Adriatic Islands

The Adriatic Islands – Croatia’s Island-Hopping Paradise

Few journeys in Europe rival the beauty of travelling along Croatia’s Southern Dalmatian coastline. Whether you arrive by scenic coastal road or glide across the Adriatic by boat, the Croatian islands unfold in a dazzling sequence of turquoise waters, medieval towns, hidden coves and sun-drenched landscapes. Each island has its own character, offering a perfect blend of history, relaxation and authentic Mediterranean charm.

Hvar, often described as the loveliest of the Dalmatian islands, is famed for being Croatia’s sunniest spot, combining elegant Venetian architecture, lavender fields and a vibrant harbour atmosphere. Korčula, with its striking Venetian-style old town rising from the sea, enchants visitors with narrow marble streets and centuries of maritime history. Brač offers traditional stone villages and the iconic Zlatni Rat beach, while the lush, forested island of Mljet is a haven of tranquillity, home to a stunning national park, saltwater lakes and a Benedictine monastery.

Further north lie the more off-the-beaten-track islands of Rab, Krk and Cres, where sandy beaches, Romanesque church towers and quiet fishing villages create a more relaxed pace. In the south, the Elaphiti Islands of Lopud and Šipan offer car-free simplicity, citrus groves and peaceful seaside charm. For something truly unique, consider Vis — once closed to visitors during the Cold War as a secret naval base. Today it is one of the Adriatic’s most unspoilt islands and the gateway to boat excursions to the spectacular Blue Cave on nearby Biševo.

Our holidays to the Adriatic Islands range from relaxed stays on a single island to tailor-made fly-drive and island-hopping itineraries. Explore at your own pace by car using the scheduled ferry network, or enjoy seamless travel between islands aboard fast passenger catamarans. We carefully plan the most efficient routes and can pre-book ferry or catamaran tickets to ensure smooth connections, allowing you to focus on swimming in crystal-clear waters, wandering medieval towns and savouring fresh seafood by the sea.

From vibrant harbour towns to secluded coves, from national parks to historic citadels, Croatia’s Adriatic Islands offer an unforgettable Mediterranean escape.

We look forward to being of service.
