Local food to try in Croatia
Peka
A tender meat (usually veal or lamb) and vegetable dish slow-cooked under a heavy iron bell buried in glowing embers.
Pašticada
A rich, slow-simmered Dalmatian beef pot roast marinated in vinegar and wine, served with handmade potato gnocchi.

Practical tips for Croatia
- Croatia adopted the Euro (€) in 2023, and while cards are widely accepted, always keep some cash on hand for island taxis, local markets, and small beach kiosks.
- Use Jadrolinija or Krilo catamarans to hop between islands, but be sure to book foot passenger and car ferry tickets well in advance during peak summer months.
- Pack sturdy water shoes because most Croatian beaches are made of smooth pebbles rather than sand, and sea urchins commonly rest among coastal rocks.
Fun fact about Croatia
The modern necktie originated in Croatia during the 17th century, when French King Louis XIV adopted the silk scarves worn by Croatian mercenaries, giving rise to the French word 'cravate' (from 'Croat').
