The Mediterranean offers breathtaking coastlines, clear water and food traditions built on fresh fish, olive oil and vegetables. Even so, cross-contact in Greek tavernas and Croatian seaside konobas takes careful planning.

This guide highlights celiac-friendly wellness hotels across the Adriatic, the Greek islands and the Alps, including Croatia's Vitality Hotel Punta, which is certified gluten-free friendly according to the hotel and Croatian press.

An earlier draft of this page also listed Villa Kalliste in Kefalonia as a dedicated gluten-free yoga villa. We couldn't confirm the property or how its kitchen works, and the draft itself said it was gluten-free only during retreat weeks, so we've left it out until we can.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Croatia easy to navigate with celiac disease?

It's getting easier, especially at certified gluten-free friendly hotels like Vitality Hotel Punta. Elsewhere, ask about flour dusted on grilled fish and shared fryers, and carry a celiac card in Croatian.
