Relish Island Hopping in Europe

With countless islands to choose from, Europe is the best place to enjoy an island-hopping experience like no other.

From long sandy beaches to secret rocky coves and from quaint fishing villages where life goes slowly by to grand luxury resorts that scream relaxation and pampering, the best islands in Europe have something for everyone.

So Many Islands, So Little Time?

Europe has no shortage of spectacular islands with beautiful architecture, unique traditions, and – of course – glistening beaches. To make the most of an island vacation in Europe and have a taste of the remarkable diversity of European islands, it’s best to visit more than one island on your trip. Each with its own vibe, the islands you choose to visit will add a special touch to your itinerary. The best way to get from one island to the next is the local ferry as it allows you to sit back and take in breathtaking sea views while living an authentic experience like a local. Instead of going on a multi-day sailing trip, benefit from staying in utterly comfortable, spacious, and stylish accommodations on each island and dining in top-quality restaurants that serve freshly made local food.    

Indulge in The Magic of The Greek Islands

Without a doubt, Greece is the top destination for the island-hopping adventure of a lifetime. Whether you’re after a luxury vacation in bucket-list Santorini and Mykonos or a journey to savor the Aegean Sea’s more quiet gems in the Cyclades, such as Milos and Naxos, the Greek Islands provide the perfect canvas for you to paint the island vacation of your dreams in dazzling white and relaxing blue.

Discover Croatia’s Island Paradise

For island-hopping enthusiasts, Croatia won’t disappoint. Hundreds of islands are to be found off the stunning Dalmatian Coast, and even if it’s impossible to visit all of them, combining two or three among them is enough to make you fall in love with their charms. We focus on the most interesting, beautiful, and historic of them so you don’t need to worry about making the wrong choice. From remote Vis and Mljet to Hvar – the so-called Queen of the Croatian Dalmatian Islands – to unspoiled Brac to picturesque Korcula, you can mix and match as many islands as your schedule allows to create the most memorable island experience in Croatia.

Live La Dolce Vita on Italy’s Cosmopolitan Islands

Alongside all its other charms, Italy has its fair share of lovely islands, too. One of the most famous among them is no other than Capri, a tiny piece of land in the Bay of Naples, known for its cosmopolitan ambiance. For a more laid-back sequel, continue to Ischia, a shrine of utter relaxation with its heavenly beaches and centuries-old hot springs. 

Island hopping sounds great but what about the logistics? Well, you don’t have to worry about those. JayWay Travel will take care of all the details, such as booking the best ferries and accommodations and arranging all necessary transfers, so that you can grab your sunscreen and skip to the good part.
