Tour
Individual arrival in Dubrovnik. Embarkation between 2 pm and 2.30 pm in the city harbor Gruž. At around 4.30 pm you have the opportunity to take part in a guided city tour of Dubrovnik. Here you will learn interesting details about the city's history and visit the most important sights. You will spend the night in Dubrovnik today, giving you the opportunity to enjoy this extraordinary city in the evening.
The day starts for you with a crossing from Dubrovnik to the nearby island of Sipan, which is the largest of the Elaphiti Islands, but still a rather small island. Once there, you start your first short cycle tour and explore the island of Sipan. After the beautiful cycle tour, you will stay overnight on this peaceful island.
In the morning, your boat will take you to the next island, the green island of Mljet. Green because 70% of it is forested, making it the most densely wooded island in the Mediterranean. Homer mentioned this beautiful island in his epic poem ‘Odyssey’. He made it home to the nymph Calypso and the legendary Greek king Odysseus, who could not resist Calypso and stayed on Mljet for seven years. After the cycle tour, you will reach Pomena and enjoy the crossing to the island of Korčula. The impressive town of Korčula rivals Venice when it comes to being the birthplace of the legendary explorer Marco Polo. On a guided tour through the uniquely arranged alleyways of the old town, which follow a herringbone pattern, you will immerse yourself in the exciting history of the city and the island and learn fascinating anecdotes along the way.
Today, the focus is on the island of Korčula. You will discover the entire island by bike. A Mediterranean climate and breathtaking scenery await you. Marvel at the beautiful views, rich vegetation and deep blue water. For many, the island is the most beautiful island in Dalmatia, decide for yourself after your day on the island whether you share this opinion. Enjoy dinner on board and spend the evening relaxing in the large, sheltered bay of Vela Luka on Korčula, where you will also spend the night today.
In the morning, during breakfast, you say goodbye to the island of Korčula and set course for the next island, Vis. On the way, you have the opportunity to jump into the cool water directly from your boat. Vis is the furthest inhabited island in Croatia from the mainland. A Greek colony called Issa was founded on the island 2300 years ago. In the afternoon, the next cycle tour is on the program for you, on which you will cycle around Vis. You take a coffee break in the harbor of Komiža. You will spend the evening and night in the port of Vis.
The day starts with a relaxing boat trip to the island of Hvar and the town of the same name. Once there, you will have time to stroll around the town and enjoy the view of the Spanish fortress towering high above the town before getting on your bikes. Your cycle tour today takes you from the town of Hvar through small villages and lavender fields across the ridge of the island to the harbour town of Stari Grad. After lunch on board, you get back on your bikes and take a tour to Jelsa, where you stop for an ice cream or coffee break. On the way back, you cycle through the pretty little town of Vrboska and to the famous Stari Grad field, which was parcelled out by the ancient Greeks and is now under UNESCO protection.
In the morning, you set sail for the island of Brač, famous for its brilliant white limestone, which was used to build the White House in Washington and the Reichstag in Berlin, among other things. Once you arrive on Brač in Milna, hop on your bikes and climb the island to marvel at the spectacular views of the Dalmatian coast. You then continue back to the coast to Postira, where your ship awaits you for lunch and the last crossing of the week to the UNESCO World Heritage city of Split. During a city tour of Split, you will have the opportunity to visit the former palace of Emperor Diocletian and learn more about its transformation into today's old town of Split. Afterwards, bring your eventful trip to a close with a cosy dinner and final evening on board and look back on your wonderful time in Dalmatia.
Disembarkation in Split after breakfast.
