Not only will you relax on the secluded beaches by the woods, but you will also have a chance to have a more active vacation. Maslinica is the only port on the west side of the Island of Šolta, but it still kept its local way of life and a tranquil atmosphere. As it offers clear and calm waters, it is a great location for yachtsmen. Krknjaši: The most beautiful beach on the Island of Drvenik Veli is the Krknjaši beach, guarded by a bay and two islands, Big and Small Krknjaš, in the southeast part of the island. The location makes it rather close to towns Trogir and Split. It is a perfect location for all the yachtsmen as it can be a safe overnight anchorage spot. It is ideal for swimming and relaxing in a peaceful surrounding, as the island itself does not carry but one traditional Mediterranean cuisine restaurant. Day 2, Sunday: Maslinica – Vrboska (Island of Hvar), swimming at Bol (Island of Brač) (20 NM) Vrboska: Vrboska is the smallest town on the Island of Hvar, but at the same time one of its main attractions. It is also known as “Little Venice” thanks to its specific architecture, which covers many different style periods and is full of bridges crossing the canal that intercepts the town. That charm comes from the fact that Vrboska is an ancient town that changed a lot during the course of history. It offers you rich vegetation (mostly pine woods), crystal-clear sea and a great local experience. You must not miss its traditional gastronomic offer, consisting mostly of fresh fish, season food and some of the best Croatian wines. It is a perfect location for experiencing a mixture of an old traditional local town and a developed tourist destination, visible in the town’s two parts, Pjaca and Podva. Bol: Bol is one of the most popular tourist places in the south Adriatic. This small town located on the south side of the Island of Brač will surely impress you: it enjoys a mild climate, hot and dry summer months, beautiful nature, various types of beaches (sand, pebble) and a crystal- clear sea. The inevitable attraction is the beach Zlatni rat – a 500 m long beach with a changing top due to the wind and strong sea currents. It is a great location for swimming and enjoying the summer heat. Day 3, Monday: Vrboska – Stari Grad (Island of Hvar), swimming at Uvala Tiha (Island of Hvar) (11 NM) Stari Grad: Experience some more of the wonderful Croatian coast by surrounding yourself with its breathtaking nature. One of the must-see places is Stari Grad on the northern coast of the Island of Hvar. It is a perfect combination of the native way of life (vineyards, olives, forests) and a modern tourist spot. Many visitors come here to combine various aspects of the vacation: experiencing local gastronomy offer, sports and recreational activities, as well as beaches suitable for everyone's preferences (rocky, concrete, pebble). There is also a rich cultural programme, especially during summer: concerts, recitals and shows such as Stari Grad Summer Festival are not to be missed! Day 4, Tuesday: Stari Grad – Hvar, swimming at Paklinski Otoci (12 NM) Hvar: The inevitable jewel of the Croatian Riviera and Dalmatian islands, with most sunny hours of all the islands in the Adriatic. It encompasses all the best of the Croatian coast: gentle climate, autochthon architecture and unforgettable scenery. Many people recognise that, so the island is often swarmed with guests. If this alone is not enough, there are various tourist offers ready to fill your stay: traditional restaurants, sightseeing, and nightlife. It is certainly not a bad idea to visit other places on the Island of Hvar, best known for its beauty and its long tradition in organised tourism. Paklinski Otoci: If you are not already amazed by the Croatian Rivera, Paklinski (Pakleni) Otoci will do the trick! Not only does this chain of small isles carry a very interesting name (Hell’s Islands), but it is abundant in forests, beaches and lagoons intercepted by the azure Adriatic Sea. No wonder it is considered to be the prettiest part of Hvar’s (and even Croatian!) Riviera. Here you can take a break from the usual tourist centres and enjoy a nice quiet time in the isles’ hidden treasures. There are also a couple of tourist resorts (Jerolim, Stipanska, Palmižana, Vlaška), ensuring you a rich variety of activities once your energy is refilled. Day 5, Wednesday: Hvar – Korčula, swimming at Island of Šćedro (32 NM) Korčula (Korkyra): Situated in the Pelješac Channel, this town and island of the same name will allow you to enjoy a moderate climate and a beautiful Mediterranean nature while exploring their rich history and ancient architecture, from cobbled streets to crystal clear sea. The birthplace of Marco Polo has a very well developed tourism as it is one of the most popular islands to visit on the Croatian coast. Island of Šćedro: Another island full of history, but much smaller in size is the Island of Šćedro, located along the southern part of the Island of Hvar. Thanks to its untouched nature and secluded beaches and coves surrounded by crystal-clear sea, the island is protected as a nature park. We could also call it a “history park” since there were found many historical discoveries both on the land (abandoned village Nastane) and in the sea. Šćedro offers a good anchorage spot, so there will be no problem for you to spend a relaxing time here without any disturbance. Day 6, Thursday: Korčula – Pomena (Island of Mljet), visiting Mljet National Park (14 NM) Pomena: A small historical village on the western coast of the Island of Mljet turned into a tourist place. Pomena offers a harbour, accommodation, and other tourist-oriented contents: fishing, swimming, restaurants, bars, shops. The Mljet National Park and its Malo Jezero (Small Lake) are in the area nearby. The bay of Pomena is a safe anchorage spot thanks to an Islet of Pomestak which shelters it. Mljet National Park: This is an inevitable stop on your journey. The Island of Mljet will amaze you by its stunning dense nature, pleasant climate and the beautiful Adriatic Sea. You will surely find numerous unforgettable landscapes in this national park, the most famous being the Big and the Small Lake, Veliko i malo jezero. No wonder why many consider it one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean. Day 7, Friday: Pomena – Skrivena Luka (Island of Lastovo), swimming at Lastovnjaci (20 NM) Skrivena Luka: A well-known village by the locals, but not a common tourist spot – that would be the definition of this small hidden bay on the southern side of the Island of Lastovo (its name translates to English as Hidden Harbour). It is also known by the locals as Portorus. Skrivena Luka is famous for its lighthouse Struga, the oldest one in Croatia, as well as for diverse contents, from gastronomy to accommodation. Apart from the facilities, the nature will surely not disappoint you either: even though forest fires do occur during the hot summer months, the vegetation stays beautifully abundant. As for the yachtsmen, it is important to mention that Skrivena Luka is a great anchorage spot since it is harboured from strong wind and rough sea. Day 8, Saturday: Skrivena Luka – Vis (37 NM) The town of Vis: Englobing the local culture and way of life with modern-day lifestyle, Vis is a unique experience you cannot miss. It is located on the northeast of the Island of Vis, and apart from the famous Croatian sea and mild climate, it is well known by its protected submarine world. It offers both a vivid waterfront and hidden beaches awaiting to be discovered. The architecture (church Gospa od Spilica) will not disappoint you either. More and more people recognise the beauty of the town of Vis, why shouldn’t you get a chance too? Day 9, Sunday: Vis – Komiža, swimming at Budikovac (13 NM) Komiža: Joining the Island of Hvar in its mild climate, Komiža is a perfect example of a small, but very charming Mediterranean town, even during the winter period. It is guarded by Mt. Hum, overlooking beautiful pebble beaches and an open port. The island’s springs weave their way to the sea through Komiža, such as Gusarica, Nova Pošta, Velo Žalo. You will enjoy a mostly stone- build architecture bathed in the warm sun.
