British travelers are raving about two specific Croatian islands for their next getaway. A reader named Elaine loved Silba, a car-free island in the Zadar archipelago known for olive groves and pebble coves. She recommended climbing the historic Toreta tower for sunset views and swimming at Šotorišće beach.
Another reader, Mark, picked the forested island of Mljet near Dubrovnik. He praised its pine forests, turquoise bays, and the islet of St. Mary with its Benedictine monastery. Activities there include kayaking and hiking through Mljet National Park.
Silba features charming old captain's houses and a romantic stone tower. Mljet is considered one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic. Visitors to Mljet can also explore the legendary Odysseus Cave on the southern coast.
Both locations are highlighted for their untouched nature and escape from crowded tourist spots. The recommendations emphasize peaceful atmospheres and clear waters ideal for snorkeling. Travelers are advised to plan ferry trips in advance for these popular island destinations.
