"The Elafiti islands are popular with Dubrovnik’s elite but development remains low-key. Famed for its sandy beaches – a rarity in Croatia – tiny Lopud has just one settlement and is car-free. Snorkelling, sea kayaking and sunbathing (swimming costume optional) are the main activities but if you need a shopping or nightlife fix, Dubrovnik is an hour away. For accomodation, the FT recommends La Villa, a six-bedroom guesthouse in a 16th-century building overlooking the turquoise waters of the Adriatic. Doubles from €70 a night." [FT] Learn about other cool, low-key European-island hideaways in the attached FT review.

"[In Hvar], the fresh seafood options are endless but Restaurant Bounty, near the entrance to the Old Town and along the harbour, is a must. Always packed, stay near and you’ll eventually snag a table outside. Try the selection of fresh white fish (tip: it’s priced by the kg so ask for smaller portions) and the seafood spaghetti is divine."

A good dinner spot in Hvar, located among the touristy restaurants on the steep lanes leading toward the Spanish fortress.

Excellent seafood restaurant with a palm-shaded terrace on the waterfront in Kut. Bazaar suggests the fish soup and squid risotto. The magazine mentions "Vis is an exclusive hangout for publicity-shy celebrities and the most extravagant yacht owners." Seems a little like Capri in character.
