Note: LPG tanks are commonly utilized as a convenient source of gas for cooking and heating throughout Croatia, especially on the islands. In larger towns some range-ovens and bathroom water heaters may be connected to portable LPG tanks. LPG vendor outlets can be found in virtually every town. LPG vendors also frequent most city neighborhoods on a regular basis and will exchange your empty tank for a fee. They can also be contacted by telephone.

Water

Tap water is considered safe to drink throughout Croatia, although some areas (Zagreb in particular) may have a high mineral content. Bottled water for drinking is widely available.

Note: some islands off the coast may only have well water, spring water or collected rainfall as a water source.
