Lopud, Croatia
Croatia is awash with minute, barely populated islands but Lopud, one of the Elafiti islands, with its handful of bars, shops and restaurants and a couple of hotels, is one of the most charming. There are no cars on the island, hand-pulled wooden carts being the preferred form of transportation. Unusually for Croatia, Lopud has sandy beaches, the largest of which is Sunj, reached by boat or forest path.
Who goes: Croatians, increasing numbers of French
Getting there: Fly to Dubrovnik, 45-minute ferry to Lopud.
