Dimensions 17.2 x 11.6 x 1.5cm From the Kvarner Gulf (south of Rijeka) to
southern Dalmatia (west of Dubrovnik), the Croatian islands feature limestone
ridges and toothy knolls alternating with olive groves and lush green forest,
while coastlines boast sun-drenched beaches and striking cliffs. The islands are
covered by a network of superb hiking trails. Paths are almost uniformly clear
and well marked, and the views are frequently spectacular. The walks cover 14
islands spread fairly evenly along the length of the Croatian coast, visiting
better-known places such as Hvar, Brac and Mljet, as well as less well-known
spots such as Dugi otok and Lastovo. From short coastal strolls to full-day
outings over rocky summits, the walks in this guidebook cover an island chain of
outstanding beauty. While a moderate level of fitness is assumed, the routes
described are in general very easy - none require any scrambling / climbing
skills or equipment, and the amount of ascent, the duration and the distances
involved are moderate. 30 varied walks on 14 beautiful Adriatic islands
