Renting a holiday home in Croatia, having lazed on warm beaches and bathed in the azure waters of the Adriatic, it's time to go shopping and markets in search of gifts for relatives and friends.

Undoubtedly, having visited Croatia you can not bring out a fine wine made of grape varieties that have ripened under the hot rays of the Balkan sun. Each of the regions of the country is famous for its special kind of sweet drink, for example, the inhabitants of Istria are proud of Malvasia (this region is the homeland of white wine), in Northern Dalmatia they create the famous Babich (mainly red varieties are produced here). By the way, Croatian nectar is customary to drink diluted water.

In addition to wine, it is important to buy a cheese of local production, for example, on the island of Pak create the famous "Pashka" - cheese, soaked for six months in olive oil. On the market you can buy natural sheep cheese, created by Croats according to unique family recipes.

If during the holiday you have settled not in a large city, but in a small village located on the beach, you can temporarily leave the spa house in Croatia and go to a nearby large populated area. In the city, look in the supermarket, you can buy branded clothes at an inexpensive price, in the Balkans models from the last collections appear much earlier than in Russia.

As a souvenir from Croatia, you can bring paintings (in Istria there are lots of old streets, where their work is sold by local artists). The island of Pag is famous for lace, however, their price is quite high for an average Russian - 100 euros for lace in diameter 10-15 centimeters. From Istria you can bring figured candles handmade.
