Embark in Dubrovnik (Gruz) Harbour in time to set sail at 13:00, lunch is served as we cruise along the Dalmatian coast down to the one of the Elaphiti islands - Sipan, or the small village of Slano on the mainland. Both are peaceful fishermen's villages where you can experience a fantastic sunset. Overnight in the port.
After breakfast we continue our journey towards the Mljet Island and its National Park. After lunch on board there is free time to enjoy the salt lakes in the National Park and enjoy the sun and sea on this peaceful island. In the middle of the large lake, inside Mljet National Park, you can visit the old abbey and church, or just use a small boat to roam around the National Park. Bicycles can also be hired to cycle around the paths that surround the lakes. We continue to Korčula where we arrive in late afternoon. Surrounded by ancient walls and fortified bastions, Korčula’s old town is very well preserved with its layout and structure dating back to 13th century. Overnight in port.
Early departure to cruise to Little Bisevo Island to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon. Our visit will depend on weather conditions. Continue towards the Vis Island, which was closed to the public until recently as it a strategic naval harbour due to its unique geographical position. Because of this isolation, Vis has a special charm of ‘the Mediterranean as it once was’ which makes it really interesting to see. Overnight in the town of Vis near the remains of the ancient Issa, first urban centre in Croatia. If interested, visit the remains of the Roman thermal palace & city museum or simply take a walk enjoying the views of the beautiful villae rusticae situated along the waterfront.
Our next destination is the little Scedro Island where we will have enough time to relax and refresh in the clean, crystal blue sea. We depart for Hvar after lunch. Hvar is the longest island in the Adriatic. Here we can find the Renaissance cathedral with its original tower; also the oldest community theatre in Europe was founded here in 1612. Hvar, - the 'sunshine and jet-set island' - offers plenty of restaurants, bars and cafes that are open long into the night.
Leave Hvar and continue our cruise towards the island of Brac, or more precisely to the town of Bol, best known for its famous Zlatni Rat beach ( The Golden horn), a natural phenomenon. After a swimming break or short walk around the village we continue towards Makarska where strolling along the streets, you will come across numerous churches and other architectural and cultural sites. Overnight in port.
Today's destination is Pucisca, a typical Mediterranean village, situated on the northern side of Brac island at the bottom of a deep bay. But before reaching it, stop for swimming and relaxing in some secluded bay along the route. After lunch on board, explore Pucisca, home of the world-famous white stone of Brac. There is a possibility of visiting one of the few stone masonry workshops left in Europe. Overnight in the port with the Captain's dinner onboard.
Departure for the last destination, the city of Split. The Old Town of Split is the maze of streets and cobblestoned lanes that surround the 1700 years old Diocletian's Palace (the Emperor chose this spot for his retirement villa). Both the old town and Diocletian's Palace are under UNESCO protection. People's Square (Narodni Trg) is the heart of the Old Town. Cafes and restaurants spill out into the square and one of the highlights of a visit here is gazing up at the old town clock. On arrival join the guided tour of Split with an English speaking guide.
