An interesting article was published recently by CNN about unusual island hopping in Croatia. Under the title ” Island hopping off your own steam” , the CNN writer Julie Clothier writes about small UK company “SwimTrek” that runs swimming holidays in Sibenik Archipelago. This is an excerpt from the article:

Imagine a holiday where you come home with not only a tan, but also an enormous sense of achievement.

Each island has its own character and feel and the hospitality of the locals is second to none. Later in the week, we swim around the barren lunar landscape of the Kornati National Park. Infested with caves, grottoes dramatic cliffs and startling rock formations, the islands are quite simply outstanding…..More about SwimTrek holiday in Croatia
