The type of ship I'm interested in is called

Explore unusual and less visited towns and harbours as well as the great cities of the Adriatic; charming fishermen’s villages, unique National Parks, picturesque coves for swimming, and bustling port towns while sampling local Mediterranean cuisine. Our vessel carries a maximum of just 40 people but at 48 metres long she is is one of the largest vessels allowed into many of the small ports and harbours along this coastline. We will stop for a swim somewhere en route every day and on most evenings we are free to explore the restaurants of the towns we spend our evenings in.

Dubrovnik's old town is an extraordinary maze of medieval streets surrounded by a 3 kilometre long city wall. From Dubrovnik we head to the beautiful Mljet National Park with its monastery on an island on a lake on an island.

Among the many places we see on our sightseeing tour, the Franciscan Monastery stands out. Our evening is free in Hvar to explore even more and dine on your own at one of the many restaurants in town. (B, L) Note: Due to the limited capacity of the Hvar harbor (during peak season in July and August) the port of call can be substituted for Stari Grad/Jelsa. In that case, transfers by bus will be organized to and from Hvar.

Day 4: Wednesday - Hvar – Bol – Split

We sail to Bol, home of the Golden Horn, one of the most breathtaking beaches in Croatia.
