Author recommends Croatian islands

22 May 2008

A range of activities can be enjoyed on the Croatian islands, it has been reported.

Jane Foster, author of the Footprint Croatian Handbook, has compiled a list of the top ten islands in the country for the Guardian.

Her recommendations include Hvar, which is said to be ideal for celebrity spotting, and Rab, a popular destination because of its nudist beaches.

Ms Foster said the country's islands offer everything from isolated beaches to 24-hour parties.

She added: "You can bed down in a boutique hotel or a back-to-basics cottage [with] no running water [and] no mains electricity, depending on your pain threshold.

"It's also outside the eurozone so your holiday cash will go a bit further."

Recently, Hvar was recommended as an ideal spot for holidaying families.

The New York Times reported the island is popular because of its quiet atmosphere and Venetian architecture.

A small port, Jelsa, can also be explored on the southern coast of the island.
