Yes, the smell is similar to rotten eggs, but it's not like the sea is polluted, it's Split, especially Diklecian's palace is located on natural sulfur, there are healing baths under the palace, but very few people know that such a place exists, and especially that it is located close to market, so you don't have any intruders like flies, mosquitoes, wasps, bees, etc. Greetings from Split
I'm sorry, but this gentleman or lady has told you a bunch of bs. The Adriatic on the Croatian side is a beautiful sea because the Mediterranean Gulf current that flows along their side of the Adriatic is warm and brings with it many fish and takes the garbage away up to Venice. But Split has a location over a peninsula, and so the garbage gets stuck, plus for centuries the locals just dumped their sewage and garbage into the Adriatic Sea. So because of the inlet, this part of the Adriatic doesn't get as much of the current washing the garbage away as a gift to the Italians. It is then added to by the industry of Northern Italy until it clears and then again gets stuck by the Termoli peninsula. So the region that is best for sea-side vacationing is Makarska Riviera, Neretva-Dubrovnik County, and then Zadar north west, and the islands, and also Montenegro. The Split area is a definite "skip" if you're looking for sea-side relaxation.
You can easily find figs in some US supermarkets, Whole Foods and Costco for example. I even have a plant in my backyard (Indiana). Yes, you eat the skin as well.
you cant compare supermarkets figs from fresh market ones. if you have a tree you know... you cant compare supermarket fig with a fig that you just picked from a tree this morning.
I've been to Split, and I loved it. I loved the city center, the local market, the fruit, and the food. I will definitely go back. Kiss from Portugal ❤️
Thanks so much for watching! We really enjoyed Split as well. Such an awesome vibe right on the Adriatic! Would love to go back! Also hoping to go to Portugal one day 😊
Hello, next trip yoz should come to another part of Croatia, Istra. 👍😀 There you can try one of the best virgin olivr oil, malvazija wine and pasta with truffles.. Fresh yet simple and good 😉...
Those are not baby squids its squid head :) and its not squid ink its cuttlefish ink. Dish is called black risotto and its considered a delicacy all over the Croatian coast.
In Greece one hotel owner brought me a bowl of fresh figs. She told me to peel them like banana, consume them quickly, and to store them maximum for a few days in refrigerator. How many times we later picked and ate them directly from a tree, super delicious!
Hello, your video was on start page when i opened yt today so I decided to watch because of cool thumbnail and I think you are first to mention our drink Pipi, nobody else mentioned it in traveling videos I've watched so far. Thank you for making a positive video about my country. We will have Croatian Kuna till january 2023, after that we are getting Euro with our own Euro coins. In first two weeks of 2023 we will have both Kunas and Euros ongoing, will be able to pay with both but change will be strickly in Euros. First 6 months of 2023, it will be possible to exchange Kuna to Euro in banks and similar free of change, after that still will be possible to exchange but they will have the right to charge a fee.
So glad you enjoyed the video, we really appreciate you checking out our channel! That is very interesting regarding the change to euros, it seems like such a massive change but at least there is a little bit of a grace period. It will be interesting to see how it turns out, we are hoping it works well! We can’t wait to come back to Croatia, we miss it already 😊
Karlovac beer is the Croatian name for Heineken Heineken bought the brewery and to everyone's surprise in Europe, did not shut down the local brand, which is logical because they hold almost half of the beer market in Croatia.
@MaxandSidney it's not bitter like orange skin and other citrus skin, I think I was eating a lemon wedge one day and there was no bin to throw the skin so I ate it and it was ok 😊
We have really great and sweet figs in India. The proper way to eat is wash it ( skin may be contaminated ) , and then open it and see inside. It's important becoz many a times it has small worms. If there is nothing moving inside, put the whole thing in mouth. It's delicious. ❤
The wine thing, I was in Trogir & Split. My entire adult life I never liked wine, I just don't like the taste I've tried many times and just no.. I don't like it. Till I visited Trogir, I was staying with a lovely couple whom made their own white (Pošip) wine. In just a week I drank 4 bottles and I liked it a lot. So even if you don't like wine in general like me, do give it a try in Croatia! It's very different from the wines you find in your local supermarket.
Where are you from? Many people in Oregon grow and eat figs. BTW: My grandmother and her sister as teenage girls carried fruits and produce to that outdoor market from nearby Podstrana before she came to the USA to marry my grandfather.
That’s so cool!! We are from the midwest (Wisconsin and Iowa) good produce in the summer but definitely not in the winter! And somehow we haven’t come across many figs!
Best thing to do is to eat where the locals do. After years of going to Croatia I’d love to head out to where the locals go. Unfortunately tourism is taking over and along with that things change.
your video is so honest and realistic. we are heading there at the end of sept. Did your video get loaded 5 months ago, or did you visit Split in sept.? And what time in sept.?
@@MaxandSidney you got lucky. The Shenzhen immigration rules will have turned the country into a refugee camp and the Euro currency will have doubled the prices already.
Hy from Split. Now we have less paper in hand but lot of coins.Everythings going expensive about 15% we are not hapy but goverment say that will be better for while we will sde haha but its better to have euro no excange more ....and for turist is symple now.
As people mentioned, the Pipi is named for Pippi Longstocking. But they also play on a kind of double-entendre in modern ads. There are t-shirts and maybe even a facebook group for Pipi. And there were great ads in the 80s: th-cam.com/video/oZzwRi7jXsg/w-d-xo.html
@@MaxandSidney I know it's hard to believe but that ad was the most successful attempt at marketing in communist Yugoslavia. The whole country was talking about it.
there is no sap in the fig when its ripe. and i used that white fig sap from leaf to get rid of wart on my palm as a kid. every day coated a wart in that sap and one day wart dried and fell off. never got it back. it was like magic
Fig newtons are made of dried figs, and a dried fig is to a fresh fig what a raisin is to a grape, ie totally different. Fig newton, made by Nabisco, i think, is one of the most natural cookie type products and is totally a great product that can be enjoyed by everyone - in comparison with chocolate chip or oreo or any of those sugar only all processed cookies. Try not to knock down wholesome, old recipe products made in the USA in union factories where people make a decent wage, especially when you havent had them for many years, would you?
I adore fresh figs and I can't stand fig Newtons. I don't think they taste anything like a fig Newton and yes you eat the skin. No I do not eat kiwi skin but I'm sure your intestines are getting a good scrubbing. 😂
All Croatia wines are good. Dingač is the best wine in the world. Pipi means wee. One "pi" could be translated to "drink it". So it means drink it drink it. And also it reffers to children private parts. And yes - wee. And PIPI is just a name. "10kn is acctualy less than a dollar" no. For most of Kuna history, 1$ was 4.4kn. So it was always worth more than 2$. Last year b4 euro inflation hit, and 1$ was 6.6kn Pašticada and mussels was great choice. Probably best dalmatian dish. on 01.01.2023. yes. it was litteraly in one day from kuna to euros. Everything was organized very good so it was smooth transition.
It's not baby squids. 🤣 Calamari are cephalopods, so the ringy things are the bodies, the "Baby Squids" are their heads. 🦑 Oh and you definitely eat the figs with the skin.
Why do americans just travel to europe ,australia and south america and think they are world travellers😅😅😅 I think you guys need to explore 3rd world countries aswell
This is a ridiculous comment 😂 we’ve never even been to Australia or South America! 😂 We travel to places that we are interested in exploring, and Croatia was definitely on that list!

Croatia joined Schengen also the same day it joined the Eurozone
Unfortunately means we can’t stay as long 😌 but hopefully it is a positive change for the country!
did you try rakija? Croatian moon shine slivovitz?
We did have some Slivovitz, it was quite strong 😆
Rakija is actually made from grapes or what remains when you make wine, slivovitz is more Serbian drink made of plums
Croatia is joining the Schengen zone on January 1, 2023. 😎
Very soon! Wow

You eat figs whole,but you always open them with your hands to check for insects
Ooooh, we should have done that I suppose 😅
Figs and Pipi!
So yummy!! 😍🇭🇷😋
@@MaxandSidney fig = smokva
Personally, I would peel the fig as sometimes it has fig "milk" or sap (milky white looking) in the skin esp the stalk which can irritate the skin.
there is no sap in the fig when its ripe.
and i used that white fig sap from leaf to get rid of wart on my palm as a kid.
every day coated a wart in that sap and one day wart dried and fell off.
never got it back.
it was like magic
I'd love to go to Croatia, but they've joined the Euro single currency now 😔 WHY! It will be twice as expensive from now on 😏

If 1 kn = 0,13 usd than 10 kn = 1,30 usd, meaning 10 kn is not less than a dollar.

And we have nice prices for you too,especially when we all know that we work average 700-800 euros per month!😂
u should not eat a fig skin, and yea i tried kiwi with skin but u should peal it like u would peal a potato
