The food in Croatia changed how I think about travel

I travel for food more than anything else, and Croatia shot straight to the top of my culinary travel list. Dalmatian prstaci alone justified the flight, but that was just the beginning. The variety and quality in Zadar is relentless — I didn't have a single disappointing meal in 9 days.

Diocletian's Palace gave context to everything I was tasting. The history and culture feeds into the food in ways you can feel. beautiful walled old towns completed the picture. Already planning a return trip focused entirely on eating my way through a different region.
