Compared to other Adriatic islands, Vis is rather unique. Being an important strategic military stronghold for centuries, Vis was spared the excessive tourist development and thus retained its unspoilt beaches, ecological agriculture and traditional architecture.

We'll start our day with a morning cruise towards Island of Bisevo and its Blue Cave. Originally, the entrance to Blue Cave was located below sea level, which required visitors to dive deeply in order to resurface into the cave’s mysterious blue depths. Now we enter the cave in a small boat through a small entrance. However, if the sea is choppy we cannot enter the Blue Cave, which is something we shall not know before the morning designated for our visit. For this reason, entrance fees are paid on the spot.

Hvar is one of the most popular and attractive Croatian tourist destinations and a meeting point of the international jet set.

Nowhere in the system of towns and villages in Dalmatia does terrain play such a compelling role as in Pucisca. Its spectacular irregularity of steep-sided natural harbour, authentic Mediterranean architecture and rustic ambience are simply unforgettable.

Pucisca is also home to the only Croatian Stonemasonry school. Its students carve sculptures from Brac limestone, applying traditional and unconventional tools that have been used here for centuries. We shall spend a night in this very quiet town. Enjoy the nightfall, as it unifies the distinct features of Pucisca that have intrigued us so much in daylight. This evening, we will have Captain’s dinner on board. Overnight in Pucisca, (B, L, Captain’s dinner)
