My wife and I saw the program on Channel 4 last week about Croatia, and from what we saw, we loved the place. Although we're both a young yet, we think we'd like to move there when we're a little older. Until then, we'd love to have a holiday home to visit a few times a year, and perhaps rent it out the rest of the time to cover the costs.
They visited a nice looking Island, who's name I can't remember. There seems to be quite a few islands. My wife and I were looking for a three/four bedroom place looking over the sea, with golden beaches within walking distance, but also private swimming pool. Reasonable access (10 mins by car) to the town would also be important. We like either ultra modern new built properties, or very old character properties in a good state of repair. I appreciate this would not be cheap, although to be honest I haven't a clue how much this sort of place would cost, and if it was too much, then we'd have to look at something with a sea view, but perhaps a little further inland. However, what we don't want is something in the centre of a town.
There seems to be flights from the UK to Split, Dubrovnik and Rijeka, all of which have some islands off their coast. We've decided to spend a couple of weeks there this summer, and definitely want an island house.
Our main question, therefore, is which islands should we be looking at, and how long would it take to get to them from the UK? Which islands do most people head for, and which has the largest number of ex-pats resident on it?
Thanks for your help.
