Lastovo
Somewhat unsurprisingly, Croatia is a favourite for foodies, especially those looking for the tastes of the sea.
If shellfish is your thing, then look no further than Lastovo. Lobsters, oysters, clams and even more unfamiliar crustaceans can be found in the taverns across the island coastline, all served in traditional Serbo-Croatian styles.
Encircled by a 46-islet archipelago, it might be the smallest of our recommended islands, but this southern Adriatic spot is certainly not short on life. Wash down the seafood with local wine, a ramble through the Renaissance-era architecture and, if you happen to be visiting in the spring, you can experience the dancing delights of the traditional Croatian carnival, Lastovo Poklad.
