Croatian food: 20 dishes you absolutely have to try
  • Restaurants

Plucked from the sea or reared and cultivated on the land according to traditional methods, Croatian fish, meat and vegetables are then prepared with extra virgin olive oil, on wood-fired grills, on road-side spits and beneath slow-roasting, dome-shaped lids. The result is a simple but delicious Mediterranean cuisine, taking in Croatia's best delicacies, that you can expect to find the length and breadth of Dalmatia, Istria and also in Zagreb.

A piece of an Ancient Roman jug and a bowl have been found in the waters off Vis island by a team of specialist archaeologists. Among the crew was Mariusz Milka, part of the team behind Seamagination, and interviewed by Time Out Croatia in January. Seaimagination creates a digital documentation of Croatia’s cultural heritage underwater and on land. Mariusz was working alongside Tea Katunarić, an underwater archaeologist from Split University. The artefacts were discovered near the small islet of Host off the north-east coast of Vis. Only popular with tourists in recent years, Vis was off-limits to visitors for many decades, and has no industry – so the waters around it are clear. Mariusz and his team have just published this short video clip showing their successful endeavour: Once occupied by Ancient Greeks and Romans, Vis has long been a happy hunting ground for divers in search of rare finds. Mariusz is keen to point out that novices should not remove any potential historic treasure from its location: “If you find an archaeological artefact underwater, do not take it out. Instead, mark the place so that it can be easily found again. It would also be a good idea to take a photo of the find so that you don’t have to try to describe it in words when you report it to the appropriate people or institutions. In Croatia, such a find can be reported to the Ministry of Culture and Media, the local archaeological museum or to local archaeologists, for example,

The best Croatian beaches
  • Travel

The first thing the foreign visitor should know about beaches in Croatia is that very few of them are sandy. Fine shingle is the closest you’re going to get – and, in most cases, the beach is one of smooth pebbles or rocks. Only in rare cases – such as the city beach of Bačvice in Split – has someone come and dumped sand somewhere convenient because it’s easier for people to play and lie on. What you see is what has been here for millennia, a long, rugged, indented coastline fringed by more than 1,000 islands, almost all of it unblemished by man, industry or motorboat. The range is astounding: some are pure serenity, while others attract toddler-wielding families seeking play-spots in the sun. On some you’ll hear the background buzz of bars and café strips – on others, nothing but the waves. Facilities around beaches are usually simple – at most a couple of cafés nearby. Don’t expect showers or changing rooms, although beaches near hotels usually have a concrete platform to lay your towel on or dry off easily. Those in the main towns and major resorts will have the standard shops on hand, perhaps a restaurant with a panoramic view. In certain cases, a beach will be the ideal location for a nightclub, but it would be wrong to suggest that Croatia’s coastline is built up – yet. The government sets strict guidelines on planning: no permission will be granted for a construction nearer than 100 metres from the Adriatic. Without much industry to speak of, the country depends on to

Croatia’s coast is pure, nearly all 2,000 kilometres and 1,200 islands of it, and is open to all. Verdant islands, bare karst-rock islands, tiny dots of islands with nothing on them but a lighthouse converted to accommodate isolated holidaymakers, naturist islands, islands with just deer and naturists feeding them, islands with cocktail bars attracting the VIP set, islands for windsurfers, islands for sculptors, islands for Tito’s political prisoners, islands for Tito’s collection of safari animals, islands so remote they’re nearer to Italy, islands called home by a family of 120 dolphins, islands of age-old fishing traditions, islands with a particular cave in which the sunlight turns a brilliant blue for an hour each day, islands known for their wine, cheese or anchovy pasties. More than 80 per cent of Croatia’s islands have no people on them at all. If you’re looking for an island worthy of a week’s stay, some – like Brač – are expansive enough to have their own airports. If you’re after daytrips and excursions, most can be reached by ferry from the mainland. Some of the tinier islands are determinedly deserted, meaning that overnight stays are banned – but you can still take boat trips to these Adriatic gems. There’s plenty of island hopping to be done, here’s our pick of the best in Croatia.  RECOMMENDED: 43 great things to do in Croatia.RECOMMENDED: The best Airbnbs in Croatia.

  • Clubs

Dubrovnik nightlife is unusual - while the city has an abundance of bars, clubs are relatively few. But what they lack in quantity, they more than make up for in quality. Clubs here tend to capitalise on the city's brilliant architecture; you might find yourself raving in a cavernous 16th-century fortress or between the stony walls of ex-quarantine barracks. Head to one of these places after hitting one of Dubrovnik's many spectacular bars, and you're guaranteed a special night. RECOMMENDED: more bars in Dubrovnik.
