Croatia is covered in a healthy and unique smattering of shopping options, from open-air markets to modern malls, factory outlets, souvenir stands and quaint hipster boutiques. The best places to shop include the Old Towns of both Split and Dubrovnik. Haggling is not commonplace in Croatia with most items on sale in both shops and markets being sold at a fixed price.
Lavendar products
Hvar
Home to endless fields of blossoming and aromatic lavender, Croatia is the perfect place to shop for locally grown lavender products. Hvar Island is particularly well known for its hilly landscape fields and magnificent scent. From soaps to cosmetics, dried fragrance bags, essential oils and even lavender flavoured ice cream, Hvar has it all! Lavender products range in pricing with dried fragrance bags starting from 2 USD.
Lace
Countrywide
Croatia has a long tradition of lacemaking with certain threads protected by the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Europe. Traditionally crafted to decorate costumes, tablecloths, and bedding - it's not uncommon to find elderly women selling their handcrafted small lace doilies down cobblestone alleyways and in marketplaces across the coastline and islands of Croatia. Prices for small doilies start at approximately 5 USD.
Glassware
Split-Dubrovnik
Croatia has a great variety of arts and crafts but none quite as prestigious as glassware in the region of Samobor. Here you'll find the specialised traditions of glass making passed down through generations, resulting in the handicraft of anything from kitchen utensils to crystal jewellery. In most of the larger cities, there are daily demonstrations of glassblowing, bead making and miniature glass bottle production which travellers are welcome to attend. Prices for glassware start at 50 USD.
