The romantic islands of Vis and Korčula

Vis and Korčula are the perfect romantic islands for lovers of picturesque shores, clear waters and pristine beaches. The blue waters surrounding these Croatian islands are perfect for refreshing dives and snorkeling adventures. The nightlife is lively and the local restaurants offer delicious dishes.

The island of Vis

On the south side of the island of Vis, you can anchor ashore in an excellent and sheltered spot and enjoy the peace and quiet. Komiža (on the west side of the island) and the town of Vis (to the east) are very well known in the sailing world and are wonderful places to visit. The bay of Vis is the most sheltered and has many mooring buoys. We recommend the Pizzeria Karijola for dinner, where you can enjoy the perfect thin crust pizza with delicious wine, friendly service and a fantastic view of the bay of Vis.

The beautiful Korčula

Korcula is a relatively large island with several towns, the most famous of which is the town of Korčula. Its picturesque beauty is second to none: The city walls and Venetian architecture are unique and exceptional. Many romantic restaurants and bars are located between the beautiful old buildings. Stroll through the old town and enjoy the fantastic view of the sea and the almost one kilometer high Sveti llija mountain. To taste all the flavors of Croatia and enjoy a romantic evening, we recommend the Fundamentum restaurant.

The romantic Hydra

Hydra is the most famous island in the Saronic Gulf. The island is quite large, but the town of Hydra on the north side of the island has a very cozy atmosphere. If you arrive by sailing boat, you can expect a unique cityscape.

Hydra will make you feel like you are in the real Greece and take you away for a while. The island is a very popular sailing destination, so it is often busy early in the day. However, once you have secured a spot, you can stroll through the island's narrow and picturesque streets. There are many tavernas, bars and nice shops specializing in the production of jewelry.
