currency in Croatia

I'm off to Croatia next week and wondered about the currency. Should I only take the local currency Kuna or do some places prefer Euros ?

It hadn't occured to me NOT to take Kuna, but a couple of websites are suggesting that in some areas Euros are preferred.

    You can always pay in Kuna. Some places, but not all, will also accept euros.

    It will be cheaper for yourself to use Kuna

    I would imagine Euros are only "preferred" where they rip you off on the exchange rate!

    We used Kuna , but Euro's could be used everywhere and it seemed preferred . We took a trip to Mostar ( Bosnia ) and they only wanted euros there
