Prices in Croatia due to the popularity of this country are not falling. You can even say that the trend is rather increasing, from season to season. Greater tourist interest in Croatia results in higher prices. In particular with regard to admission tickets to all attractions, and to a lesser extent to accommodation. When it comes to food prices in stores in Croatia, it’s not so bad because the costs are not increasing yet.
First of all, the place where we buy it affects the prices of food in Croatia. In seaside resorts and in cities such as Dubrovnik or Split it is definitely more expensive. Food bought in small shops will not be the cheapest either. It’s best to do grocery shopping in chain stores such as Tommy, Konzum, Studenac, Spar or Lidl. It is also worth remembering that in the summer season prices may be even higher by a few kuna, especially in tourist destinations.
You should get fruit and vegetables at local markets and stands. Purchased straight from the field from local farmers, they will definitely be better in quality than those from the market and also cheaper. In turn, for fish and fresh seafood, you can go to the nearby port or marina and buy them directly from the fishermen. On the other hand, it is worth buying bread in local bakeries, maybe it will not be overwhelmingly cheaper, but certainly better and freshly baked.
