Necktie (Kravata) – Nothing speaks professionalism and business that this cloth attire that goes along with most suits. The necktie originated from Croatia mercenaries that served the French back in the 17th century.

Parachute (Padobran) – Made by a Croatian inventor by the name of Faust Vrančić. He was the first to incorporate Leonardo Da Vinci‘s idea of a parachute by using fabric over a wooden frame. But it’s a mystery if he was brave enough to jump with it on.

Torpedo (The thing goes BOOM!) – You’ll have to thank Croatia for these water based weapons. Designed and created by Ivan Blaž Lupis that was born in Croatia. Ivan suggesting this weapon device to Austrian technician committee and was turned down, saying the product would cost too much and was rather unorthodox. But Ivan didn’t let his idea die down as he established a contract with “Lupis“, a factory in Rijeka where he mass manufactured torpedos. Becoming the most used weapon in Submarines, the devastating power being quite useful to destroy enemy ships and other submarines.

Pršut (Prosciutto) – Whilst Prosciutto isn’t only specific to Croatia, most locals always talk about knowing a person that makes the best Prosciutto. Safe to say you’ll have difficulty exploring Croatia without hearing about this delicacy being mentioned by the locals.

Nikola Tesla – Widely regarded as the true father of electricity (Sorry Thomas Edison). Nikola Tesla was a serbian-american born in Smiljan, present day Croatia territory. The man being a blatant genius as he went on to create several ingenious inventions and discoveries like: Alternating current, Tesla coils, X-ray photography and many more inventions that are in the present day. Whilst it’s true that Nikola Tesla was considered “strange”, having a preference to keep to a schedule for eating and having his meals served by a particular waiter; he was also a germaphobe.

The culture of Croatia

Croatia has deep roots in being a Christian country. Most of the older generation having strong beliefs, especially in villages and rural areas. When exploring the various cities/towns that litter the country you’ll soon notice Roman influence, due to several dozen historical monuments and churches that have withstood the test of time. Some locations like Krka Waterfalls having several historic remains scattered across it. The National park easily accessible from Split with a tour or simply going there solo with a transfer. The tour is well worth the trip so we highly urge you to experience the colourful flora of Krka Waterfalls at least once.

The people of Croatia are proud of their culture, whilst they might have a bit of a love-hate relationship with their neighbouring countries due to having opposite views during the old times when they made up a much larger country of Yugoslavia, the countries still get along well in recent years. Croatia also has a love for the sea, seeing as how most citizens, particularly from Dalmatia incorporate eating fish at least once a week. You’ll just might get a chance to taste some of the famous fish on a Krka tour from Split. So if you ever get a chance to come and visit this country, we strongly recommend you enjoy yourselves. 🙂
