Brijuni - one of world's sexiest Islands Travel Feature World's Sexiest Islands Christina Valhouli www.FORBES.com
The Adriatic Coast of Croatia is fast becoming one of the most popular sailing routes in Europe. The islands offer everything the Southern Mediterranean does--balmy weather, great food and beaches--but without the crowds. Any sailing trip must include a stop at the Brijuni Islands (also known as the Brioni Islands), the former summer residences of President Tito, which have only recently been open to the public. Prince Ernst of Hanover is rumored to have invested here, and Sharon Stone and Clint Eastwood have visited. The Brijuni archipelago boasts a national park, archaeological sites dating back to prehistoric times and gorgeous beaches. The largest island, Veli Brijun, has a safari park with zebra and camels. The best way to visit the Brijuni Islands is by chartered yacht, or you could try the Hotel Neptun, where rates start at 102 euros ($122).
