Croatia
Currency in Croatia
The unit of currency in Croatia is the Croatian kuna, which was introduced to the newly independent country in 1994, replacing the Yugoslav dinar at a rate of 1 kuna for 1000 dinar. Kuna literally means 'marten', a throwback to earlier times when the currency of the region was animal skins and marten pelts were considered valuable. One kuna is sub-divided into 100 lipa (which means linden tree).
Climate of Croatia
The part of Croatia that is best known and most visited by tourists is the Dalmatian coast and its islands in the Adriatic Sea.
This region has a Mediterranean type of climate with mild winters and warm, sometimes even hot and sunny summers.
Croatian cuisine
Croatians are very proud of their traditions especially when it comes to their cuisine. Most of their food and drink traditions were of foreign influences, particularly Italian, Austrian, Hungarian and Turkish food. Croatian cuisine is very diverse. Aside form the nice places we can see there, their food is also to die for.
