Dubrovnik Christmas Shop

Bartering for baubles is off the agenda for most holidaymakers, but here in Dubrovnik, local crafter Vera Skaramuca has turned shopping for Christmas decorations into a painless pursuit with this dinky shop. Light on the tinsel and hand-carved from wood or knitted from wool, her pastoral-themed Christmas creations are spot on. Surreally, its also one of the few places in Croatia you can shop for festive gear in your sandals.
