One of the furthest islands off the Dalmatian coast, reached by boat from the mainland (although the crossing can be bumpy!). Virtually no tourists, despite its picture postcard Mediterranean beauty. Most of the glamourous but unpretentious visitors arrive on their yachts in the afternoon/evening, hence there aren't many places to stay, but some great (slightly pricey) places to eat (mainly fish restaurants). Pebbly beaches, and crystal clear water.
