After a few days in Dubrovnik we travelled North up
the Croatian coast visiting some beautiful islands.
The defensive walls at Ston to protect the
peninsula
 Roman palace on the island of Mjlet
 Korcula, a small town that rivals Dubrovnik in
beauty.
 Marco Polo's tower in Korcula. He was reputedly
born here.
 Sword dance in Korcula, commemorating a victory
over pirates.
 Korcula town sits on a small island just off the
coast of Korcula island
   Hotel at Vis on the island of Vis
 Anchored off the church at Vis
 In the back streest of Starigrad on the island of
Hvar. Starigrad was founded by Greeks
from the island of Paros in
300BC
 An old tower converted into holiday
apartments
 The lion of St Mark, the Venetian symbol, in
Hvar
 Hvar waterfront with the Venetian castle
behind
 Sun clock on Hvar...not adjusted for summer
time! But otherwise correct to the minute
 We hired a scooter to get from Starigrad to Hvar
and back.
