Society and way of life
The traditional way of life in Croatia is characterised primarily by community, which is reflected in customs, crafts and folklore, and also in eating habits, with a rich variety of regional cuisines becoming more and more available to foreign guests as part of the range of tourist services. Croatia is particularly proud of its top quality olive oil and selected indigenous wines. The community spirit is also seen in sports and recreation – popular ways of spending leisure time. In this sense, and due to the success of top sportsmen and women, Croatia is considered to be one of the top sporting countries of Europe. Croatian sportspeople have often been high profile representatives of the country; among them are the basketball player Dražen Petrović, the tennis player Goran Ivanišević, the skiers Janica and Ivica Kostelić, and the national water polo, handball and football teams (especially Davor Šuker and Luka Modrić).
