thinking of going to Croatia in a weeks time but not sure about the food shopping aspect. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you.
 
Spar is quite prominent :) Konzum is the biggest chain .
Kplus is their own brand .
 
Thank you. I am never happy until I know where to get the shopping. Very helpful.
 
and local smaller supermarkets and some outdoor markets - not as many as France though.
We love Croatia and Slovenia- definitely one of our favourite countries. Where are you thinking of visiting?
Our favourite is a small town called Fazana which is on the bus route to Pula so you have the advantage of a smaller not so touristy place and the big town if you want it. Beautiful colour sea too.
Don't forget to visit the Plitvica Falls an the Krk falls if you can.
Have a great time.

Thank you. We would like to aim for Porec as we visited on a package hol many years ago. Love the sound of the site you mention. Is it easy to find? Visited Plitvica Falls on that package holiday. Also do the supermarkets take credit cards?

We visited Fanzana and stayed at the lovely Bi. Village resort. Loved it and it is everything it says it is! Only one problem - we had decided to stay for at least a week but had to leave after 3 nights due to lack of sleep caused by the Party Boats mooring offshore and rapping etc., with boom boxes or whatever they call them, at full volume until 6 am. As one left another called in! Regrettably we left this beautiful country In rather a hurry as it looked as the whole area from Pula Rovinji and Porec were on their itinerary. Sadly our time for this particular trip is limited so we are now sitting on another beautiful site opposite Venice and enjoying the tranquillity!

Been to Croatia and former Jugoslavia about 8 times now. Presently in Orebic opposite the beautiful Korcula. Yes Konzum is popular and so is Lidl but the Konzum at the site gates here reminds me of the former Jugoslavian supermarkets....many empty shelves. Prices down here also seem to be high. One can of beer is a quid. Wife says she could have saved a few bob if we'd brought more canned stuff. Other members on here might not agree but I think its well worth travelling the extra few miles and going south of Split as the Makarska Riviera is stunning. Dubrovnik is beautiful but busy with the cruise boats. Take a look at my blog of my travels

We stayed at Bi Village on the edge of Fazana too. It was early June and we didn't have any noisy music thank goodness. Bi Village isn't the sort of place we'd pick at the height of the season (probably just July and August) but when we were there it was tranquil. You can pitch near the sea amd jus go through the back gate and walk along the coast in to the town. Magic.
 
I agree with all of that.lovely. thought September would be tranquil also!!

Just to forewarn all potential travellers to Croatia, the days of the Tranquil September seem to be over. The place is heaving. Campsite Nevio was emptying out the other day but its filling up again. Just spoke to an English woman who has been travelling down the coast and she isn't enjoying it as much because of the volume of people. She described Makarska as 'Margate'. It looks like the busiest sites seem to be the ACSI card ones. So if anyone knows of any decent priced independent sites that might be quiet let me know. But the place is getting more popular.

Fanzana in the day time whilst we were there was v quiet during day. Could not belueve the difference after 10.30 pm! It wasnt the site or town just offsure couldnt care less about anyone but themselves who were the problem! This is an ACSI site and they allowed this on their prime pitches during this period.

With regard to Brits abroad, we feel like "Johny No Mates' as during our whole 16 days away so far we have seen two GB vans at Fanzana, 1 at Ljubijana, 1 in Austria and none in Germany! Obviously we are going to the wrong places!!
 
We left home at the end of March this year and went through Germany, Austtria, Slovenia and Croatioa, the across to Ancona and up through Italy. One or two Brits at all anywhere unil we got further up Italy on the way home early July.

2 years ago we arrived in Croatia around 22nd September, most of the sites were empty. If not an ACSI site they normally give a 10% discount if you have a camping card, making them no dearer than ACSI. We prefered the smalerl Autocamper Sites usally around £10 a night.

This was our trip.
