Over a week of island-hopping through the Adriatic, we discovered peaceful harbours, historic towns, and spectacular coastal roads, while learning a little about Croatia — and a little about our own travel style.

Blue hour from Mt Srd, Fort Lovrijenac at dawn, and terracotta rooftops from the city walls — exploring Dubrovnik before a bike and boat trip through the islands.
