    croatian islands
    I am going interrailing with girlfriend this summer and planning to end our travels with 5-7 days on the croatian coast, I was therefore wondering if anyone had been to any of these islands and therefore which they would recommend!

    Thanks!

    Hi

    I have been to a few small islands near Dubrovnik for day trips, and loved them!

    The Elaphiti islands (Sipan/Lopud/Kolocep) had small harbours and were very peaceful, even in summer but did have a few hotels, cafés, souvenir shops etc. from what I remember.

    Lokrum was great for swimming, and a great getaway from the crowds of Dubrovnik. It was very small and had a fort on the hill. You can hear a lot of crickets there!

    I heard Mljet was good but I haven't been there.

    I'm not sure about the bigger ones up the rest of the Croatian coast but they're probably great!

    Absolutely stunning part of Europe. Maybe a bit quiet if you fancy hitting the town at night though.

    Big problem is getting there quickly as the train connections to Croatia are a nightmare at the best of times.

    ive been sailing around the croatian islands starting in split, split is really lovely and definitely worth a visit. if they do any boat trips out to Mljet it is stunning!! however if you want to be a bit further north the beach parties in Pag are amazing!
    hope you have an amazing time!
