for many years. A tourist agency that boasts a vast offer of beachfront accommodation and Robinson cottages and it was only a matter of time for these two travel specialists to unite their forces and become the number 1 vacation rental specialist.

Adriatic cruise

Cruises depart every week, usually on Saturdays or Wednesdays, from the ports of Opatija, Zadar, Split and Dubrovnik, and if necessary, we can also organize transport by car, van or minibus.

Some cruises have a circular concept, where the ship returns to the same port from which it set sail, while other cruises are one-way, so for example you start the trip in Opatija and end in Split.

Five different levels of boat quality are offered, so the prices vary from €1,000 to €2,150 per person for a seven-day trip in the summer period. When planning the trip, it is necessary to keep in mind the fact that the cruise price includes the ship's services, but all passengers are asked to set aside a certain amount as a tip for the ship's crew at the end of the trip. The host of the ship will inform you about the estimated amount for the aforementioned at the start of the trip.

On all levels of ships, guests have breakfast, lunch and one dinner included, while other options (e.g. unlimited coffee and water) are free on some ships, while on other ships they are subject to an additional charge.

On working days, from Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., we are also available on the phone number +385 99 819 6432.

Welcome to Croatia

To experience Croatia with us is to become thoroughly engaged in a country with endless cultural offerings perfectly blended with sun-drenched beaches, and shockingly beautiful islands. From the Medieval city of Dubrovnik with its quaint Old Town.... to a local vineyard on the Dalmatian Coast... to the stunningly scenic Krka National Park, this destination offers a multitude of treasures ripe for exploration.

Dubrovnik's old town, discovering old town dubrovnik... croatia's "pearl of the adriatic".

Preserved as the world's largest restored UNESCO World Heritage Site, the medieval Old City of Dubrovnik on Croatia's Dalmatian Coast – nicknamed "the Pearl of the Adriatic" – has been blessed with a wealth of magnificent Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque churches, monasteries, palaces, squares, cobbled streets, fountains, and medieval ramparts, all cut from the same beautiful stone. Its treasures include the Dominican Monastery, the Rector's Palace, Dubrovnik Synagogue and much more. You can explore this remarkably well-preserved city from above by cable car, or on guided walking tours of Old Town or along the ancient city walls.

Krka National Park, Croatia

Enjoying croatia's natural treasures at krka national park.

Croatia's Krka National Park is a vast and primarily unaltered area of exceptional natural value, comprising some of the loveliest sections of the Krka River, as well as the lower course of the Čikola River. The park, home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, encompasses seven significant waterfalls; two of its most popular attractions are Skradinski Buk, a clear, natural pool with high waterfalls at one end and cascades at the other; and Roški Slap, the sixth waterfall of the Krka River. The national park also features hiking trails, boat trips, gift shops, a museum and restaurants, and the unpreserved ruins of several fortresses dating back to Roman times.

The Bay of Kotor, Montenegro

Sailing into montenegro's dramatic bay of kotor aboard your tauck small ship... unforgettable.

While the beautiful Bay of Kotor on the Adriatic Sea in Montenegro is sometimes referred to as Europe's southernmost fjord, it's technically a ria – a submerged river canyon. But that matters little as you arrive at the bay aboard your Tauck small ship… because the experience of sailing into this stunning port – ringed by dramatic limestone cliffs and dominated by the fortified medieval city of Kotor itself – is inspiring and unforgettable.

Best time to visit croatia.

Croatia's peak season runs between July and August, with temperatures in the high 60s or mid 80s on the coast. But in this region, you can expect plenty of sunshine from May to October, which are the best times to visit if you want to take advantage of Croatia's beautiful beaches and islands. The inland areas are also hot in the summer but can get cold in the winter with low temperatures and snowfall. Winter on the coast is milder and frequent rain can be expected.

Culture and customs

Generally, Croatians are very proud of their country and cultural heritage. While this may not be obvious in everyday life, the Slavic heritage of Croatian people becomes more evident during festivals and national holidays, where cities and villages come to life with traditional costume, folk music and feasts. While most of Croatia's population are Roman Catholic, there are also groups of people who identify as Serbian Orthodox, Muslim, Protestant and Jewish. Having endured war, hardship and frequent earthquakes, the people of Croatia have a great amount of national pride and connection to their country and family. It's quite common for extended families to live together and children to remain close to their parents well into adulthood. Time for leisure and family is highly valued, particularly along the coast, where many offices end their day at 3pm.

Eating and drinking

Croatian cuisine   is heavily influenced by its surrounding countries. Separated from Italy by the Adriatic Sea, cuisine along the coast tends to have more of a Mediterranean flair. Fish and seafood are integral to many coastal dishes, such as brodet (fish stew) and crni rizot (black risotto made with squid). Homemade pasta and olive oil are also dietary staples. Further inland, you’ll find heartier dishes with Austrian, Hungarian, and Turkish influences such as cobanac (a goulash-like stew) and kulen (paprika-seasoned sausage).

Foodies will definitely want to visit Istria – home to award-winning olive oil, wild asparagus, rare white truffles and excellent wines – which has gained an international reputation as a foodie destination.

Croatians enjoy their beer (Karlovacko and Ozujsko are two of the most popular local brews), but they love their kava (coffee). Take a cue from the locals and spend a morning people-watching at a cafe over a kava – it’s a Saturday morning tradition in Zagreb. Rakija (brandy) is the spirit of choice, with many restaurants offering a small glass before a meal. Another favorite is Pelinkovac, a must-try bitter liqueur.

Things to try in Croatia

1. Pasticada

A slow-cooked beef dish usually served with gnocchi. This Dalmatian staple can be found in many restaurants in this region.

2. Manestra

There are many variations to Istria’s hearty take on minestrone soup, but it usually includes beans, corn and meat.

3. Paski sir

This popular hard cheese is produced exclusively from the milk of sheep on the Island of Pag. It gets its unique pungent taste from the sheep’s aromatic herb diet.

These grilled skinless sausages are common throughout Croatia and are usually served with onions and ajvar (a red bell pepper relish) on a flatbread

Geography and environment

Sharing borders with  Bosnia and Herzegovina ,  Slovenia ,  Hungary ,  Serbia  and  Montenegro , Croatia benefits from more than 5,000 km of coastline that spans along the Adriatic Sea. In addition to the mainland, Croatia also has many islands, some inhabited, some not. Croatia's terrain is very diverse and varies from flat plains to low mountains and highlands, limestone karst cliffs, wetlands, lakes and forests of cypress. Nature reserves and wetland areas are home to large populations of migratory birds, deer, bats and bears. Visitors will also see much of the land is used for agriculture with vineyards, lavender fields, olive groves and orchards being prevalent in rural areas. Croatia's cities, while developed, have managed to maintain a high level of charm with cobblestone streets, ancient housing, historic squares and heritage buildings being preserved and still used by the current population.

History and government

Early history.

Archaeological evidence suggests that the land now known as Croatia has been occupied by humans since the Stone Age. Croatia's geographical position in  Europe  allowed a great amount of influence from neighboring regions, with tribes and people from different cultures and groups making their mark. The first Kingdom of Croatia was formed in 925 but by the 12th century Croatia had formed a union with Hungary, with a Hungarian King instated as leader of both territories. During the 15th century, Croatia lost territory to the Ottoman Empire and, in later centuries, once again came under Hungarian rule. Evidence of these many cultural influences can be seen in the architecture, cuisine and archaeological ruins of contemporary Croatia.

Recent history

Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia formed a union in 1918 to create the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, but the occupation of Axis forces during World War II lead to the creation of the Independent State of Croatia, which only lasted a couple of years during the war. By the end of the war in 1945, Croatia had become a Socialist Republic (within the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, together with Bosnia, Serbia, Slovenia, Macedonia and Montenegro), with the constitution of 1963 attempting to alleviate tensions surrounding the balance of power between Serbians and Croats. By 1980, after the death of President Tito (founder of modern Yugoslavia), economic and political difficulties resulted in a near collapse of government. What followed was years of conflict, polarity and political turmoil. The referendum of 1991 resulted in an overwhelming vote for independence, with Croatia and Slovenia declaring independence from Yugoslavia in June of the same year. Much armed conflict followed and lasted until 1995, leading to great loss of civilian life and displacement, creating large populations of refugees. However, the last two decades have been a time of peace and reconciliation for the people of Croatia and the country even joined the European Union in 2013.

Top 10 historic buildings of Croatia

1. cathedral of the assumption of the virgin mary.

One of Zagreb’s most visited historic sites, this grand neo-Gothic cathedral has been renovated and reconstructed many times since it was originally built in the 13th century. With massive twin spires, a marble interior and 800-year-old treasury, this is a monumental masterpiece.

2. Church of St Donatus

Considered one of the most impressive examples of early Byzantine architecture, this church in Zadar was built way back in the 9th century. With much historical value, its simplistic, circular design is quite unlike other buildings in Croatia, making it a standout, must-see church in a country with so many churches and cathedrals to see.

3. Croatian National Theatre

Built in 1895, this national treasure located in Zagreb is an elegant example of neo-Baroque style architecture. Visitors lucky enough to catch an opera, ballet or classical music concert here will be able to revel in all the fine details, from the luxe furnishings to the excellent acoustics.

4. Diocletian’s Palace

One of Split’s main attractions, this UNESCO World Heritage monument is considered one of the best-preserved Roman palaces in the world. The sprawling complex is home to many fine examples of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture, so visitors will be able to admire open-air courtyards, marble arches, columns, gates and walls from a variety of different periods.

5. Cathedral of St Lovro

This cathedral located 30 minutes from Split is well known for its distinct Romanesque portal crafted by one of Croatia's most celebrated sculptors, Radovan. Mythological creatures and biblical figures all feature heavily, with saints, lions, sirens and centaurs all gracing the spectacular doorways.

6. Rector’s Palace

Also known as Dubrovnik Museum, Rector’s Palace is an impressive building in itself. With soaring arches, period furniture and a dramatic staircase, this structure steals the show from the museum exhibits it holds within.

7. Dubrovnik Synagogue

Reported to be the second oldest synagogue in Europe and the world’s oldest Sefardic synagogue still in use, Dubrovnik’s synagogue is still a place for the local Jewish community to worship on holy days. Sustaining damage from earthquakes and wars, this small but well-cared-for structure stills stands today due to its historical value and unique design.

8. Marco Polo Tower

While not the most elaborate or opulent building in Croatia, the Marco Polo Tower of Korcula has much historical significance. It is believed that Marco Polo was born in this medieval, walled city and this tower named in his honor rises above the town as a reminder of his legacy. Climb to the top for phenomenal views and panoramic photo opportunities.

9. Franciscan Monastery

Featuring 14th-century cloisters, intricately carved columns and a striking, sculptured facade this Dubrovnik wonder is also home to the third oldest pharmacy in Europe, so you can get a prescription filled while seeing the sights.

10. Trakoscan Castle

This lovely castle located in northern Croatia was inhabited from the 13th century right up until the 1940s. Featuring all good things a castle should have - including a dungeon, hunting room and tower - visiting here is like stepping back to a time when castles weren’t just historical monuments, but actual places to live.

Top places to visit in Croatia

1. islands of kornati.

There are plenty of enchanting islands along the coast of Croatia but perhaps none more so than the secluded Kornati, a collection of 89 spectacular islands full of islets and reef systems just waiting to be explored. Known as the largest and densest archipelago in the Adriatic region, the Kornatis present the perfect way to spend a couple of days with beautiful bays to swim in and fascinating nature parks to adventure through.

2. Dubrovnik

Steeped in both beauty and history, Dubrovnik’s UNESCO-listed Old Town is, quite simply, the undisputed jewel of the Dalmatian Coast. With its beautiful white stone-covered buildings, tiled-roof houses, and limestone streets all encompassed within sea-facing city walls, this city is full of charm and splendour. Whether you want to wander the bustling streets on foot or view the town from the sparkling water of the Adriatic Sea, Dubrovnik is one character-filled city you can’t miss. Wander the cobblestoned streets of Dubrovnik on our 15 day Dubrovnik to Athens tour or on our 15 day Dubrovnik to Bled tour.

If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Dubrovnik then setting sail for the small island of Lokrum is the best way to achieve it. Covered in lush vegetation and surrounded by sparkling blue waters you’re never going to want to leave, this sleepy island presents the perfect opportunity to relax under the warm Croatian sun. Whether you want to soak up the rays on rocks by the sea or wander through the Botanical Garden, you’re guaranteed to find peace within Lokrum’s stunning surroundings. Sail to the small island of Lokrum on our 10 day Dubrovnik to Venice tour or on our 8 day Explore Croatia adventure.

Another day, another magnificent city in Croatia to adventure through; this time, it’s Zadar. Once the capital city of Dalmatia, Zadar boasts a rich heritage that’s easily visible when you start wandering its ancient buildings such as the Roman Forum and St Donatus’ Church. From walking through cultural exhibitions at the Museum of Church Art and exploring the spirited fish markets at the port to admiring the ‘Greeting to the Sun’, a modern monument dedicated to the sun, this energetic destination will surely capture your heart (and your camera’s remaining storage). Explore historic Zadar on our 8 day Croatia & Slovenia tour.

Packed with a rich history you’re going to want to explore, Korcula Island is a hidden gem with as many beautiful sights and ancient buildings as some of the bigger islands, such as Hvar, but without the crowds. Offering a lot of sun to soak up, plenty of golden sandy beaches to lie on, and an abundance of sparkling blue waters to swim in, this seaside destination is truly one-of-a-kind. And you can't forget about the food. From traditional beef stews to the sweet delicacy of travarica, you'll never go hungry in Korcula. Marvel at the sights of Korcula on our 8 day Croatian Coastal Cruising or on our 7 day Cycle Croatia tour.

Split may be Croatia’s second largest city (after Zagreb) but it’s first when it comes to personality and soul with historic streets, a World-Heritage listed palace, and a vibrant mix of shops, cafes, and restaurants scattered throughout its picturesque Old Town. From sipping on frothy kava at a table on the Riva waterfront promenade to listening to street musicians filling ancient courtyards with their sweet sounds, Split promises to take your Croatian tour to another level. Eat your way through Split on our 11 day Slovenia & Croatia Real Food Adventure.

7. Plitvice Lakes National Park

If you thought Croatia couldn’t get any more beautiful, only one visit to Plitvice Lakes National Park is enough to make you change your mind. Gaining World Heritage listed status 20 years ago, this spectacular park covers 19 hectares of wooded hills and 16 turquoise-covered lakes all connected by a series of waterfalls that won’t hesitate to take your breath away. Whether you want to spot some wild animals (think wolves, deer, and birds), wander through the park’s forest vegetation, or simply marvel at the captivating landscape that surrounds you, this dazzling park will be etched in your mind forever. Walk through Plitvice Lakes National Park on our 26 day Budapest to Rome adventure or on our 17 day Dubrovnik to Rome tour.

If culture’s what you’re after, then visiting the spirited city of Zagreb should be high on your Croatia bucket list. Bursting with museums such as the quirky Museum of Broken Relationships or the more traditional Croatian Museum of Naïve Art, and historic locations such as the Mirogoj Cemetery and Lotrščak Tower, you’ll never run out of things to do in Zagreb. Perfect for exploring on foot, this lively destination blends the best of crafts, cuisine, and culture for an adventure you’ll want to relive over and over again. Absorb the Croatian culture on our 19 day Budapest to Venice tour or on our 10 day Dubrovnik to Venice tour.

On the surface, Osijek may seem like just another breathtaking Croatian town but as soon as you start wandering its streets full of grand buildings and popular landmarks, you’ll see why it deserves to be explored. With a laidback atmosphere and bubbling personality, this town will easily have you entranced from its many cafes and restaurants lining the Drava River to its captivating medieval structures. Spend your time walking through the Museum of Slavonia or strolling down the European Avenue for an in-depth look at this remarkable region. Stroll the streets of Osijek on our 29 day Vienna to Dubrovnik tour or on our 15 day Balkan Adventure.

If Dubrovnik is known as the ‘Jewel of the Dalmatian Coast’ then Hvar is the ‘Queen of the Dalmatian Islands’ thanks to its picture-perfect town full of wonderfully preserved Renaissance facades. Boasting plenty to do including admiring the views of the town and the Adriatic Sea from the Spanjola Fortress, wandering the streets full of unusual boutiques and interesting galleries, and sipping on cocktails at a bar by the water, this spectacular island town is like something straight out of a fairytale. 

Croatia has an interesting mix of quaint outdoor markets, modern malls and hip clothing boutiques. There's plenty of options that make better souvenirs than the usual lurid magnets or tourist t-shirts.

It's a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring certain items back into your home country. The   United States   and   Canada  generally have strict customs laws.

Things to buy in Croatia

1. Local produce

If you're able to take food products back to your home country, then Croatia's markets are filled with delicious gourmet produce. Honey, olives, cheese, wine and lavender products are good choices that help to support local farmers and the rural economy.

2. Traditional handicrafts

Embroidered tablecloths, handmade dolls and lace from the island of Pag make authentic gifts for friends back home.

3. Natural cosmetics

Destination Must-See's

Located at the southern tip of Croatia and along the rugged Adriatic Coast, you’ll step back in time in this old walled city and UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a captivating site of an array of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture that lie along narrow cobbled streets. This marble and terracotta city exudes old-world sophistication and will enchant you with its lively culture.

Soak up the elegance of western Croatia in this seaside resort town that was once a favorite retreat for the Austro-Hungarian elite in days gone by. Stroll the promenade built along the winding waterfront, taking in the scenery of sheltered bays, luxurious resorts and deep blue waters.

Roman History:

Croatia was once part of Dalmatia, an ancient Roman province. They ruled here 11 B.C. to about the 5th century A.D. During this period a network of roads was built giving way to easy access for trade between the Aegean and Black seas and the Danube. The most spectacular Roman structure today is Diocletian’s Palace in Split. This was where Emperor Diocletian retired and is said to be the most impressive Roman remnant in Eastern Europe.

It is more than simply the capital of Croatia; it is a vibrant city brimming with culture. The city center is separated into the upper and lower sections connected by a funicular (cable car). Both possess an interesting blend of Austro-Hungarian and modern architecture. You’ll find bustling shopping streets with everything from the most expensive to bargain hunter’s shops. Charming cafés, parks, museums and historic treasures are dotted throughout this dynamic city.

Destination Must-Do's

Beautiful Coast:

The country possesses over 1,100 miles of shore to discover with sapphire waters sprinkled with picturesque islands. You’ll find ancient ports that lie along rugged shores or sandy beaches that brush its pristine waters. It is pretty as a picture with a relaxing atmosphere that rivals the world’s top resorts.

Elaphiti Islands Cruise:

Explore the incredible Elaphiti Islands. Find unsurpassed beauty as you discover the charming towns of white stone perched along the pristine Adriatic Sea. Remnants of medieval buildings and well-preserved manor houses sit among citrus trees and grapevines. These sleepy islands are the perfect place to escape the active lifestyle of the city.

Plitvice Lakes:

The setting is something out of a fairytale —the unimaginable beauty of 16 terraced lakes with countless waterfalls spilling from lake to lake. This natural wonder was created by waters naturally carving out the limestone rock over thousands of years creating dams. Walk along the winding path that brings you up close to the water and in the midst of the breathtaking scenery.

Fresh from the farm and the sea, this is the cuisine of Croatia. Savor Mediterranean flavors that blend the best from its neighbors Italy, Austria, Eastern Europe and Greece. One of the perks of being located along the sea is fresh seafood. You will find it on every menu and it is bursting with flavor.

Expert Advice

Croatian currency is Kuna, however it is common to pay in restaurants and shops with Euro. You’ll usually get your change in Kuna, and the exchange rate may be less favorable than at regular exchange offices.

If you want to bring something home, Croatian artisan olive oils are some of the best in the world. Croatia is also the birthplace of the necktie, the perfect conversation starter to bring back home.

Most Croatians are multi-lingual. Many people you will come across will at least speak some English, and many speak at least one foreign language – English, German or Italian.

Take in the natural beauty of Plitvice

Museum of Arts and Crafts

Zareb’s Museum of Arts and Crafts sits wrapped in an ornate yellow building, presenting over 160,000 objects dating from the 4th-20th century. From watches to musical instruments and fashion accessories to photography, the breadth of objects is beyond impressive.

Ivan Meštrović Gallery

Croatian Museum of Naïve Art

Found in an unassuming building in the heart of Zagreb, the Croatian Museum of Naïve Art impresses with the talents of many local and international artists. Showcasing works that span into the late 1980’s, you will do more than just observe antiquities and distant eras in this Croatian museum.

Translating literally to ‘under the lid’, ispod peke is a cooking technique involving an open wood fire and an oversized pot. Various meats, vegetables and flavors boil beneath the terracotta lid at extreme heats. Devour this heart-warming dish to appreciate slow cooking methods of days gone by.

Despite its simple, tar-like appearance, crni rižot is a delicious dish with an abundance of flavor. Written in English as black risotto, the ink of cuttlefish and squid are the highlights of crni rižot, often finished with a generous serving of parmesan cheese.

Served alongside pasta or gnocchi, the beef stew of pašticada will satisfy your hunger after a long day of exploring. Dating back to the 15th century and playing an important role in special occasions, sampling this meal is a Croatian history lesson in every mouthful.

Best food in Croatia

Tour with Trafalgar and let us reveal to you the secret pleasures of Croatia's food. A blended cuisine inspired by Italy, Turkey and the Mediterranean that is a treat for the taste buds.

What to pack for Croatia

A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin

The colossal tale of ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ by George R.R. Martin inspired the HBO mega-series Game of Thrones. With many scenes from this show filmed in the Croatian towns of Dubrovnik, Trsteno and Split, you can feel a deeper connection to Croatia by flipping through the pages of the book.

A hunger for seafood

Fresh seafood is offered in abundance by Croatian restaurants, usually caught fresh that day from the cool depths of the fringing coast. From fried squid stew with polenta to clams, mussels and lobster, a hearty appetite for seafood will be well satisfied in Croatia.

Whilst Croatians love a morning herbal tea, other tea varieties are not so common. If a certain cup of tea is part of your daily routine, consider packing some from home rather than hunting them down.

Sun protection

At an average of 2715 hours of sunlight per year, Croatia is sunnier than most Australian cities. A hat, many swimsuits and sunblock will all prove essential when visiting the pearl of the Adriatic.

Ginger tablets

Though the Adriatic usually offers a pleasant, mellow time at sea, occasionally Croatia sailing tours are bothered by rough waters. Rather than dosing up on medication, come prepared with ginger tablets. This natural alternative often stops sea-sickness before it even begins.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.
