Reviews from VirtualTourist Members

Nothing in particular.: Souvenirs and Postcards.

by A2002

Postcards are more expensive than what you can get in London or Paris or other big cities in Western Europe. Hence, we only got a couple. The quality of the postcards does not appeal to me for the price.The touristy souvenirs that I will usually buy, such as fridge magnets, are more expensive in Croatia compared to Western Europe. The quality for the price is not what I am looking for...Everywhere you go, there will be someone selling laced tableclothes, etc. They are beautiful and I suppose hand-made.

SMS products: Croatian souvenirs (4): Taste of Mediterranean

by diocletianvs

Food in coastal areas of the Adriatic is typical Mediterranean food that consists of lots of fish products, vegetables and olive oil. This relatively new company is producing a wide range of healthy products produced from natural ingredients, with traditional methods and packed in well-designed packages that are suitable for small gifts or as a remainder to your stay in Croatia. The product range includes Salted and marinated fish program, Fruits & vegetables and Olive oils. Be warned however that their products such as “Adriatic sardine fillets with capers in olive oil”, “Green olives with almonds” or “Green olives with dried fig” as well as Fig marmalade and Orange marmalade possibly create a total addiction! Bon appetit! Plain olivesGreen pitted olives in Dalmatian Marinade Green olives with fennel Green olives with capersGreen olive with garlic Black baked olives with herbs in olive...

TOZ Penkala: Croatian souvenirs (3): Penkala pen

by diocletianvs

Eduard Slavoljub Penkala (1871 – 1922) was Zagreb-based extraordinary inventor and innovator, known by its aim to make practical devices simpler, more useful and of a higher quality. On 24 January 1906 he registered the patent for an automatic pencil, a truly revolutionary innovation among writing instruments of the time. The automatic pencil was an instant success, and soon "Penkalomania" spread around the world. This was helped by a clever advertising logo depicting a friendly man with a pointed nose and big ear with an automatic pencil tucked behind it. The company diversified into other writing instruments and accessories patented by Penkala. As the business grew, a second factory was set up in Berlin.Zagreb factory became one of the largest and most modern in Europe, thanks to its modern operating methods and the unprecedented care it took of its workers. New product lines were...

Paprenjak: Croatian souvenirs (2): Paprenjak

by diocletianvs

Paprenjak is a gingerbread-type traditional Croatian aromatic pastry that supposedly dates back from Renaissance times. It is also said that Paprenjak’s ingredients - honey, walnuts and pepper, almost perfectly present the Croatian history itself: a sweet-peppery bite to the taste of many. With its special rectangular shape and folklore motives it presents a true souvenir from Croatia. There are various packages of Paprenjaks available - from a single wrapped cookie to the 200 g luxurious packages. They all come in a well design boxes or bags with a Paprenjak story. From 10kn.

Croata: Croatian souvenirs (1): Cravata

by diocletianvs

The story goes that in the 17th Century Croatian soldiers within the Napoleon army were spotted to wear particular scarves around their necks as part of their standard uniforms. This "Croatian Style" became very popular among the French noblemen around the year 1650, and soon the fashionable expression in French "a la croate" became the word which in many languages still resembles to the name of Croatia - the homeland of the Cravate. Every day more than 600 million people around the globe wear this fashion detail around their necks, close to their hearts. Croata company produces original Croatian neckties that can be found in almost all Croatian towns. Special packages are also available for all those looking for original souvenir from Croatia - Croata with a Story. From 26$ for a Souvenir Collection up to 150$ for special collections.

by KasiaWin

You must stop in wayside stand and taste fresh fruit expecially fresh figs ( green or violet ), melon, oranges. In Europe haven't thas proud fruits. Fresh fruits are very chip. I payd for 1,5 kg - 1 EUR. It's worth a try.

Kras products

by anaiis

Kras's sweets are something special. They are very retro now! Since in former Yugoslavia there was almost no other brand of candies, we were glad to have Kras (pronoun. Krash). The Kras's products you will still find in most of the shops in former Yugoslavia (also in Slovenia, Ljubljana). Kras does make some salty products also like salted sticks, salted fish shaped bytes etc. Kras hasn't changed the envelope of its products for decades and that is what makes it so special! Now we are eating this products with nostalgy, remembering our childhood when we were revarded with these candies. And we worshiped the Kras's boxes and looked at the envelopes as there was some hidden answer. Kras's factory was first established in 1911 so our parents and even grandparents share the same feelings about it. Featuring - these on the picture are called "ice cubes" or "ledene kocke". Those are filled...

Local Money

by bermanv

Croatian currency, kuna (1 kuna = 100 lipas), is currently (Sep 2002) rated about 7.30 kunas for one dollar (or euro). The exchange offices (mjenjacnica, if I spell it right) are common, but most of them are closed after 20:00. To exchange 100 euros or more, they require a passport or an ID; but, oddly, you can do 50, and then return with another 50 after a few minutes - or visit another mjenjacnica. You can also use major credit cards to draw money (obvious).
