Saturday
From 11.30 to 13.00 boarding in Zadar, meeting and getting to know the crew and other passengers. After that we release the ropes and head towards Zirje or Prvic where we will make our first swimming break. We head further towards Vodice, lively tourist destination. Enjoy the evening with a glass of wine in one of many pleasant taverns or restaurants. Boarding again in the evening which arrive by plane and which will be driven to Vodice.
Sunday
Several miles further South, we leave the Adriatic and enter the estuary of river Krka. Our next stop is Sibenik. Town Sibenik was first mentioned in 1006. It is the youngest of cities on the coast but at the same time the oldest Croatian town. It was not founded by neither Greeks nor Romans nor Byzantium but Croats. The best known building in the old town center is St. Jacob cathedral, most significant Renaissance monument in Croatia, which resembles a fortress. After walking around town we sail further down the river Krka. We anchor and Skradin, not far from well known Krka's waterfalls. Ships sail here that can get you to national park. If you have the possibility to visit "Skradinski buk", best known of the waterfalls, where Krka falls into 17 waterfalls in one fall of 800 m, and one hundred meters of wide cascades from the height of 45,7 m. Be sure not to forget your swimming stuff because swimming in crystal clear Krka just beneath the waterfalls is a unique event. (Entrance the National Park which includes a boat ride costs 8 € payable at the spot). We return to the Adriatic and sail toward Zlarin, a fishermen's town on the same-called island in which port we will stay the night.
Monday
On our sailing trip toward the South, we will stop in one of many bays for a swim. After a several-hour break we sail further to Trogir, town under the auspices of UNESCO, which is also called "Town-museum". It is a great experience walking in the afternoon or in the evening down the labyrinth of narrow streets, admire the walls, towers, churches, frescoes and vaults or just take a glimpse here and there into the old courtyards. Spending the night in Trogir.
Tuesday
Today we drive somewhat longer in our boat. We head towards "the forbidden island" of Vis which was closed to all foreign visitors until the 1980-ies. There used to be a military air force takeoff and landing runway of on the island. Meanwhile, local residents have planted grapevine that has been growing there ever since. We spend the night in Komiža, a peaceful and quiet town on the western part of the island. The most striking characteristic of this island is its lush subtropic vegetation growing everywhere. The town of Vis is the oldest town in Dalmatia. It was founded by Dionysus of Syracuse in 397 BC and named Issa, as the first Greek colony on the eastern coast of the Adriatic. We spend the night in Vis, which is a quiet town situated in a protected bay on the northern part of the island. In case of bad weather we'll replace it for the island of Hvar, since the island of Vis is situated relatively far out on the open sea.
Wednesday
We head in direction of land again, more accurately Primosten or Rogoznica, two pleasant tourist fishermen's towns. Interestingly, they both lay on small islets connected to land with narrow embankments. After usual swimming break, we will anchor in one of those two ports and spend the night there.
Thursday
"On the last day of creation God decided to crown his deed and thus created Kornati out of tears, stars and breath", wrote Irish writer George Bernard Shaw. Wonderful nature, numerous small and large islands (it is said: an island for every day of a year), beautiful sea, all this makes Kornati unique paradise. They are the larges island group in the Adriatic, counting 147 islands, islets and rocks with total surface of 69 km2, scattered on an area of 230 km2. They stretch over a length of 35 km and width of about 13 km between Long Island on Northwest, Zirje and Pasman on Southeast and Vrgade and Murter on Northe and Northeast. We will sail Kornati along its entire length and stop in one bay on its northern part to swim. We are staying the night in Sala on Long Island.
Friday
Before we head back to Zadar, we will anchor in one of many bays on the island of Ugljan to take one more swimming break. After dinner there will be a tourist guide waiting in Zadar to take our guest to a tour around the mighty city walls that encompass the town. He/she will show you the most important sights of the town such as the Roman forum, St. Donat church, St. Stosija cathedral and unique sea organs whose sounds and melodies are created by the waves. In the end we recommend walking around town on your own or maybe having a drink in one of many cafés. With a little luck you might come across a "klapa" vocal singing group rehearsing their songs in the open air.
Saturday
Leaving after breakfast cca. 9 am.
