PREFACE

Looking down across the islands of Rava and Iž, and towards Zadar on the mainland, from Dugi otok (Walk 16)

I first visited the islands of the Croatian Adriatic back in the late 1990s, having already fallen in love with Croatia (and a Croatian) and moved to Zagreb. Despite countless return visits over the ensuing years, the sense of excitement at first seeing these scattered whalebacks of bare grey-bronze rock and green forest, dotted with exquisitely well-preserved old towns and etched against some of the most brilliant blue seas imaginable, has never really left me.
