A Croatian island getaway

Bag a bargain in June to the island of Kolocep – a tiny haven of sub-tropical vegetation in the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic – courtesy of market leader to Croatia, Holiday Options.

This traffic-free island – seven kilometres from Dubrovnik and reached by a daily boat service – has only 200 local inhabitants and has just one hotel, the three-star Hotel Villas Kolocep, close to the quaint fishing village of Donje Celo.

It’s the ideal place to chill and re-charge batteries, with relaxing in the sunshine, cycling and walking being the order of the day.

As an example of revised prices at the Hotel Villas Kolocep, a seven-night holiday departing Gatwick on 7 or 14 June now costs £425 and £435 per person (twin share) respectively – a reduction of £139 – inclusive of return flights, transfers and accommodation with breakfast.

Departures are also available from Birmingham, Exeter, Southampton and Belfast, supplements may apply.

Hotel facilities – where each room has its own computer with free internet access – include large pool, cycle hire, tennis, boules, sailing and canoeing, along with excursions to the other islands in the group.
