Early in the morning we set sail to Brač where swimming will be planned at Zlatni Rat beach (if weather permits. In case of bad weather, we will make a stop at nearby Milna). This long, golden, and pebbly beach at Bol extends lasciviously into the Adriatic. The beach protrudes over 500m out into the Adriatic Sea, in a V-shape, surrounded by deep blue water. The shape of the beach changes with the wind, which makes it one of the most unique in Croatia. Afterwards, we will head to Hvar, the longest and the sunniest island in Croatia and one of the most beautiful islands in the world.

Early in the morning we will set sail to the island of Vis. But before Vis, we will make a stop on Biševo Island to see a stunning natural phenomenon—the Blue Cave. The Blue Cave is famous all over the world for its extraordinary, magical, and indescribable silver-blue light. After this extraordinary experience, we will continue our journey to Vis. It is said that Vis is the most mysterious island in Croatia. For many years it was the military and naval headquarters of Tito’s partisan army and was closed to the public until 1989. This meant that it escaped large commercial development and was able to retain its natural beauty. This explains why we love this island so much. The island, which has retained its charm, resisted development and has become the world-famous destination for real nature lovers and people seeking new adventures. The evening you will be free to explore this charming little town on your own.

Early in the morning we will set sail for the island of Korčula, rich in vineyards, olive groves, and small villages with many bays and coves.

Overnight will be spent in Korčula.

Today we will sail to Mljet—the most beautiful and most forested island in the Adriatic, and one of the most beautiful pearls of the Mediterranean. Mljet is also well known for its two salted lakes, Veliko and Malo Jezero, that are located at the north end of the island. The Benedictine monastery located at one of the most beautiful locations in these areas, on the island of St. Mary on Veliko Jezero, is also the most visited location and symbol of the National Park.
