Brief

  • Try Dalmatian specialities such as pašticada, soparnik, grilled Adriatic fish and seafood, and local prošek dessert wine.
  • Split's historic centre is busiest in summer, especially around Diocletian's Palace and the Riva. Allow extra time for ferry and airport connections during the peak season.

Safety and health

  • Use insect repellent and wear long clothing in areas with ticks or sand flies. Croatia has reported risks of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever from tick bites and leishmaniasis from sand-fly bites. (cdc.gov)
  • Hikers and campers should check themselves for ticks after outdoor activities. Tap water is generally safe to drink in Croatia, but avoid homemade wine sold in refilled plastic containers, which may cause stomach illness. (wikivoyage.org)
