I've done a tour of the southern islands in Croatia -- absolutely beautiful.
We stayed on a boat and cycled during the day. The group I went with is
http://www.island-hopping.de/. They are a German company, but they do
English as well, and I highly recommend both them and the tour. They only do
the tour in Spring and Fall, because high summer is too hot. If you do it,
combine it with a trip to Dubrovnik -- you can't miss it if you're that
close. Feel free to write with questions.
