After breakfast, cruise towards the island and Mljet National Park (entrance fee not included, to be paid on the spot). Lunch on board. Free time to enjoy the salt lakes in the National Park and enjoy the sun and sea on this tranquil island. The large lake is inside the National park, and in the middle one can visit an old abbey and church, or just use a canoe to roam around the lakes in the National Park. Bicycles can also be hired to cycle around the paths surrounding the lakes. We continue to the island of Korčula where we arrive in the late afternoon. Optional guided tour of Korčula. Surrounded by ancient walls and fortified bastions Korčula’s old town is very well preserved with its layout and structure dating back to the 13th century. Overnight in one of the ports of Korčula, depending on availability (the main port in the town centre/ port of Dominče / ferry port (3 km away).

Day 3 KORČULA - BIŠEVO ( BLUE CAVE), VIS / KOMIŽA

Early in the morning, cruise toward the little island of Biševo to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon. The visit depends on sea conditions; entrance tickets are paid on the spot. After the cave, continue toward the island of Vis, once a strategic harbour for the Yugoslav navy and closed to the public for decades. Thanks to that isolation, Vis kept the rare charm of “the Mediterranean as it once was.” Overnight will be in Vis or Komiža (depending on berth availability). Vis sits on the northern side of the island, developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia. If you feel like exploring, visit the Roman Thermal Baths and the City Museum, or enjoy a walk along the waterfront with views of the villae rusticae scattered along the shore. For travellers who want to see more, renting a car or scooter is an easy way to discover the rest of this surprisingly wild island.

Day 5 HVAR - BOL - MAKARSKA

Leave Hvar behind and continue cruising towards the island of Brač, heading to the town of Bol, best known for its famous Zlatni rat beach (Golden Horn), a natural phenomenon of distinct shape and form.
