Holidays
Transport
bus service excellent in Croatia. Fast express buses run everywhere, often several times a day. Public transport Zagreb is primarily represented by trams, although they are not needed in the center due to the compactness of this part of the city. Tram tickets can be purchased at newspaper kiosks. One ticket is enough for a 90-minute tram ride, but only in one direction. Taxis are equipped with meters.

Kitchen
In addition to the usual European cuisine, in Croatia guests are offered National dishes. Traditional Croatian snacks include: Dalmatian or Istrian “prshut” (a type of raw smoked ham), Pash (from the island of Pag) or lichka (from the Lika region) cheese, sheep cheese, Slavonian “kulen” (a variety of spicy salami), famous Samobor or Zagorski “cheshnyovki” (spicy sausages), fresh homemade cottage cheese with homemade sour cream, etc. In Dalmatia, Primorye, on the islands and on the Istrian peninsula, the main dishes are prepared from fish and seafood, and from meat dishes the most popular are “pašticada” (a savory beef dish) and boiled young lamb. The continental part of Croatia is distinguished by a rich selection of meat dishes, and special place the menu here includes such specialties as turkey with “mlintsy” (a type of pasta), baked lamb and piglet, as well as boiled or baked “strukli” (cottage cheese pies). From flour confectionery, we suggest you try pies with poppy seeds or walnuts, puff pastry strudel with cottage cheese or various fruits. Croatia is rich in the tradition of winemaking, both in the continental part of the country, and in Primorye and Dalmatia. Among the red wines along Adriatic coast and on the islands, teran, merlot, cabernet, opolo, plavac, dingach and step are known, and among whites - poship, pinot, kuyunjusha, zhlahtina, muscat, etc. In the continental part, Riesling, grashevina, burgundac, traminac and other varieties are popular . Of the strong alcoholic drinks, various varieties of brandy are most famous: slivovitz (from plums), travaritsa (from herbs) and lozovacha and biska (from grapes), and from dessert wines - proshek and maraschino.
Sea and beaches
The coast of Croatia is, in fact, a solid beach. The entire coastal zone at a distance of several meters from the edge of the surf inland belongs to the state, so you can swim almost anywhere, except national reserves. On the Istrian peninsula, with rare exceptions, these are mainly artificial concrete platforms, natural stones. IN Middle Dalmatia, especially in places south of Split (Brela, Baska Voda, Tucepi) and on the island of Brac, they are pebbly and are considered the best on the entire coast. The pines here grow so close to the surf line that no umbrellas are needed. These places are especially attractive for families with children. In South Dalmatia there are pebble, rocky, and concrete ones, and on the islands in the Dubrovnik region there are sandy beaches. On the island of Pag there are places with very small pebbles called "sand", with the accent on the first syllable. Given the specifics of the Croatian coastal zone and for safety reasons (due to the fact that many beaches are stones, and there is also a chance to stumble upon sea urchins), we recommend using special slippers for swimming, which are sold here at every turn. They are much more comfortable and convenient. Entire fleets of yachts operate along the entire coast. Diving is especially popular. The Croatian government understands all the advantages of its position and in every possible way develops the tourism sector under the slogan "Here you will find the Mediterranean Sea, as it was in former times."
Unique nature, clean sea, healthy air.
In terms of environmental cleanliness, Croatia ranks first in Europe. The cleanest Adriatic Sea, the air filled with the aromas of pine needles, in terms of ecology, this country is comparable to the famous one. Color is added by picturesque coasts covered with pine forests and indented by islands (there are 1185 of them) coastline. Add to that 300 sunny days a year and a minimum of precipitation. It is not surprising that every year thousands of tourists come to the resorts of Croatia to spend their holidays here. The climate here is mild: summer lasts from May to September, the air warms up to 30 degrees on average, and sea water - up to 27. Unique sights, monuments of antiquity and the Middle Ages, attract tourists from all over the world. When vacationing in Croatia in 2016, be sure to take the time to visit the palace of the Roman emperor Diocletian in Split, the Colosseum in Pula, the Tavsat castle in Risk, the ruins of the 11th century cathedral in Zagreb and of course, the oldest pharmacy in Europe, episcopal palace and the medieval monasteries of Dubrovnik.Plitvice Lakes is one of the wonders of Croatia.
Croatia offers great opportunities for those who love to travel and discover new places. Dubrovnik and the island of Lokrum with an abandoned Benedictine monastery, sightseeing tours By old streets Split and Zagreb, a visit to Venice, a trip to the numerous islands of the coast - this is not the whole list of excursions that Croatia can please. However, the real miracle is the Plitvice Lakes National Park, which covers an area of 200 square meters: sixteen lakes, interconnected by 92 cascades of waterfalls, are considered a unique natural phenomenon. No language barrier and friendly welcome.
You will be easily understood by hotel employees and waiters in a restaurant, even if you address them in Russian. The Croatian language is close to Russian, so there is no language barrier as such. In addition, the Croats are very hospitable hosts and are always ready to welcome guests. IN Lately There are more and more Russians in Croatian resorts, so in many hotels you can meet Russian-speaking staff. However, in order to finally win over the local population, we advise you to still learn a few words in Croatian. Kitchen
The cuisine is very varied. Usually, there is a distinction between the cuisine of the central regions, which was greatly influenced by Slavic, Hungarian, Viennese and Turkish cuisines, and the cuisine of the coastal regions, which is strongly influenced by Greek, Italian and French. culinary traditions. Central and mountainous areas are famous for their simple dishes, the menus of the Dalmatian, Istrian and Kvarner regions are dominated by fish and seafood. There are many recipes and ingredients, but one thing remains the same - the freshness of the products, the love that Croats put into every dish and, of course, the amazing taste.
