After a lunch we stop in one of the bays on the island of Čiovo, where we will have our first chance to dip into the crystal-clear water of the Adriatic Sea. After having enjoyed swimming and sunbathing, we will set sail for UNESCO Split. Split is Croatia’s second largest city and the capital of Dalmatia. Walk through the medieval streets as the Romans did 18 centuries ago and enjoy the most impressive sites such as the palace of the great emperor Diocletian with his mausoleum – today’s cathedral, Peristyle, Golden gate, various statues, Venetian palaces and much more. Afterwards spend some free time exploring Riva – beautiful waterside promenade lined with restaurants, shops and cafes. Overnight in the port of Split.

Sailing along the south coast of the island of Korčula, we will stop at one of the numerous bays for a swim, before heading to our next port of call – Pomena, on the island of Mljet. Part of the island was declared a National Park – two saltwater lakes are connected to the sea by a narrow channel. They originated approximately 10,000 years ago. Until the Christian era, they were freshwater lakes, but since then a narrow passage, Soline bay, has connected them to the sea. Overnight in Pomena.

We continue our journey south. After a swimming break at the Elafiti Islands, we will enter the port of Dubrovnik around 4:00 pm.

Except for its cultural and historical sites, Dubrovnik is inexhaustible source of traditionally prepared food, excellent selections of vine and great choice of café and souvenir shops.

Continuing our cruise, we will first stop in a bay of the Elafiti Islands for swimming and sunbathing, before heading to the island of Korčula. Explore the Old Town of Korčula, which is still surrounded by its 13th-century fortifications, built by the Venetians. Korčula boasts one of the most beautiful old towns in Dalmatia and because of its fortress-like appearance it is often called “Little Dubrovnik”. Overnight stay in the birthplace of the famous sailor and explorer Marco Polo.

Passing the channel between the island of Korčula and the mountainous Pelješac Peninsula, we head towards the island of Brač. On our way to Brač, we will stop in one of the beautiful secluded bays of this area for swimming and sunbathing. The island landscape is dominated by a limestone relief, with numerous gullies, crevices, cavities, valleys and coves. Brač is also known for being one of the largest islands in the entire Adriatic Sea. Overnight stay in one of the lovely places in the northern part of the island, Pučišća, Postira or Supetar.
