June the 8th, 2023 – The British newspaper The Telegraph has ranked two Croatian islands among the most beautiful in the world.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, The Telegraph recently published a list of lesser-known European islands that stand out as paradise destinations. Two Croatian islands were listed among the globe’s most gorgeous – Lopud and Rab.
An island just north of Dubrovnik…
Lopud, one of the famous Elaphite islands just north of Dubrovnik, is described as an island where you can enjoy life entirely undisturbed by traffic and take in its beauty while walking barefoot along the beautiful coastline, writes tportal.
“Situated just an hour’s boat journey from Dubrovnik, you arrive at the enchanting small port of the islet of Lopud, which captivates with its honey-coloured houses bathed in the sun. As soon as the ship leaves the port, you’ll be in the peace of a place where cars aren’t allowed,” describes The Telegraph, before adding:
“A walk across its wooded hinterland brings you to Šunj beach, a crescent of sand and water with a greenish glow, one of the most beautiful in all of Croatia. Next to it are terraces covered with bamboo and a handful of unpretentious bistros along the coast, which serve the freshest lobster for a fraction of the price of other Mediterranean rivieras.”
And one in Northern Dalmatia…
They claim that Rab has the best beaches on the eastern Adriatic coast. The publication also points out that it is mysterious that this, of all the Croatian islands there are to speak of, hasn’t yet become popular.
The Telegraph states that Rab is a town which is a collection of houses and bell towers located on a peninsula. The terracotta roofs are a pleasant contrast to the sea-green Adriatic, while the rest of the island is abundant with evergreen trees and oaks. The greatest attraction of all are the breath-taking beaches of Rab – large, long crescents of pale golden sand that disappear into emerald water.”
The Telegraph also lists beaches in nearby Greece and neighbouring Italy as among the most beautiful.
I have been to Lopud since 2011 several times- 14 times – because this island is the most beautiful place om earth! Now I will come with family of 14 people 1.- 8. July, and again with 4 friends 16.- 26. September!
Lopud – so beautiful, tranquil and interesting.
