Did you know that Croatia is the motherland of ties?Yes! Ties were invented here, in Croatia!So you better buy a Croatian tie for yourself or as a present to a friend. There is a special Croata shop in Split selling Croatian ties, there are even ladies' ties there! Ties about $50
.Don't forget to taste delicious Croatian wines in a restaurant and then to buy it (if you like wine).You can buy them in each grocery, supermarket, wine store and even at petrol stations..The culture of winemaking has been known on Croatian soil since Roman invasion.

Lavender bags are very popular in Croaita. I saw lots of lavender bags in different cities even small towns. Croatians made little bags or tiny cushions made of laces for lavender seeds. It smells good. Actually I bought plenty of lavender bags as gift to family & friends. Alsý i should say that bags are very attractive for photographers by their colours.
There is an open air market at downtown of Pula. You can buy vegetable, fruit, flowers, cheese, olve and honey. Among these honey is very tasty. Pula honey is completely natural and no atificials in it. In Croatian honey is "med". honey
in croatia you often see people selling locally made products by the side of the street from small stalls.this is often farming products like cheese and honey, but locally made alcohol is common too.i personally love buying from the ladies by the side of the road and i also think it´s a good way to support the local economy. cheese, honey and grappa can often be bought by the side of the road. prices there are very flexible and you can mostly haggle the price down if you like that.
At the end of the pedestrian street there are a lot of good women's clothes shops and there is the shopping center.In the old town there are small shop for souvenirs and good jewelry.Under the Diocleciano's palace there are a big gallery with local art (draws and engravings), jewerly and souvenirs. It's opend till ten o'clock at night. Choral jewerly is cheaper than the rest of Europe and really good.Local artist are really good and there are several art galleries with good prices. It's not expensive.
If you like street markets, you can find a few in Croatia, like this one in Zagreb, in a square named Dolac, in the city centre. There were mainly fruits and veggies but also flowers, some local craft and food vendors.
We saw in Split many shoe-stores, with very acceptable prices (that is what my girlfriend told me ;-)) If we didn't backpacked she definitely would buy some (read multiple!) Shoes! Very acceptable prices
If you want to buy cheap or have a larg offer of choice, the KONZUM is a larg department store which can be find near any larger city. Food, clothes, … you name it!They sell "pipi" which is very funny as this is how urine is called in dutch :-) ... NO! I didn't buy it to see how it tasted like :-) not to expencive
Don't we all love fresh markets? The colour, the smells, the buzz. Local people going about the regular daily routine. Being offered a taste of this, a sniff of that, a sliver of cheese, a oily black olive, a sweet ripe cherry.As you would expect, there are some great markets to check out in Croatia. The fruit and vegetables all look - and taste - so fresh - tree-ripened fruit bursting with flavour, crisp salads and crunchy vegetables. Flowers straight from the garden. Bright-eyed fish and seafood still squirming. Big rounds of home made cheese and eggs practically still warm from the nest. Home-made fresh fruit syrups and relishes.If you're self-catering in an apartment these are the perfect places to stock up for dinner. Otherwise content yourself with the ingredients for a picnic lunch, a fruity snack or simply fil the eye with it all.
