Island hopping in Croatia is a dream! 


Is there a better way to spend your days than swimming in crystal-clear water, sipping an ice-cold drink with your toes in the sand and finishing the day with fresh seafood? Probably not!

Continue this dreamy lifestyle as you jump from the island of Korcula to Pomena on Mljet.
