Hi Jolly,
Regarding your prerequisites I would highly recommend island Vis, that is accessible via ferry from town Split that is on mainland. It is small island with 2 main towns – Vis and Komiza. Komiza is smaller place and maybe more interesting for you. Fairy from Split comes to town Vis, from where u can get bus to Komiza (takes like 20 minutes to get there). Prices of accommodation there are reasonably cheap, and whole island have some of nicest beaches in Croatia. I would also recommend that you visit even smaller island called Bisevo which is across town Komiza. U can get there by boat that runs from Komiza there and back every day. On Bisevo you can visit famous Blue cave, and find some very nice beaches. Vis is small island so you can explore much of it. I don’t know if you go with car, which would be convenient on Vis because you can go to some hidden beaches that are not near these 2 towns. If not I recommend that u rent a car or scooter for at least one day at Vis so that you can check whole island. For eating you don’t have to worry because there are lot of nice restaurants with domestic food there. I can recommend you restaurants “Bako” and “Jastozera” in town Komiza, and “Villa Kaliopa” in town Vis, but you should also try to go to some sort of domestic restaurant named Roki, which is not close to Vis towns but can arrange free transport for you if you make reservation. I think his phone number is 00 385 21 714 004, but if not I m sure that you can easily find some flyer for his restaurant on island Vis. Hope I helped you with this, and if you need some more information I suggest that you check my web page croatia-expert.com on which you can find even more info on subject.
Good luck and have a nice vacation in Croatia!

I am going to Croatia in July - I will be traveling by ferry from Dubrovnik to Korcula, then Korcula to Hvar, then Hvar to Split over several days. I do not have a car but I hear the queue for the ferry line can be quite long during summer. Can I just walk up without the reservation for ferry if I am just traveling alone with a backpack? Much thanks.

Hi Mora,

Yes, you can just walk up, no need to wait in any line. Line is only for cars.

Hope you`ll have fun in Croatia!

Hej!

Jag åker till Dubrovnik på torsdag den 2a juli men oroar mig över väderprognoserna som visar regn. Hur ÄR egentligen vädret i dessa trakter under juli månad? Förekommer det mycket regn? Mycket tacksam för svar!!

Hej Maria

Normalt er næsten igen regn I Juli måned, vejret I Juni har været meget
dårligt, men jeg er sikker på at vi I Juli får de normal 25-35 og solskin,
så du kan godt pakke strand tøjet og solcremen

Mvh
