A seven-day journey through the northern Croatian islands, from Krk and Cres, via the fragrant Lošinj, to Rab and the bare, stony Pag. The route connects the islands by ferry and car, linking old towns shaped by Venetian influence, captains' houses, forest parks, and some of the most beautiful beaches in the Kvarner Gulf. Enough time for each island, without rushing — ideal from spring through autumn.
