Top 4 Islands to Visit on Croatia Walking Tours
Hvar: Arguably the most well known of the Croatian islands, Hvar is a place of pure beauty. And although this sun-soaked island tends to attract the rich and famous, it also has hidden depths that often go undiscovered in favour of its pristine beaches and swanky nightlife. Hiking in Croatia lets you delve a little deeper and explore lesser-known places such as Milna and the hillside village of Malo Grablje. But if you prefer to stay more central, there are plenty of sights to discover in the port town, from the 13th century walls and Renaissance cathedral to its aromatic lavender fields.
Korcula: There’s no doubt Korcula has been placed firmly on the map by its world-famous wineries and vineyards, and each year discerning wine lovers are drawn here. The island is also made up of sleepy hamlets, woodlands and fishing villages that punctuate the coast, and it’s often referred to as ‘Little Dubrovnik’ owing to its medieval walls and vibrant culture. Our hiking tours in Croatia take you on fascinating journeys of discovery through pretty pastures, olive groves and ancient villages, where you can learn more about the history of the island. Visit the oldest village on the island, Pupnat; walk in the footsteps of the Napoleon general, Marmont; and see the unusual rock formations at Kocje Nature Park.
Brac: Laying claim to being the largest island in central Dalmatia, Brac is a stunning destination that attracts more seasoned walkers and a less glamorous crowd than you’d find in Hvar. Brac is home to the tallest mountain on the Adriatic islands and its landscape comprises rugged coastal cliffs, pebbly beaches, vineyards and pine forests. If you’re planning on going walking in Croatia, Brac certainly offers some fabulous hiking trails, and you also have the opportunity to learn about its history too. The island has been inhabited since the Neolithic age and in the 10th century it became a part of the Croatian kingdom of King Tomislav. The Brac Museum has a great collection of ethnographical remains and stones and is a great place for uncovering more of the island’s past.
Mljet: Shrouded in dense forests and lush landscapes, Mljet is one of the most enchanting islands you’ll visit on our Croatia walking holidays. Arrive at the island in style on a catamaran and head to the national park to discover the two impressive salt lakes of Veliko and Malo Jezero. The emerald waters are dazzling and are known for enticing swimmers in for a dip. in the centre of Veliko Jezero stands the islet Melita where a 12th-century Benedictine monastery can be accessed by boat. Throughout the park you’ll find well-marked trails that wind among the island, or you can climb up into the hills that overlook the coast for some spectacular views.

Stephen Hathaway Mont Blanc Hiking HighlightsI did this trip in May, the trip itself was excellant. The accomodation in Chalet Bediere was clean and comfortable and the food supplied by Sandro and Violeter was superb (the evening meals, lunch provisions and afternoon cake). I am an experienced hiker and did not find the walks too challenging.
Catryn Scantlebury Walking in the AzoresVisiting the Azores was honestly unforgettable. The scenery was next-level — black volcanic ash, vibrant green forests, and bright hydrangeas everywhere in July. We saw so many whales and dolphins, all really close to shore because the sea gets so deep so quickly – it’s one of the best places in the world for year-round sightings. And hopping between the islands (they’re only about an hour apart by ferry!) felt like discovering hidden pockets of history — each one had its own personality. We even saw a pod of whales during one of the crossings!
