There are several companies that handle these cruises and the prices are very competitive. The atmosphere is relaxed, convivial and low-key, making it a perfect family vacation.

Another article in the same issue provides a vivid account of author Paul Kvinta‘s visit to Lastovo, one of Croatia’s most alluring and remote islands. His chosen accommodation was a lighthouse, refurbished and available for weekly rentals. Watch out for pomalo though! Go to article.
