Split to Split

Departure from Split at 13:00h (late arrivals can join in Omiš) followed by lunch on board and a swimming stop. We continue to Omiš or to Pučišća on the island of Brač. Omišis a striking, coastal town surrounded by dramatic canyons and cliffs, where the river Cetina flows into the Adriatic sea. Take the chance here to try Cetina river rafting or the Cetina Canyon zipline. Other options include a climb to the old fortress above the town, a game of volleyball on the beach or simply stroll through the old town of Omiš and discover the glorious long history through the abundant historical monuments.

Early departure so by the time you are enjoying breakfast Omiš/Pučišća will already be behind us. After a morning swim in the crystal blue sea, we cruise toward Korčula; the birthplace of Marco Polo. Lunch will be served either on the tip of the Pelješac peninsula (near Lovište) or in the quiet bay of Kneža on Korčula. We arrive in the afternoon in Korčula for sightseeing of this exceptional town (Included on Premium and Prem.

Before we leave Korčula, why not take a walk by the marina or through the nearby open market where you can souvenirs and other local specialities. We continue our cruise towards Lastovo, the most distant inhabited island in Dalmatia and which Romans called the Imperial island (approx. EUR 5.- to be paid on the spot to enter Nature Park Lastovo zone). We dock in the port of Ubli. From there we take the local bus or taxi to Lastovo village and visit the local winery where you can taste some indigenous wine sorts (optional).

Early morning departure towards Vis island, which was “off limits” to tourists for many years. Because of its unique geographical position, it was a strategic harbour for the Yugoslav navy and in this period of isolation Vis has retained a rather special charm reflecting the “‘Mediterranean as it once was” making it really interesting to see. Near Vis, there is tiny Ravnik island, where the Green Cave (approx. EUR 10.-) is situated and which was named after the unusual greenish light that reflects in the sea from the hole on the top of the cave. Depending on the weather conditions we plan to have a short swim here, and then we sail further to the town of Komiža/Vis for overnight.

Early in the morning we cruise towards little Biševo island to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon. As sometimes weather conditions can be very unpredictable, cave visit may be closed due to wind and/or high tide – you will be notified, in time, by the crew. Entrance to Blue Cave is to be paid on the spot (approx. EUR 10-14.- per person). We continue towards Stari Grad on the island of Hvar where records confirm that this is the sunniest Adriatic island. Free afternoon to explore this unique town and its famous horseshoe shaped bay.

After breakfast, we cruise towards the beautiful Brač island and the famous town of Bol which has one of the most unusual, and most photographed beaches in Dalmatia. We plan to swim there at Zlatni Rat, the Golden Horn (or cape) a shingle bar or spit that shifts from side to side, changing shape according to the change in direction of the wind and waves. Bol is a typical fishermen’s town which has become a popular tourist destination without being spoilt.

Enjoy the best of the last day relaxing and swimming in various quiet bays on the island of Brač before arriving in Split in the afternoon. Split is Croatia’s second city, a busy university and maritime town and the capital of the Dalmatia region. Split is a city under UNESCO protection, and its historical and cultural monuments are wondrous both to local inhabitants, but also to the many visitors who fall in love with this 1,000 plus year old beauty.
