Some well know customs in Croatia are for sure Croatian songs, actually Croatian folklore and their clothes.
Also Croatian holiday traditions are really well known. They go to church at 12.00 am , at midnight on Christmas Eve, celebrate Christmas with families, eating a turkey is usually the lunch they eat. On Christmas eve they eat fish (well it's not allowed to eat meat).
On Easter they have big family lunch and eat home cooked ham with lots of other stuff. So you can say that most of their customs is food. Haha!
During summer it is tradition to go to Adriatic sea for couple of weeks ( if you aren't living on the coast), Dubrovnik is the most touristic place.
In Slavonija and Baranja ( eastern part of Croatia) are two big cities. Osijek and Vukovar. In November people go to Vukovar to see and to give support for all the people who died during Croatian war with Serbia.
There is a lot of well known customs in Croatia but these are most important for Croatian people. And I would know that since I'm Croatian. =)
