Currency and payment methods: The official currency of Croatia is Euros (EUR). Credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, and Maestro) are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, shops, and larger cities like Split and Dubrovnik. However, it's a good idea to carry some cash for small purchases and in more remote areas. Notify your bank about your travel plans to ensure that your debit/credit card works smoothly abroad, and enquire about any associated fees. ATMs are readily available in cities and tourist destinations, making it convenient to withdraw cash in Euros. Be aware of potential foreign transaction fees imposed by your bank when using ATMs abroad. Be sure to budget for extra meals, drinks and taxi/ bus fares. You'll also want to buy some souvenirs and go shopping for local products, such as Croatian wine, olive oil, and handicrafts. Tipping Policy: Tipping in Croatia is appreciated but not obligatory. It's a common practice to leave a tip for good service. In restaurants, it's customary to round up the bill or leave a tip of 10% to 15% of the total amount if service is not included in the bill. Check the bill to see if a service charge has already been added. For other services, such as guided tours or transportation, tipping is also appreciated but not mandatory. You can round up or leave a small tip as a gesture of gratitude. Currency Exchange: It's advisable to exchange some currency before your trip or upon arrival at the airport or a local bank for convenience. Exchange rates may vary, so compare rates at different exchange offices to get the best deal.

Greetings: When meeting someone for the first time or entering a shop or restaurant, it's customary to offer a polite greeting, such as "Dobar dan" (Good day) or "Bok" (Hi). A handshake is a common form of greeting for both men and women in Croatia. Dress Code: Dalmatia, like much of Croatia, has a relaxed dress code, especially in coastal areas. Casual attire is generally acceptable for most occasions, including sightseeing and dining at casual restaurants. However, dress modestly when visiting churches or religious sites. Language: While many people in tourist areas speak English and other languages, learning a few basic Croatian phrases can go a long way in showing respect for the local culture. Respect for traditions and customs: Be mindful of local customs, especially in smaller communities. Respect religious traditions, and ask for permission before taking photographs in churches or at local events. If you are invited into someone's home, it's customary to bring a small gift, such as flowers or a bottle of wine, as a token of appreciation. Beach etiquette: Follow the local beach rules, which may include designated swimming areas and respecting quiet hours. Nudity on public beaches is generally not acceptable.
