Detailed Itinerary |
Day 1: Split, Makarska.
After boarding our “A” category cruiser
(01:30pm)
at the Split harbour and having our lunch onboard we cruise in the tranquil waters of the Mediterranean Sea. We depart for swimming at different bays along the Dalmatian coast before arriving in Makarska, the most attractive coastline nestled under the massive peaks of Biokovo mountain range with Mt Jure – the highest seaside peak in the Mediterranean. Makarska is a popular resort town with a long beach (1500m) lined with palm trees, cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques. Our tour leader will take us for an orientation walk and point out places where we can have a meal before we head to popular bars and clubs. Tonight sleep with the sounds of water lapping underneath you.
Day 2: Makarska, Brac.
The anchor comes up in the morning, we wave goodbye to the shores of Makarska and are bound for the island of Brac. This island is a spectacular panoramic landscape – it is the largest, driest and also contains the most astonishing mountains of all Croatian islands. Within its land contains the limestone quarries used by the ancient Romans to build amphitheaters, temples, palaces and graves all over Dalmatia. Soak up the sun, enrich yourself in the culture or just paddle around in the magic clear waters.
Day 3: Brac, Hvar.
After a swimming break in one of the hidden bays we continue our sail to Hvar. Hvar is the longest island in the Adriatic famous for its lavender, sage, rosemary and wine. Upon arrival, our tour leader will take us for a orientation walk on the island and show us the largest city square of the Croatian Islands and the 400 year old community theatre, the oldest in Europe. The rest of the evening is free to explore the island on your own, dine & wine in one of the traditional restaurants, visit some of the popular clubs and enjoy the night life on this beautiful island.
Day 4: Hvar, Korcula.
Today we first sail to Lumbarda beach and spend some hours here to swim, sunbath, join various activities like jetski, windsurfing and paragliding. We then continue to Korcula, the birthplace of Marco Polo. Korcula is graced with indented coves, rolling hills and a walled old town that resembles a miniature Dubrovnik. It provides plenty of opportunities for scenic drives, particularly along the southern coast. Swimming opportunities abound in the many quiet coves and secluded beaches, while the interior produces some of Croatia’s finest wine, especially dessert wines made from the grape cultivated around Lumbarda. Local olive oil is another product worth sampling out. Here you can wander the herringbone streets, visit the spot where Marco Polo lived, or grab a cocktail in the bar located on top of the old city tower.
Day 5: Korcula, Trstenik.
Early in the morning we cruise south and take a swimming break at one of the bays near Loviste, a delightful fishing village and harbour on the Peljesac Peninsula before cruising to Trstenik, one of the most impressive and unspoiled islands along the Croatian coast. Trstenik is located in a deep bay at the foot of the hills, on the southern coast of the Peljesac peninsula and is ideal for swimming due to its beautiful pebble beach. The town is a traditional village famous for its wine growing and was built in the late 19th Century.
Day 6: Trstenik,Mljet.
We'll depart Trstenik and cruise down the coast to Mljet, a fantastic island covered by forests and dotted by fields, vineyards and small villages. Opened in 1960, Mljet National Park occupies the western third of the island and surrounds two saltwater lakes, Malo Jezero and Veliko Jezero. Before arriving in Mljet we take a swimming break at one of the amazing Croatian bays. After arriving to this impressive island our tour leader takes us on an orientation walk. Your afternoon is free to visit the salt lakes in the National Park, enjoy the sun and sea or participate in the activities like kayaking, cycling, scooting around the National Park.
Day 7: Mljet, Dubrovnik.
After breakfast we depart for Dubrovnik. We first stop near the Elephite island and swim in the tranquil waters of the Mediterranean. We then cruise to Dubrovnik while enjoying the fantastic scenery of nature along the way and arrive in Dubrovnik in the early afternoon. Once we dock, our tour leader takes us into the city for an orientation walk. Much of the history of Dubrovnik can be characterized by its intact city walls, which run uninterrupted for 1940 meters encircling the city. This complex structure, one of the most beautiful and strongest fortified systems in Europe, is the main attraction to the city’s visitors. Five towers inbuilt along the city wall offer unforgettable views of the city, and out to sea warding off by gone invaders. In the afternoon you have free time to taste the refreshing cold beer and Mediterranean food at the Croatian taverns, visit the gift shops and enjoy the night life of Dubrovnik.
Day 8: Dubrovnik.
Our trip will end here
(11:00am)
in the stunning waters of Dubrovnik after an on board breakfast we say goodbye to our new friends, and disembark the vessel.
