Morning departure to the island of Brac where swimming is planned at the most famous beach in Dalmatia - Zlatni Rat near Bol - whose shingle promontory shifts from side to side as the wind and waves constantly cause the beach shape to change. Bol is a typical fishermen's village converted into a popular tourist destination yet retaining its charm. We continue towards the jet-set island of Hvar with lunch on board in the Pakleni Islands. Hvar is the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic known for its lush lavender fields and breathtaking beauty.

We arrive in the afternoon on a tour of the town's historic landmarks - the Renaissance cathedral with its original tower, and the oldest community theater in Europe founded in 1612. Hike up the zig-zag path to the town fort overlooking the harbor for lovely scenic views of your ship and the Pakleni islands. In the evening Hvar offers a great choice of entertainment - numerous restaurants, bars and clubs with many open long into the night. Overnight in the port.

Early morning cruise towards the small island of Biševo to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon (entrances to the paid spot - approx. 10-15 EUR). As sometimes weather conditions can be very unpredictable, the possibility of our visit will depend on those conditions, however you will be notified of this on time. Continue to the island of Vis, once a strategic naval Yugoslav base and closed to the public for years. Due to this isolation, Vis retains a special charm - “the Mediterranean as it once was” making it really interesting to visit.

Situated on the northern side of the island, Vis has developed near the remains of the ancient Issa, the first urban center in Croatia. Sample local wines in one of the Vis traditional wineries. If interested, visit the remains of the Roman Thermal Place, City Museum or simply take a walk enjoying the views of the beautiful Villae Rusticae located along the waterfront.
