Hotels in Croatian Islands, Croatia

The Croatian Islands line the Adriatic Sea with a Mediterranean climate-think hot, dry summers perfect for sailing between turquoise coves, and mild winters ideal for exploring ancient stone towns like Hvar's 13th-century fortress or Korčula's birthplace of Marco Polo. Summer temps hit 86°F (30°C), so you can swim at Zlatni Rat beach on Brač, while winter's 50°F (10°C) is great for cycling through Vis's sleepy fishing villages. Each island has its own vibe: Hvar buzzes with DJ sets in waterfront bars, while Mljet's national park offers quiet kayaking through saltwater lakes.
