Destination: Dalmatia

You're on the wrong Long Island if you're looking to holiday in the Hamptons, but you could do a lot worse than this Dalmatian vacation location. Dugi Otok, meaning 'long island' in Croatian, shares some similarities with its name equivalent in New York: Beautiful beaches, a boating culture, and an oft-overlooked wine industry. And if you're also looking to explore rugged reaches of forest bounded by cliffside sea views, this outpost of the Adriatic is the clear choice.
World's best beach?
Busy lake, silent island
Peninsular patchwork
