Finally, we recommend having a stroll through the city or perhaps seek refreshment at one of the numerous cafes.
Monday
We will pass by numerous islands on our way to the Sibenik archipelago. We will then set sail towards a cove on the island of Kaprije, Kakan or Zirje and take a swimming break. Afterwards we will head towards Zlarin, a fishing town on the island bearing the same name and spend the night.
Tuesday
Sibenik was first mentioned in 1066 and is the youngest of the larger cities on the coast. However, at the same time it is the oldest Croatian city. It was not founded by the Greeks or the Romans or even the Byzantines, it was founded by the Croats. The most famous building in the historical core of the city is the fortress-like St. Jacob’s Cathedral, the most significant Renaissance monument in Croatia. After a stroll through the city we will continue our sail down the Krka River. We will anchor in Skradin, not far from the famous Krka waterfalls. Here you can take a boat to the National Park. You will also have the opportunity of visiting "Skradinski buk", the most famous part of the waterfalls; a single 800 m drop that turns into 17 waterfalls and up to a hundred meters of cascades 45.7 meters high. Under no circumstances should you forget your bathing suit because you won’t want to miss a chance to go swimming in the crystal clear river right underneath the falls. It truly is a unique experience (admission to the National Park, which includes a boat ride is 8 €). Overnight stay in the port in Skradin.
Wednesday
We will sail downriver and return to the waters of the Adriatic Sea. We will pass by the islands of Veli and Mali Drvenik and reach the island of Solta and take a swimming break in one of the coves on the northwestern side of the island. Today’s destination will be the fishing town of Stomorska on the northeastern coast. The island is famous for its olives, which yield high quality, very dark olive oil.
Thursday
We will sail through Splitska Vrata, a narrow passage between the islands of Solta and Brac towards Hvar – an island famous for its mild climate and lavender fields. Lavender can also be purchased on the island – in form of ethereal oil sold in small bottles, or in dried form, sold in small cloth bags that not only make your wardrobe smell nice but also protect your clothing from moths. Hvar, the capital town of the island, lies at the foot of a fortress with a fantastic view of the Pakleni otoci (islands). After a short visit to Hvar we will sail on to Stari Grad. Stari Grad lies on the north side of the island in a 7 km-long cove and is also the oldest settlement on the island. Overnight stay in Stari Grad.
Friday
Only two hours of sailing from Stari Grad are required to reach the most famous beach in Dalmatia known as Zlatni Rat on Bol, on the island of Brac. The tip of this pebble beach stretches 400 m into the sea and its shape is constantly changing as a result of the sea currents. We will drop anchor near Zlatni Rat where you will have enough time to go swimming. We will raise anchor in the afternoon and head towards Milna. Milna lies in a sheltered cove on the western side of the island. Overnight stay in Milna.
Saturday
We will depart from the island of Brac and head towards the mainland. After sailing for more than an hour we will dock at the port in Split. Split is the capital city of Dalmatia and the second largest city in Croatia. This 1700 years old city was built around the palace of the Roman king Diocletian. You will have enough time to have a stroll through the city before we head towards Trogir, a city under the protection of UNESCO and also known the “city of museums.” It is quite an experience to walk through the intricate streets either in the afternoon or evening, admire the city walls, defensive fortresses, churches, frescoes and arches and take a peak into old courtyards.
Sunday
We will depart from the city of Trogir and set sail towards the next island on our route, to drop anchor in one of the numerous coves. We will arrive in the lively tourist town of Vodice. Enjoy a glass of wine at one of the many pleasant taverns or bars.
Monday
On the last day of creation God decided to crown his work and thus from the stars, his tears and breath he created Kornati islands“, wrote the Irish writer George Bernard Shaw. Beautiful nature, numerous small and large islands (as the old saying goes: one island for every day of the year) and a beautiful sea make the Kornati islands a unique paradise. They are the largest island cluster on the Adriatic, numbering 147 islands, islets and rocks with a total land area of 69 km2, stretched over 230 km2. They also stretch 13 km between the island of Dugi Otok to the northwest, Zirje and Pasman to the southeast and Vrgade and Murter to the north and northeast. We will sail through the Kornati islands, stop at one of the coves in the northern region and go for a swim. Overnight stay in Sali on the island of Dugi Otok.
