Our English speaking guide will do a morning Split City tour, walking us through the world famous Diocletian’s Palace. Split is the second largest urban centre in Croatia and the seat of the Split- Dalmatia County. Over 1700 years old, Split abounds with cultural and historical sights, lots of them situated within the Split’s historical nucleus which has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list ever since 1979. At 12 am we’ll sail out for Trogir, another city inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Lunch will be served on board and we’ll have a swim stop on the way, arriving to Trogir in the afternoon. This town - museum is literally packed with palaces, churches, monasteries and towers, the main attraction being the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, probably the finest example of sacral architecture in Croatia.

In the morning we'll sail for Bol, a place best known for its beach of Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape), which regularly hits the top lists of the most beautiful European beaches. Once we stop in Bol, you can enjoy indulge in simple pleasures such as taking a walk around this nice little Dalmatian town until lunch is served on board. After lunch we'll continue cruising towards Vis. Being an important strategic military stronghold for a long time, Vis was spared the excessive tourist development and thus retained its unspoilt beaches, ecological agriculture and traditional architecture.

We'll cruise to the Island of Biševo and its Blue Cave, one of the most famous natural attractions in whole of the Adriatic Sea. The Blue Cave is a water logged cave that can be approached only by boat. However, at times high waves prevent boats from entering the Blue Cave, which is something we cannot know before the morning designated for our visit. In case we can't enter the Blue Cave due to rough sea conditions, you will get a full ticket refund. After a swim stop and lunch on board we’ll continue cruising along many coves and bays, towards Hvar, the sunniest Croatian island. Hvar is one of the country’s most attractive tourist destinations and a meeting point of international jetsetters. Upon our arrival to Hvar, a local English speaking guide will walk you through this unique city, introducing you to its millennia-long history, culture and a way of life. Afterwards, you'll have an evening on your own to explore and dine in one of numerous family owned restaurants and taverns.
