DAY 2 / SUNDAY: SPLIT – OMIS – PUCISCA ( BRAC ISLAND)
Our English-speaking guide will do the morning Split City tour and walk us through the historical Diocletian Palace. The second largest urban center in Croatia and the seat of the Split Dalmatia County, Split boasts 1700 years of history. Since 1979 the historic center of Split has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site List. The city’s historical and cultural buildings are located inside the walls of the Diocletian’s Palace. At 12:00 a.m. we’ll start our cruise to Omis with lunch on board. An ancient town with city walls, fortresses and stone churches, Omis is located at the delta of Cetina River with its wonderful beaches. For centuries, Omis was a stronghold of famous pirates, a symbol of retaliation, courage, and strength in the long historical fight against The Republic of Venice. Our cruise continues across the Brac Channel, all the way to Pucisca, the biggest village on the island of Brac. Nowhere in the system of towns and villages in Dalmatia does terrain play such a compelling role as in Pucisca. Its spectacular irregularity of steep-sided natural harbor, authentic Mediterranean architecture, and rustic ambiance are simply unforgettable. Stone from the Pucisca quarry was used to build limestone columns of the White House in Washington DC, Vienna Parliament and many other famous buildings around the world. Pucisca is also home to the only Croatian Stonemasonry school. We’ll spend a night in this very quiet town. Enjoy the nightfall, as it unifies the distinct features of Pucisca that have intrigued us so much in daylight.

DAY 3 / MONDAY: PUCISCA – BOL – HVAR
We’ll start our day with a morning departure towards Bol known for having one of the finest European beaches, called Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape). As we stop in Bol, you can relax in this charming Dalmatian town. Have a walk, a cup of coffee, or a swim, until lunch is served on board. After lunch, we shall continue cruising along many idyllic coves and bays towards Hvar, the sunniest Croatian island. Hvar is one of the most popular and attractive Croatian tourist destinations and a meeting point for the international jet set. Upon your evening arrival in Hvar, a local English-speaking guide will walk you through the town, introducing you to the island’s way of life, its rich history, and culture. You’ll learn how lavender was traditionally farmed on Hvar, for many centuries. Afterward, you’ll be free to enjoy your evening in Hvar, to explore and dine in one of its numerous family-owned restaurants or taverns.

DAY 4 / TUESDAY: HVAR – BISEVO BLUE CAVE – VIS
We’ll start our day with a morning cruise towards the Island of Bisevo and its Blue Cave. Originally, the entrance to Blue Cave was located below sea level, which required visitors to dive deeply in order to resurface into the cave’s mysterious blue depths. However, sometimes high waves prevent the entrance to Blue Cave, which is something we shall not know before the morning designated for our visit. For this reason, entrance fees are paid on the spot. Afterward, we’ll dock in Vis and have lunch. Vis is truly unique in comparison to other Adriatic islands. Being an important strategic military stronghold for a long time, Vis was spared the excessive tourist development and thus retained its unspoiled beaches, ecological agriculture, and traditional architecture. Enjoy the afternoon, exploring the town of Vis, its picturesque stone streets, pristine beaches, and fine taverns. For all who are interested we will organize an optional military tour and Vis Island excursion, ending in Komiza, a stunning fishermen’s village to have dinner in one of the cozy restaurants. Reservations and payment on the spot.

Overnight in Vis Town, (B,L)

DAY 5 / WEDNESDAY: VIS – KORCULA
We’ll start our day with a morning departure towards the island of Korcula, with a swim stop and lunch en route. In the afternoon, we’ll arrive at Korcula Town, on the Island of Korcula. This town is known as the birthplace of Marko Polo, one of the most famous world explorers of all time. Our English-speaking guide will do a Korcula City tour and walk us through Korcula’s charming narrow and cobbled streets. You’ll have the rest of the evening free, to enjoy dining at one of the local restaurants of your choice.
