The
Dalmatia Islands lie in the Adriatic off the western
coast of Croatia, opposite Italy. Real estate in the

Korcula, Hvar, Vis and Kvarner.
With over 1,100
islands in this Adriatic archipelago, many islands
can afford the savvy buyer some unique
investment opportunities when looking for a cottage,

About
the Dalmatia Islands
|
 |
 |
| |
Hvar lies east-west and belongs to the
central island group of the Adriatic.
With the Island of Hvar just about
3 miles from the mainland, the
early signs of tourism on the Island
reach far back into history, and
can be seen by the remains of rustic
villas (farm buildings and country
houses) all over Hvar's Agar (valley).
The mountain chain running along
the middle of the island divides
it into north and south, with outstanding
peaks such as: Cernica, Hum, Gvozd
and Sveti Nikola.
Apart from tourism, wine, lavender
and honey have long been the main
peasants' produce in Hvar. Wine
from Hvar and other Dalmatian areas
were successfully exported to France
and then Hungary from 1870 until
1894. The flat part of the island
between Stari Grad, Vrboska and
Jelsa is today under vineyards
which produce up to 50,000 hectoliters
of wine per year.
The Island of Krk is connected
with the mainland by a bridge and
its passenger ship terminal provides
daily connections to Greece and
the rest of Dalmatia. Don’t
miss the town of Baska toward the
south-east of the island, much
sought after by tourists because
of its long sandy beaches that
descend gradually into the Adriatic.
Brac is the largest island of
the middle Dalmatian group of islands
and third largest among the Adriatic
Sea. With its long, sandy beaches
surrounded by pine forests, Brac
has been a popular holiday resort
for a long time. Try places like
Bol for an active sun, surf, hiking
or climbing holiday, or discover
one of the many picturesque villages
that provide a more peaceful holiday
setting.
The island Vis is the most distant
of the larger islands in the group
of middle Dalmatia and is situated
45 km from the main land. Visitors
are not disappointed by its secluded
beaches on numerous peaceful bays
and a transparent blue sea. Pass
your time in the historic ambience
of medieval cities of Vis and Komiža.
Diving enthusiasts can spend many
exciting hours exploring the local
sunken boats. Visitors can also
hire a sail boat to easily reach
the island Biševo and its
famous Blue Cave. Around 20% of
arable land on the island is covered
with vineyards and with its sandy
island soil, the Vis vineyards
are among best in Dalmatia.
