January the 9th, 2025 – The Telegraph, one of the most read British newspapers, has listed the Croatian islands to visit in 2025. It has even ranked them from 1-10.
As Morski writes, it’s absolutely no secret that plenty of international publications and newspapers frequently display their infatuation with Croatia. The Telegraph is no stranger to an article dedicated to the country, particularly the coastline and the endless Croatian islands.
Every now and then another brand new list comes out in which The Telegraph and indeed others express their sheer delight with everything that Croats often take for granted, and the jaw-dropping Croatian islands are no exception.
In tenth place on The Telegraph’s latest list is the amazing Dugi Otok, Croatia’s own “Long island” and the most remote island of the sprawling Zadar archipelago. Of the things to see on Dugi Otok according to The Telegraph is Saharun/Sakarun Beach and the incredible Telašćica Nature Park.
After Dugi Otok comes beautiful Cres, Croatia’s largest island. The Telegraph writers describe this Kvarner island as having perfectly preserved its “wild heart”. It adds the Cres offers a lot to people who like a slightly “rougher” style of holiday. Of course, they mention the famous griffon vultures and their home on the island that should absolutely not be missed.
After Cres comes the island with no vowels, Krk.
In seventh place according to The Telegraph is Mljet, the greenest of all Croatian islands, after which comes Vis. Vis is particularly interesting to The Telegraph because it was under British rule for five short years back during the 19th century. Owing to that, the writers comment that this is why the islanders love cricket. That claim about cricket should definitely be checked for authenticity, but that’s another article entirely.
After Vis came the moon-like island famed for its lace and cheese – Pag. Pag’s utterly bizarre yet magical landscape is adored by photographers from all over the world, and it doesn’t go without a mention from The Telegraph as they spotlight the diversity of the many Croatian islands.
In fourth place comes the country’s so-called “happy island” of Rab, where the writers were particularly impressed by the sandy beaches situated in the northern part of the island.
In third place is the tallest island of all, central Dalmatia’s island of Brač. In second place is Marco Polo’s alleged home island of Korčula, and in first place is rather unsurprisingly Croatia’s “premier island” of Hvar.
