Shops & Restaurants In Croatia
Supetar is the capital of Brac and offers a number of shops and fashion outlets
in and around the main harbour and off the main promenade in the quant side streets.
However the main hub of the shopping experience can be found in the cosmopolitan
outlets of the Old Town Split. On the main land this 40 mins ferry trip is an
experience not to be missed. Their are hundreds of family run fashion outlets
with lots to offer. So whether its those special Italian shoes at Croatian prices
or those inexpensive designer labels, Split offers you the ultimate shopping
delight. Split also has two main shopping precedents to cater for the more casual
or every day fashion items.
The cuisine in Supetar caters for a wide range of tastes; from the delicate Croatian
marinate lamb dish - Streaks, the traditional wood fire cooked Pizza, to Fresh
Fish, Steak, Vegetarian even Chinese style cuisine. Croatians take both their
food and drink very seriously. It's not just food for the body, but for the soul.
While the country prides itself on local delicacies brought by foreign invaders throughout the centuries - Romans, Greeks, Venetians and Austro-Hungarians - Istria is the country's larder. It is brimming with natural specialties: olives and grapes grow abundantly on the sunlit slopes. Harbours ring with the sounds of shouting as fishermen return with nets full of fresh fish and shellfish .Warm inland forests harbour magnificent ceps and prized truffles (including the biggest ever found in the world!). Butchers proudly display sausages and the prized pr_ut (or prosciutto) that plays such a large role in Croatian dining. Everywhere there are delicious snacks: hot prosciutto rolls, fresh pastries, nutty delicacies, and of course fresh fish.
