Numerous small boutiques and open markets offer a good choice of clothes, shoes and bags. Of course, ties - cravats in fashionable designs are a popular buy in the country of their origin - Croatia.

While in Croatia many visitors enjoy and take home the only original marachino sour cherry liqueur and cherry brandy, excellent wines, typical brandies (based on the basis of winepress residue and herbs), sweet prosecco (sherry) wine, different products on the basis of truffles, virgin olive oil, capers, tinned fillets of salted fish, smoked ham, kulen and other smoked and cured meats, not forgetting the internationally renowed food seasoning Vegeta.
