Forget what you've heard about French bakeries—when in Croatia, a visit to a local bakery is a must.

With one seemingly on every corner and many open late into the night, they're ideal for post-party or beach snacks. Indulge in pastries and burek —a flaky, phyllo-pastry delight filled with savory options like cheese, meat, or spinach. It's not just a snack; it's a cultural experience you won't want to miss!

Here are some of our recommendations of what to pack for your trip:

• Lightweight Clothing: T-shirts, blouses, and long-sleeve shirts for layering.
  
• Bottoms: Shorts, skirts, and lightweight pants or jeans.
  
• Sweater or Light Jacket: For cooler evenings or windy days.
  
• Swimwear: Beaches in Croatia are beautiful, so don’t forget your swimsuit.
  
• Comfortable Walking Shoes: For exploring cities and historical sites.
  
• A Dressy Outfit: For nicer dinners or evenings out.
  
• Light Rain Jacket or Umbrella: May can have occasional showers.
  
• Swimming shoes: Most beaches in Croatia are pebble beaches.

🕶️ Accessories:

• Sunglasses and Hat
  
• Waterproof Bag: For beach days or boat trips.
  
• Daypack: For day trips and carrying essentials.

🔌 Other Essentials:

• Sunscreen
  
• Reusable Water Bottle: Stay hydrated while exploring.
  
• Travel Adapters: Croatia uses Type C and Type F plugs.
  
• Camera: Besides your phone, for capturing the beautiful landscapes.

Restaurants, Bars & Cafés: In Croatia, it's customary to leave a tip in restaurants, cafes, and bars. The standard amount to tip is 5-10% of the total bill, depending on the level of service you received. Tipping is voluntary, and you should only tip if you feel that the service was good. Some restaurants may include a service charge in the bill, so be sure to check before leaving an additional tip.

Guides & Drivers: For a half-day tour, a good guideline is to tip around €10-€20 per person, and for a full-day tour, €20-€30 per person. For drivers, you can tip around €10-€20 per day. Tipping is a way of showing appreciation for good service, and it's always up to your discretion.

As you head to Croatia, we hope you'll embrace the local vibe of laganini. It’s all about taking it easy and enjoying the moment, whether you’re hanging out with loved ones, savoring a delicious meal, or just chilling by the sea.

This laid-back lifestyle is a big part of the culture here, thanks to the beautiful scenery and great weather. So, relax, soak it all in, and enjoy the slower pace of life on the Croatian coast.
