Croatian Farmer's Markets
Are the perfect place to for you to meet the locals.
To listen to the melody of the language.
To soak up the abundance of fresh food, and best of all to experience Croatia first hand.
We Croats LOVE our farmer's markets!
For many, it's one of their favorite weekend rituals. Spending the morning walking between stands, picking and choosing groceries and afterward sitting at a cafe just chilling for an hour or two.
Yes, sipping coffee for hours while talking to friends really does last for hours here. But, that's a story for another post.
Right now, I want to show you the usual things you will see on a typical farmer's market in Croatia.
