ITINERARY
DAY 1: Saturday
TROGIR - VIS
Board the M/Y Naranca in Trogir this morning for your cruise of a lifetime. We start our journey sailing to the once forbidden island of Vis. An army base in the former Yugoslavia, this island was not open to tourists until 1989. As a result, it is still very undeveloped and you will be pleased to find that its natural beauty remains intact. Spend the afternoon exploring the ancient sites, or relax on one of the most beautiful, untouched beaches in the Dalmatian archipelago. Dinner on board.
DAY 2: Sunday
VIS - KOMIZA - BISEVO - LASTOVO
This morning we sail to Komiza, a picturesque fishing village on the western coast of Vis Island. From there, you can take an optional excursion to the Blue Grotto on the tiny island of Bisevo. Between 10am and 3pm, the sun's rays pass through an underwater opening, illuminating the cave in a luminous blue light while objects beneath the surface of the water shimmer in silver and pink.
After lunch we continue our journey as we sail on to Lastovo, the furthest inhabited island in Dalmatia. Due it's pristine beauty, the island has been declared a National Park. Upon arrival in the port of Ubli, spend some time exploring beautiful Lastovo Village.
DAY 3: Monday
LASTOVO - KOLOCEP - SIPAN
Early this morning we continue our trip to the Elafiti Islands, with their beautiful scenery and long, sandy beaches. After lunch we head to Sipan, the largest of the Elafiti islands. Famous for its wine, Sipan is a verdant landscape of vineyards and olive trees and citrus groves.
DAY 4: Tuesday
SIPAN - KORCULA
During breakfast, we depart for Korcula, the birthplace of Marco Polo. After stopping en route to swim in a quiet cove, we enjoy lunch on board, and arrive in Korcula in the afternoon. Spend time wandering the narrow streets. Visit the house where Marco Polo was born. Here you will find more legends, tales and monuments than anywhere else.
DAY 5: Wednesday
KORCULA - BOL
Today we head to the island Brac, and one of the most famous beaches in Dalmatia - Zlatni rat - Golden Point. The pebbled beach is a unique phenomenon, about half a kilometre long and surrounded by crystal clear sea. It looks like a long, white tongue and its shape and position change with the wind and waves. We will stop along the way to swim and enjoy lunch on board.
DAY 6: Thursday
BOL - OMIS
After breakfast we head to Omis, a picturesque town surrounded by steep rocky mountain cliffs where the Cetina river flows into the sea. After lunch on board, join the optional excursion today to enjoy white water rafting on the Cetina river. Those not feeling sporty can explore the old town of Omis, or relax on one of the sandy beaches.
DAY 7: Friday
OMIS - TROGIR
Today we sail along the Dalmatian coast, stopping at the ancient city of Split, a UNESCO heritage site. Spend a few hours exploring Diocletian's palace and shopping in the bustling market place. Optional guided tour of the city.
After lunch we continue on to Trogir. Trogir is a town-museum in the very meaning of the word. Lovers of cultural and historical monuments, art, original architecture and beautiful alleys are given the opportunity in Trogir to learn about the manifold and complex heritage - from the Romanesque yard to the modern interiors. The unique historical core, Radovan's portal, the art collections which have been arousing excitement among visitors and travellers for centuries offer a tourist beauty. Optional guided tour of Trogir.
