Croatia
The ferry between Rovinj and Red Island takes you to a beautiful, quiet island, with tree lined beaches. Do beware - some of the beaches are nudist!
For a swim with the locals, try the rocks at the edge of the town walls where you can watch the local kids defy death as they leap from the edge of the town into the clear water below.
Sitting on the cobbled streets drinking 'pivo' from one of the little bars hidden within the maze streets of Rovinji shouldn't be missed.
