Adriatic Explorer from Dubrovnik

Saturday. Dubrovnik - Sipan/Slano. Departure from Dubrovnik Harbour Gruz at 1pm today, cruise along the south Dalmatian Coast down to one of the Elaphite Islands - Sipan or to the small village Slano, where we overnight. Enjoy your evening meal at one of the many restaurants and experience the fantastic sunset in this small fishermen's village.

Sipan/Slano - Mljet - Korcula. We continue our journey towards one of the greenest Adriatic Islands - Mljet. This afternoon we take time to enjoy the beauties of the National Park, two salt lakes connected by a narrow channel to the sea and a boat ride to the St Mary Isle in the Great Lake, where the old church and monastery are situated. Enjoy a swim in lakes or cycling around them. After lunch, we continue towards Korcula, the birthplace of famous explorer and adventurer Marco Polo. Surrounded by medieval walls, Korcula resembles a miniature Dubrovnik when approaching from the sea. The town has more legends, tales and monuments than you can find anywhere else. Today, Korcula is the only place in the world where the Spanish medieval knight's game – Moreska is still performed. Before arriving in Korcula in the afternoon hours, we stop for a swim in one of the beautiful little bays. Upon arrival enjoy a walk through the streets of the old town, built in the shape of a fish bone. Visit the numerous konobas/taverns, restaurants, cocktail bars or night-clubs located within and around the city walls.

Korcula - Vis. This morning we cruise towards the little island of Biševo and visit the Blue cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon. Our next destination is the island of Vis, which was because of its unique geographical position, a strategic harbour for the Navy and was closed to the public until recently. Because of this isolation, Vis has a special charm, ‘the Mediterranean as it once was’ which makes it a really interesting place to see. We overnight in the town of Vis, situated on the northern side of the island, developed near the remains of the ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia. If interested, visit the remains of the Roman Thermal Place, City Museum or simply take a walk and enjoy the views of the beautiful Roman styled villas along the waterfront.

Vis - Hvar. The next destination is the tiny island of Šćedro, located near Hvar Island. Upon arrival, there is time to relax and refresh with a swim in the clean, crystal-blue sea. After lunch, depart for Hvar, followed by an optional guided tour.

Hvar is the longest island in the Adriatic. Visit the magnificent Renaissance cathedral with its original tower, as well as the oldest community theatre in Europe, founded here in 1612. Hvar offers plenty of restaurants, bars, cafés and clubs, many of which stay open late into the night. Overnight in Hvar Harbour.

Hvar - Bol - Makarska. This morning we continue our cruise to the island of Brac, more precisely to the town of Bol, a typical Dalmatian fishermen's village turned into tourist destination. Bol is best known for its beautiful Zlatni Rat Beach (aka Golden Horn). After a swim at the horn we continue towards Makarska, with it's Mediterranean feel. A famous tourist destination with many restaurants and bars and an interesting beach promenade. Enjoy the magic of the central spot of the Makarska Riviera, and be sure to take a walk along the city streets – with an abundance of churches and other historical cultural sites.

Makarska - Pucisca. We continue towards Pucisca, a typical Mediterranean town, situated on the northern side of Brac Island at the bottom of a deep bay. This place is home to the world famous white stone of Brac. There is the possibility of visiting one of the few remaining stone masonry workshops left in Europe. Tonight we'll enjoy a scrumptious Captain's Dinner.

Pucisca - Split. We continue our cruise towards our last destination – the town of Split, a city under UNESCO protection. Its historical richness and beauty does not belong to only to people who live near its walls, but are offered to those that want to experience the centuries-old beauty. Upon arrival we recommend that you join our optional guided tour of Split with an English speaking guide for walk through the old city centre, and 1700 year old Diocletian's Palace.
