Ciovo is not the best place to buy brand clothes and shoes. Of course, you can visit the shops in Trogir but in Split, which is located very close to the coast, there is a lot more choice and better prices. So if you want to buy a handbag from the latest collection from a world-famous designer, then it’s worth to set aside one day for shopping on the mainland of Croatia. However, on Ciovo, you can buy a lot of souvenirs of local production, which will remind you about your trip here for many years. Consider that on the island it is customary to bargain not only at the markets but also at the coastal stores.
Many travelers are convinced that Croatia is a paradise for those who like alcohol. And alcohol is what you should bring home from here. It is understandable: there are almost seven hundred varieties of wines in the local stores, 76 of which are considered elite, so it's worth buying a bottle or two of this grape drink. For those who like something stronger, there are herbal tinctures Sljivovica and Travarica, vodka Lozovac and Maraschino cherry liqueur. From soft drinks, you should pay attention to local coffee – the Croats are very fond of it, and therefore only the best grades are sold in the stores.
