Departure at 1pm towards Korcula, the island best known as the birthplace of Marco Polo, the famous explorer. Covering many of the islands are the distinctive, almost black pine forests of Korcula is also known as "the Black Island". Korcula Town is a mini Dubrovnik, also enclosed by medieval stone ramparts and towers. The famous Moreška sword dance-fight is thought to have come to the island when the Moors raged through this region and there are regular performances.

A guide will guide you through the old town where tiny streets are designed in a fish bone pattern for a very good reason that you will hear about! Lots of simple waiters, restaurants and cool cocktail bars (some with cool music) for chill out time. Overnight in Korcula.

Today we are discovering one of the last wetland deltas in Europe. We cruise to Metkovic, on the banks of the river Neretva after which the delta is named. Here, mandarins grow by water channels and we take a barge ride to explore the groves, flora and fauna, wild birds and the traditional way of life of the Neretva people. Seems a delightful, "time warp" feeling like nowhere else on the coast. The Narona Archaeological Museum in Vid, which we visit, was formally inaugurated in 2007 as the first in situ museum in Croatia to exhibit the remains of a Roman temple.

Named Augusteum with 17 marble statues, some outsized and some of natural height. This is where the ancient Illyrians, Greeks, Romans once sailed, and, according to legend, the pirates of Neretva planned their raids on enemy galleys. Captain's dinner with live entertainment on board scheduled for this evening. Overnight in Metkovic.

A never-to-be-forgotten experience is swimming under the falls so bring your swimming things and enjoy the crystal clear fresh water.
