The Captain always holds the right to change the route if the weather conditions do not allow for him to proceed according to your agreement. Where to eat Kod Marka on Šipan Restaurant Bowa Your embarkation is at 5:00 PM. After a short greeting and introduction with the crew and a boat, you will set sail for Šipan – your first destination. Šipan is part of archipelago called Elafiti islands, that consists of about 10 islands and isles that spread across the open sea just in front of Dubrovnik towards northwest. This archipelago, named after deer, who unfortunately no longer live on these islands, attract tourists with its untouched nature and beautiful beaches. You will soon realize that Šipan is a perfect place for you to relax on your first evening on board. Šipan was for centuries a favorite holiday spot for Dubrovnik nobility. On the island itself there are 42 ruins of villas and holiday homes built by prominent citizens of Dubrovnik in the 16th and 17th century. The most famous and best preserved among them is the one of the Stijepović- Skočibuha family located in the village of Suđurađ. Next to this villa Tomo Skočibuha, rich shipbuilder and trader from Dubrovnik, built also a defensive tower, to protect his family and property from pirate attacks. This house is a great example of renaissance architecture, and it can be visited every day during the summer. Suđutađ is connected with a road with the second largest village on the island –Šipanska Luka (Šipan Port). This road, that goes through beautiful Šipan field, offers a perfect biking or hiking tour. Down the way you can visit some of the ruins of villas or some of 34 old churches, located on the island. One of them, the Church of St. Maria in Pakljena from the 13th century was known as a gathering place of the Templar order. Enjoy your walk through this pristine nature and discover what has, for centuries, attracted people to these islands, in their search for salvation from everyday bustle. What to Stijepović Skočibuha Šipan is also the island of olive trees and it see on castle and tower has been listed in the Guinness Book of Records as Šipan St. Michael’s Benedictine the island with the highest number of olive trees monastery compared to its size and number of people living there. St. Mary Church Peak Velji Vrh Where to LD Restaurant eat in Filippi Restaurant Korčula Aterina Today you will have a few extra hours of sailing in the morning but it will be worth it as you are going to visit town of Korčula on the island with the same name. Korčula is usually known as the birth town of famous explorer Marco Polo. You will be able to visit his birth house and from there enjoy a stunning view of the whole town. You will reach Korčula around lunch time and before visiting town, you will have a few hours to enjoy sea activities and relax in the nature of some beautiful bay. In the late afternoon the boat will moor near the town center. Korčula is also known as a small Dubrovnik and when arriving and looking from the distance of the seaside, you will see why this is so. Located on a small peninsula, surrounded with stone city walls and fortresses it really resembles Dubrovnik. Narrow streets and old town center with Renaissance-Gothic houses, palaces and churches just complete this impression. Korčula is a really thrilling town: full of life, full of art, full of history. You can feel this everywhere: behind every little corner and on every little square. And if you are lucky enough -in the evening you may witness the Moreška dance, traditional sword dance which probably has its St Mark’sCathedral origins in Spain and from there came to this part of What to Mediterranean. This is something that people from Korčula see in Town Museum are really proud of, as it has a long tradition and today is Korčula Marco Polo’s House performed only on this island. We assure you that, after the The Memorial Collection of evening spent in this beautiful little town, you will for sure MaksimilijanVanka keep some special memories in your heart for the rest of your life. What to Lastovo chimneys see on St Kuzma and Damian Lastovo church Hum Peak Rača Cave Where to Konoba Augusta Insula eat on Triton Lastovo After this visit to a charming and busy Korčula, you will have another day of relaxation surrounded with untouched nature. And is there a better place to find pristine nature then to visit the farthest inhabited Croatian island –Lastovo. As one of 46 isles that create Lastovo archipelago, this island was more than four decades closed for foreign visitors (as a military zone) and that way remained protected from the influence of mass tourism. Often referred to as the island of the bright stars, Lastovo is known to offer the clearest night sky in Europe. So here is an idea how to spend your evening tonight. Enjoy romantic star gazing, as the sky filled with so many bright stars you will not experience so often. Lastovo is also, together with Mljet, known as the greenest island in Adriatic as 70% of the island surface is covered with forests. Untouched nature, rich Mediterranean flora and fauna, habitats of many endemic species, enchanting underwater life are some of the many reasons why this island was declared a nature park, and was protected this way. Hiking and cycling are the best ways to explore the island as there are many marked trails. It is also good to know that there aren’t any venomous snakes on the whole island. We suggest you to visit Hum, the highest peak of the island and from there enjoy magnificent views of the whole archipelago and the open sea. If you are lucky enough and the sky is clear, somewhere in the far distance you can even see Italy. For all those who are not so much into a recreation, a short walk to village Lastovo, the center of the island, should be enough. Lastovo is the only settlement on the island that is located far from the sea, surrounded only with hills. Mostly known for its unique chimneys, Lastovo is a beautiful little village. With its amphitheatric layout, narrow streets and old houses it offers the true spirit of the Mediterranean. Spend your day in search of chimneys, each one different in its own way and each one more beautiful than the other. What to see in St Stephen cathedral Hvar Bishop's Palace Arsenal and Theater Where to Giaxa eat in Hvar Ko doma Today you will sail to the sunniest island on the Adriatic – island Hvar. You will spend Gariful your day in some beautiful bay on island Šćedro Pasarola or island Hvar: sunbath and relax, enjoy water sports and have lunch aboard surrounded with beautiful nature. In the afternoon, you will visit the center of the island, town with the same name - Hvar. Town of Hvar is already well known to most of the tourists coming to Croatia, as the night life paradise, but Hvar has so much more to offer. With a rich history, as Venetian center of the island, Hvar offers many historical attractions mostly dated in the 16th and 17th century. Central part of the town is Pjaca, main square, the largest and the most beautiful one in Dalmatia. The square is surrounded by St. Stephen's Cathedral, Bishop's palace and Arsenal. Hvar has also had the oldest public theatre in Europe, formed in 1612., located in the Arsenal. We advise you to take a short walk to the fortress Fortica and enjoy a stunning view on the Pakleni islands, an island chain that protects Hvar harbor from the south. Besides history, nature is something that will fascinate you on Hvar: from the magical lavender fields filled with enchanting scents, to fascinating vineyards on the south side of the island to the studding hidden bays and coves on the island chain of Pakleni islands that offer perfect anchoring spots. So, after spending the evening in the busy town of Hvar you will be ready to fully enjoy the peacefulness of night spent in some hidden bay on Pakleni islands. If you seek for a unique souvenir from this island - lavender flowers or lace from agave plant made by nuns from Benedictine monastery would be the perfect choices. After a day spent in the busiest town on the Adriatic, you will have a few hours of relaxed sailing before you reach your next destination – peninsula Pelješac. Anchored in some hidden cove, isolated from anything that could disturb your inner peace, you will spend your day on Pelješac, sunbathing and enjoying various water toys available on board. Surrounded by crystal clear waters and the sounds of nature, you will soon realize that there is no other place you would rather be. Read your favorite book, listen to your favorite music and enjoy spending time with your family and friends in your own private part of heaven. All surrounded by top service, while enjoying the new gastronomic experiences that the chef will prepare just for you.

Medicine, Split, Croatia *The first two authors contributed Methods In this registry-based study we used the official equally. mortality register data to analyze the mortality patterns on seven Croatian islands (Brač, Hvar, Korčula, Lastovo, Mljet, Šolta, and Vis) and Pelješac peninsula in the 1998-2013 pe- riod and calculated the average lifespan, life expectancy, and standardized mortality ratios (SMR). We compared the leading causes of death with those in the mainland popu- lation of two southernmost Croatian counties. Results The average lifespan of the island population was 3-10 years longer for men and 2-7 years longer for wom- en than that on the mainland. All-cause SMRs were signifi- cantly lower for both men and women on Korčula, Brač, Mljet, and Pelješac but significantly higher for women on Šolta (1.22; 95% confidence intervals 1.07-1.38). The lead- ing causes of death on the islands were cardiovascular dis- eases, with higher percentages in men and lower in wom- en in comparison with those on the mainland.
