1. Hvar – The Island of Sun, Style, and Lavender
Hvar is often called the “Ibiza of Croatia” – and for good reason.
As soon as you arrive in Hvar Town, you’ll feel the vibrant, glamorous energy where modern luxury meets ancient charm. But don’t rush. Beyond the chic bars and lively nightlife lies a completely different side of Hvar.
Rent a bike and explore the UNESCO-protected Stari Grad Plain, where the ancient Greeks once cultivated vineyards and olive groves still thriving after more than 2,000 years.
Sail to Jelsa or Vrboska to see mesmerizing lavender fields in bloom. It’s the perfect destination for those who want to combine elegant relaxation with natural beauty.
Tip: Stop by a local restaurant and enjoy freshly caught seafood – the perfect way to end your day in Hvar.
2. Vis – The Silver-Screen Legend
Vis feels like stepping onto a Hollywood movie set – literally.
It’s where Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again was filmed, and once you see Stiniva Beach, you’ll understand why. Hidden within steep cliffs, the beach forms a natural amphitheater with a narrow entrance to the sea. Smooth stones and crystal-clear waters make it impossible to resist a swim.
Vis has a long and fascinating history. Once a military base, it was closed to visitors for decades, preserving its authenticity and untouched charm. Today, it’s a paradise for explorers. Rent a kayak or paddleboard to discover caves and hidden coves along the coastline.
Tip: Visit Stiniva early in the morning before the crowds arrive – it’s an unforgettable experience.
3. Korčula – A Treasure of Wine, History, and Culture
Often called a “mini Dubrovnik,” Korčula deserves to stand on its own.
Its old town charms visitors with medieval architecture and narrow cobbled streets, yet it feels far more authentic and peaceful. Life here moves at a slow, soothing pace.
But Korčula isn’t just about history – it’s heaven for wine lovers.
On the Lumbarda peninsula, the rare Grk grape grows, producing a unique white wine found nowhere else in the world. Visit a family-run winery, enjoy a tasting, and lose yourself in the island’s rich aromas and flavors.
Tip: Sip Grk wine as the sun sets – it’s pure magic.
4. Rab – The Island of Golden Sand
While Croatia is famous for its pebbly beaches, Rab is a delightful exception.
Here you’ll find sandy shores rare for the Adriatic. On the northern part of the island, Lopar Peninsula is a family paradise, home to the 1.5 km-long Rajska Plaža (“Paradise Beach”) with shallow, calm waters.
For those seeking solitude, Rab also offers wild, secluded spots like Sahara Beach, accessible only on foot. The old town of Rab is distinguished by its four bell towers, while its narrow stone streets invite quiet evening walks.
Tip: Traveling with kids? Paradise Beach truly lives up to its name.
5. Brač – The Perfect Postcard
If you’ve seen a Croatian tourism poster, chances are it featured Zlatni Rat Beach.
This golden horn of sand changes shape with the wind and tides – a natural wonder and one of Croatia’s most iconic sights.
Brač is ideal for water-sport enthusiasts, especially kitesurfers.
But if you prefer peace, head to quieter beaches like Murvica or Babin Laz. For adventure lovers, hike up Vidova Gora, the highest peak of the Adriatic islands, for breathtaking panoramic views.
Tip: While Zlatni Rat is spectacular, venture off to discover smaller, hidden beaches for true tranquility.
6. Krk – Where History Meets Wine
Reaching Krk couldn’t be easier – it’s connected to the mainland by a bridge.
One of Croatia’s largest islands, Krk offers diverse experiences for every traveler. Baška Beach is a family favorite, filled with water sports and cozy seaside cafés.
Stroll through the marble streets of Krk Town, surrounded by medieval walls, and immerse yourself in centuries of history.
Wine lovers should visit the charming village of Vrbnik, known for its local Žlahtina wine. And don’t miss Klancic Street – at only 40 cm wide, it’s considered one of the narrowest streets in the world (best avoided after a hearty meal!).
Tip: Krk is perfect for families who want an easily accessible island with plenty to explore.
