The island is a true natural beauty that has inspired countless artists. Rajska, one of the most popular beaches on the island, is highly recommended for those who love long sandy walks along the coast.
Vis
Vis is one of the most overlooked, as well as the remotest and least-inhabited of all the Dalmatian islands. Over the years, Vis has managed to retain its original charm and has resisted over development. It is also home to some of the most beautiful beaches around. The best way to experience all this island has to offer is with a yacht charter. By boat, you can visit stunning hidden coves that are inaccessible by land, as well as the old harbour and even the famous Bisevo Island.
Korčula
Although this is the second most populous island among the Croatian islands of the Adriatic Sea, Korčula is known for being exceptionally quiet and peaceful. Historical sites of ancient Greek and Venetian civilizations still remain to this day. According to legend, this island was the birthplace of Marco Polo. If you want to experience the island through the eyes of the locals, the charming little fishing villages, Vrnik Beach and Pupnatska Luka Cove are the insider spots to visit. One of the most enticing facets of the island is without a doubt its vineyards. Make sure to try the famous Grk wine at Lumbarda Beach.
Brač
Although windier, Brač is known to be quieter than the Hvar and Korčula islands. As a result, this island is particularly popular among windsurfers and paragliders. What’s more, one of the most popular beaches of Croatia, Zlatni Rat, is located here on this island. If you are looking for a good time, add this island to your sailing route, the clear waters and the vivid marine life of Brač are guaranteed to mesmerize you!
