IF you want the Croatia holiday without the crowds, then you need to ditch the popular islands for their quieter neighbours.
One of those is Korčula, right by Hvar and Dubrovnik.
Yet despite being easy to get to – via a short boat from the mainland – it is often overlooked by tourists.
The main place to visit is Korcula Town, nicknamed ‘Little Dubrovnik’.
It’s here where you’ll find the Marco Polo museum, with rumours that the famous figure was born on the island, when it was part of the Republic of Venice in 1254.
Make sure to grab a glass of Grk too – a white wine made on the island that you can’t get anywhere else.
If you love a gimmick, head up the Massimo Bar, which is on the rooftop of a 15th-century turret.
Guests can climb by ladder, before their drinks are served to them byb pulley system.
Otherwise if you are more of a beer fan, pints can be found for under £3.
You might even spot some Moreska, a local sword dance on the island.
But the beaches are also worth a visit, not just for some time to swim.
Earlier this year, loggerhead turtles were spotted hatching on Pržina Beach on the island, before they headed out to see.
Even without the turtle spotting, the beach is one of the largest and most popular on the island, especially families.
And if you want some more of the luxury holiday lifestyle, head over to Korčula’s Vrink islet.
Accessible by water taxi, this is where you spot some of the celebs hanging out.
Everyone from Beyoncé and Jay-Z to Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson have previously been spotted there.
Jet2 has a number of holidays for under £700 each on the island too, which come with seven nights and return flights.
Otherwise you can fly to Dubrovnik for around £15 with Ryanair, followed by a two hour ferry ride to the island.
