A day at sea between two of Croatia's most beautiful islands.

A fish picnic is a Dalmatian classic: a relaxed boat trip with swimming stops in clear bays and a lunch of freshly grilled fish.

From Podgora the boat heads across the channel to Brač and Hvar. Brač is known for its white stone and for Zlatni Rat in Bol, a pebble beach whose tip changes shape with the wind and currents. Hvar, often called the sunniest island in Croatia, charms with lavender fields, vineyards and old stone harbour towns.

Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a hat. The exact route depends on the weather and the sea on the day.
