Journey through enchanting history and sun-kissed shores of the best Croatian islands on this Mediterranean island hopping tour.
Filled with adventure, ancient discoveries, crystal waters and outstanding cuisine, this 14-night island hopping itinerary makes for the perfect Croatia summer holiday.
Start your journey off with 3 nights in Opatija, the oldest tourist destination in Croatia.
Famous as a luxury villa retreat for the European elite in the 19th century, there are plenty of beaches to navigate, making Opatija the ideal destination for relaxation.
Opatija even has its own ‘Walk of Fame’ honouring the tennis player Goran Ivanišević and Croatian inventor Nikola Tesla.
The popular Krk island will be your next hop.
As one of Croatia’s busier islands Krk is well known for water sporting holidays including parasailing, wake boarding and in contrast has a rich and diverse history steeped in eras of Roman and Italian rule.
Its heritage comes to life with sites of Romanesque churches, walled monasteries, vineyards and quaint fishing villages.
Next, you’ll sail your way to Cres island. Dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries with a past of Venetian rule, Cres Town is reflective of an Italian village.
Be enchanted by the town walls, Venetian Tower, Church of St Mary, and visit sites that date back to the 11th century in the village of Valun.
The north of the island is home to a colony of Eurasian Griffon vultures.
After 2 nights in Cres you head off to the island of Rab which comprises a variety of beaches spanning 22 km.
In the western part of the island you will find cliff-lined beaches, and in the northern part of the island magnificent sandy beaches, perfect for family holidays in Croatia.
The town is also known for its unmistakable clusters of terracotta roofs, soaring church towers and wealth of historical sites with numerous Gothic and Renaissance palaces and churches.
The second-to-last island hop is to Pag island.
Linked to the mainland by a road bridge, Pag island is home to the 15th-century Church of St. George and south of the modern town, Old Town Pag has an archaeological site and the ruins of a Franciscan monastery.
The long rocky desert island is famous for fabulous summer parties and music festivals.
Sail on to your last stop, the island of Zadar, full of cultural and historical heritage as one of the oldest settlements in Croatia.
In Zadar you can wander the streets of marble, enjoy a good party and endless festivals, or take a day trip sailing to quieter beaches on remote islands.
Fifteen days of dreamy summer living could not be spent better than sailing across the Adriatic to glorious islands of sunshine, sandy shores and unending adventures.
