Sea kayaking the Elaphiti Islands, Croatia

Happens around Elaphiti Islands, Croatia — nearest airport Dubrovnik (DBV), about 36km away.

The experience

From Dubrovnik, day trips round Lokrum's cliffs and caves; multi-day trips island-hop the Elaphitis, with luggage transferred and dinner waiting. The Adriatic in June is calm, warm and absurdly clear. Sore shoulders on day one, quiet smugness thereafter.
