3 Best Shopping in Istria, Croatia

A curated collection of designer home accessories from architect and interior designers Ana Visković and Bernard and Sara Domniku is sold in this petite-but-stylish boutique. It sits right below their design studio and offices, all of which offer locally made hand-crafted decorative pieces that double as wonderful take-home souvenirs.

The Salvi family offers an intoxicating array of unique perfumes, sachets, bath gels, lotions, soaps, diffusers, cotton throws, silk wraps, and home fragrances under their Profumo di Rovigno brand. All products at their tiny store on the main shopping street are inspired by the flora and fauna in the hills around Rovinj, including wild sage, lavender, roses, lemon balm, and other herbals. All are beautifully packaged in elegant bottles and boxes, perfect to bring home as gifts or mementos of your trip.

Join locals at the Tržnica as they stock up on their daily fresh produce, locally sourced meats, fresh-caught fish, and domestic cheeses. Although open most of the day, it's best to experience the market like the locals do, early in the morning. A couple of highlights include the Jelenic charcuterie, which offers homemade traditional Istrian cured meats like cooked ham, prosciutto, and sausages, as well as Kumparicka Dairy, which produces unpasteurized, fresh, and aged (up to 30 months) goat cheeses.
