Creveni Otok /Red Island
by Ekaterinburg
Only a quick ferry-ride off the beaten path, Red Island is an absolute must-visit on a trip to Rovinj. There is a large hotel on the island, the Hotel Istra but if you ignore that and veer left on landing it's another world. A wide stone path lined with columns leads up through the trees and you get the feeing that you're headed for a Greek or Roman temple. It's actually just the remains of a castle and Benedictine monastery but it's absolutely perfect. Lots of Cypress trees here as well as other Mediterranean vegetation, beds of lavender and a jumble of overgrown shrubs. At the top of the steps you look back at the sea and feel grateful to be in such a beautiful place. Beyond the Istra a causeway connects Red Island to the densely wooded Island of Sveti Andreij. Over here you can really be on your own and if you want to have the world to yourself , once you keep away from the parts used a naturist resort , it seems quite possible.Leaving Creveni Otok, guarded by its majestic stone lion, you promise yourself you'll come back. A promise I sincerely intend keeping.
The ferry to Red Island leaves the dock in Rovinj at regular intervals. Just go along and wait for the next one.

Worth checking are: Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Conference & Spa- a luxury spa hotel in Hvar or Spalmaris Spa, Hotel Podstine, also Hvar. In the North: Hotel Istra- a luxury spa hotel, St. Andrews Island, Rovinj. They have good reviews.
