• Respect for Local Traditions:
• Croatians, especially on Hvar, value politeness and respect. Always greet locals with a friendly “dobar dan” (good day) or “bok” (hi).
• Tipping:
• Tipping is appreciated, but not obligatory. In restaurants, it’s common to leave a tip of around 10%, and a small amount for taxi drivers or hotel staff.
Dress Code
• Casual But Modest for Churches:
• While Hvar has a laid-back, beachy vibe, it’s essential to dress appropriately when visiting religious sites like St. Stephen’s Cathedral or monasteries. Modest clothing is expected—covering shoulders and knees.

Local Customs and Behavior
• Punctuality:
• Croatians are generally punctual, and it’s appreciated when visitors are on time for events or reservations.

• While Hvar is a popular destination for couples, be mindful of your public displays of affection, as overly affectionate behavior may still be frowned upon in more traditional settings.
• Saying “No” Politely:
• Croatians may not be as direct as some cultures when it comes to refusing something. They might politely say “maybe” or “we’ll see,” but don’t push if they don’t seem interested.
