Sailboats, pine forest island white cliffs, Dalmatia

Destination: Dalmatia

You're on the wrong Long Island if you're looking to holiday in the Hamptons, but you could do a lot worse than this Dalmatian vacation location. Dugi Otok, meaning 'long island' in Croatian, shares some similarities with its name equivalent in New York: Beautiful beaches, a boating culture, and an oft-overlooked wine industry. And if you're also looking to explore rugged reaches of forest bounded by cliffside sea views, this outpost of the Adriatic is the clear choice.
