Croatia’s Adriatic/Dalmatian Coast is truly sailing paradise.
More than 1200 islands and islets offer unique experience and
ever-lasting memories. Some of these islands are as bare as the
moon and some are lush and overgrown in “machia” (Mediterranean
flora). Since only about 60 of these islands are populated, finding
a secluded one with totally private beach is no big task. On these
cruise we would like to show you some of the prettiest and most
popular islands that offer diversity in scenery, culture and
cuisine.
ITINERARY Day 1 – SATURDAY SPLIT-Arrival (D) You will be
transferred from Split’s airport or your Split hotel to harbor,
where embarkation begins at noon. Get settled in your cabin before
attending a Welcome Reception this evening.
Day 2 -SUNDAY SPLIT – BOL – HVAR Stop in Bol, a small town on
Island Brac (brach), for a swim at the Golden Horn beach. Enjoy the
1740-foot-long golden pebble beach said to be the best in Croatia.
It is unique in that it changes shape and position depending on the
winds. Return to your boat for lunch, then head to Hvar. Hvar is
one of the most popular islands in the Adriatic and a meeting point
for the international jet-set. The “Croatian Madeira” is also one
of the longest islands stretching along the shores of Croatia. A
sightseeing tour of Hvar town shows you the first public theatre in
Europe (older than Shakespeare’s theatre in the UK) and many more
historical sights. Your evening is free to explore Hvar on your
own. Note: Due to the limited capacity of the Hvar harbor (during
peak season in July and August) port of call can be substituted for
Stari Grad/Jelsa (yel-sa) In that case transfer by bus will be
organized to and from Hvar.
Day 3 – MONDAY HVAR – KORČULA After breakfast set sail for
Korčula (kor-choo-la), with swimming stop in one of pristine bays
and lunch onboard. Early afternoon arrival to Korčula, thought to
be the birthplace of the famous explorer Marco Polo. Take a walking
tour through its narrow, cobbled streets full of history. Your
evening is free to discover the town and enjoy dinner on your own
at one of the many restaurants.
Day 4 – TUESDAY KORČULA – DUBROVNIK
-
In the morning sail to Dubrovnik, so called “Pearl of the
Adriatic”, a UNESCO World Heritage site. While in Dubrovnik, our
local guide will meet you and take you on a 2-hour walking tour of
the old town. You will also visit (cable car tickets not included)
Mt. Srdj with a spectacular view of Dubrovnik or watch an
unforgettable sunset. After Dubrovnik city tour we will treat you
with a dinner at our family villager retreat near Dubrovnik. Dinner
is on us but you will have to pay for transfers (about $50 each
way). Tis might as well be the highlight of the entire trip. Please
refer to the “Kameni Dvori” attachment or click here for
details.
Day 5 WEDNESDAY DUBROVNIK – MLJET Today we turn our compass back
north, with plenty of time for morning swim along the sail. As you
dine we will sail toward Mljet (mlyet) Island. Mljet National Park
is one of the prettiest Dalmatian islands with a laerge salt water
lake and another island on the lake. It is very green and
encompasses five types of forest, many species of birds, and two
deep lakes, Veliko Jezero (ye-zeh-ro) or Big Lake and Malo Jezero
(Small Lake). This lovely island was supposedly a favorite spot for
the Greek mythological hero Ulysses! Your evening is free in
Mljet.
Day 6 – THURSDAY MLJET – PUČIŠĆA Take a break for a swim during
your morning cruise. Continue sailing through lunch, arriving this
afternoon in Pučišća (poo-cheesh-cha), a beautiful little town on
island of Brac. Tonight, enjoy captain’s dinner onboard.
