Overview
Spring and autumn are the seasons when Croatia's islands are at their most beautiful. From May to June and from September to October the sea is still warm, the lanes are empty and ferries run without crowds. Hvar is a good example: lavender fields on the hills, the stone old town by the harbour and the offshore Pakleni Islands, which you reach by boat and where you can sunbathe alone on a rock slab. Couples find retreats here for evenings with wine and the sound of the sea, families short distances and many shallow bathing bays.
The Stari Grad Plain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is suited to cycling tours between olive groves and vineyards. Practical: Swiss guests need no visa, Croatia belongs to the Schengen area. The entry requirements of the FDFA (EDA) are authoritative, and you should check them before booking. The flight time is about 1.5 hrs, so the country is close.
Cards are accepted in towns and tourist areas, tipping in restaurants is customary but not compulsory. You plan your chosen bay and the right ferry best in a video call with Island Escapes.
