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.

Another amazing adventure by Travel Talk!
This is the second trip I have booked through Travel Talk and I’m already looking to book a third!!
Our guide, Andre was the best. Instantly he made a connection with all of us where we all felt like family which was fantastic since we were about to be on a boat for 8 days together.
This tour has something for everyone, you can lay low and soak up the sun or take an adventure like rafting or zip lining.
We would start each morning with a causal breakfast and a quick swim as the captain led us across the Adriatic Sea to our next destination. At lunch, we would all meet in the dining area for a delicious 3 course meal and conversation. During dessert, Andre would explain the day’s agenda and options. Shortly after we would arrive at our destination and embark on the day. At night, we would enjoy family dinner together at one of Andre’s suggestions which were always spot on & delicious!!! Then we would return to the boat for showers & “Happiness” hours before we would take on the nightlife!
I can’t not say enough about this trip, it was the perfect summer get away!!!
Each location had its own uniqueness, I honestly can not chose just one. Every day was something new and exciting!
Andre and the crew were absolutely the best!
Thank you Travel Talk for another fabulous vacation!!!
