COFFEE CULTURE IN CROATIA

(from the point of view from an expat)

I come from a culture where we are raised in a way of thinking coffee was a way to connect. Having a coffee together was the perfect way for women to catch up.

However … coming to Croatia I was amazed on how much culture existed round 3 things: coffee, wind and houses. But today I wanna share on how the Croatian see coffee (from the view of a non-Croatian)

Though I noticed the coffeebars before we moved here I never really understood how much social and businesslife is rooted in coffee. The sale of the real estate we bought we arranged in a coffeebar and celebrated in one every time.
Just like

So here are some random facts about Croatian coffee culture.
- The Croatian are coffeesnobs. You might think the Italian are, but no: the Croatian are, hence coffee is very good here
- Starbucks is not in Croatia because they can’t compete with the Croatian coffeebars
- The Croatian keep it classic, no cinnamon moka whipped frappucino but Americano, espresso, macchiato & cappuccino
- It’s perfectly normal for people of the same house to just go out and drink coffee
- Having coffee is the solution for everything
- It’s perfectly okay to take a small snack to nibble while having coffee
- Coffeebars generally have some kind of entertainment for kids. Some pretty cool others a bit scruffy but kids are always welcome
- Coffeebars are always busy
- Both men and women love to go out for a coffee
- The Croatian love to just sit and have a long conversation over a small cup of coffee

If you are in Croatia for summer visiting a coffeebar is probably the most Croatian thing you can do. I prefer mornings, sitting there observing people (actually a very UN croatian thing to do).

Coming to Botanica this summer, we have a list with the best coffeebars for you. ❤️

NIGHTS AT BOTANICA

Croatia is admired by day but the magic happens at night!

Did you know it get dark quite early in Croatia? We are at the end of a timezone so it gets dark here quite early (sun also rises quite early). This means gorgeous sunsets and long summernights.

How can you spent your summernights? Ofcourse you can have a lazy evening on the beach with pizza and a nightswim or you can enjoy the amazing local cuisine at konobas or wineries but don’t underestimate nights at Botanica.

We have a wide array of boardgames, books, toys and games for outside. Have a late night dip in your private pool (it’s heated, nothing beats a nightswim in a heated pool), have a bbq, do a sunset tapas diner or … from this year you can enjoy a campfire at the boma while talking about the craziest things (we have a supercool conversation starter game).

And especially for the early bookers … if you book before Friday we will come and prepare you a traditional peka (stew under the bell) in the fire. We can do it for you while you enjoy a non-alcoholic herbal cocktail or good glass of local wine or you or the kids can join in and we will prepare it together.

Have do you like to spent your summernights?

Croatia isn’t very known for energetic spots etc apart from Istria where you can find some mysterious karst geology with ancient warm radioactive healing springs.

Yet if you follow the line you can see how ancient sites like Assuria and Varvaria or the Croatian Troy connect to the Brijuni islands in the North, but also Nin (a lagune with therapeutic mud just up north from ). Most interesting of all … this line goes straight through the middle a small island in the middle of lake Visovac just a few kilometers from here.

Along this line you can find many ancient ruines of Roman and Greek temples but also wellness zones with good air and water, thermal springs and therapeutic mud.

If you would like to visit some sites feel free to sent us an enquiry.

Is Croatia an expensive destination?

Some might say yes but if you ask a person that really knows the country, they will tell you the best summervacations in Croatia ask for no paid excursions.

Swipe to see 10 FREE things to do in Croatia!

1. Eye of the earth or Cetina’s eye: Free of charge and also very off the beaten path since it’s quite far from the knows touristic villages. But spoiler: the one hour ride from Sibenik alone is mad from start to finish. (Combine with Holy Salvation church)
2. Skradin beach: a beach by the Krka river with free umbrellas and a view to die for. Playground and affordable foods available.
3. Visit the OPG’s: Not really free but you can discover, test & buy great local products at great prices. Sibenik-Knin? Think wine, prsut, natural beauty products, cheeses, honey, fruits, vegetables, …
4. Paddleboard by sunset: my favorite beach for paddling? Brodarica! You get a stunning view of Krapanj island for free. (For visitors of , free use of paddleboards)
5. Visovac island: Fair enough … only free on Sunday. Travelhack: this island in the middle of Krka NP can be visited for free by boat on Sunday mornings.
6. Krcic: One of the most beautiful waterfalls in Croatia. No entrance, you can swim, wonderful educational trail, every 5 minutes a stunning viewpoint, loads of picknickspots & hardly any visitors
7. Cikola canyon: hike the 3km trail, about 1.5 hour and get treated to some mad sights. Enjoy a sunset picknick after.
8. Hike the Krka Canyon: Yes, you can do this for free, actually you only need to pay for very little sights in the NP
9. Vrlika Fortress: Wonderful road over there, wonderful town, big free parking and amazing fortress to visit. (Don’t go with kids under 6 years old due to steep drops)
10. Saint-Nicolas Fortress: walk over two footbridges over the sea to the fortress. On Skoljic island (where the first footpath stops) you can explore bunkers.

Tell me! Which one did you like best!
