Day 1 - Welcome to Croatia!
Split - Trogir - Hvar. After arriving at Split Airport, a transfer takes you to Marina Baotic in Trogir to check in aboard the vessel. We depart at 2 pm for Hvar, the Adriatic's longest and sunniest island, known for its lavender fields, clear waters and history.
Discover the Renaissance cathedral and Europe's oldest public theatre, dating from 1612, along with a hike up to the town fort for views over the harbour and the Pakleni Islands.
In the afternoon, our guide leads a walking tour of Hvar Town, followed by a wine tasting at a local winery. You will have the evening at leisure to explore Hvar's restaurants, bars and cafes.

Tour Reviews
The quality of the boat and crew were fantastic. Also enjoyed the regular stops and learning about Croatia. Timing at each stop was great.
KaraWe were lucky that there were only 11 guests onboard and 9 crew members! Our tour guide, Minja was excellent. She ensured we knew exactly where we were going, and what times we needed to reassemble etc. The food and service onboard were also very good, as was our cabin, which was very comfortable
