We thoroughly enjoyed the trip, all the ports and the food. The cabins were very average. Rene U

After a swimming break at the horn and lunch, we continue our journey towards Stari Grad on the Hvar island, the sunniest Adriatic island. Free afternoon to explore this unique town. The famous Stari Grad Field is the oldest in Croatia and the best-preserved example of an ancient Greek system of agriculture. Together with the old town, it is a part of world heritage protected by UNESCO. Overnight in one of the ports of Stari Grad, main or ferry port (2 km away) depending on availability in port.

Early in the morning cruise towards the little Biševo island to visit the Blue Cave (entrance fee to be paid on the spot), a magnificent natural phenomenon. The cruise continues towards the island of Vis, once a strategic navy harbour due to its unique geographical position and as such closed to the public until recently. Because of its isolation, Vis has a special charm, ‘the Mediterranean as it once was’ which makes it interesting to see. Overnight is in the town of Vis, situated on the northern side of the island, developed near the remains of the ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia. If interested, visit the remains of the Roman Thermal Place, and City Museum or simply take a walk enjoying the view of the beautiful ''Villae Rusticae'' situated along the coast.
During breakfast, we depart towards Korčula, the birthplace of the famous explorer and adventurer Marco Polo. Surrounded by medieval walls, Korčula resembles a miniature Dubrovnik when approaching from the sea. It has more legends, tales, and monuments than you will find anywhere else. Today, Korčula is the only place in the world where the Spanish medieval knight's game – Moreška is still performed. Enjoy the numerous konobas (taverns), restaurants, cocktail bars, or nightclubs located within and around the city walls. Overnight in one of the ports of Korčula, depending on availability (the main port in the town centre/ port of Dominče / ferry port (3 km away).

Free time to enjoy the beauties of the National Park. Two salt lakes are connected to the sea by a narrow channel, take a boat ride to the St Mary isle in the Great Lake, where the old church and monastery are situated. Enjoy cycling around, canoeing, or swimming in the lakes. The cruise resumes towards Šipan, part of Elaphite islands near Dubrovnik, or towards Slano on the coastline. Both are small fishermen's villages, in one of which we will stay overnight in the port and have the Captain's dinner onboard.
Early in the morning, depart towards the final destination – a true pearl of the Adriatic. After lunch short swim stop.

Split to Dubrovnik in comfort
The cruise from Dubrovnik to Split on the boat Vapor was excellent in every way; the cabin was comfortable and clean. The crew were very helpful, courteous and efficient. The islands we visited were interesting and well-chosen and our tour director was really excellent; he had a delightful combination of knowledge and humor. I would happily do it all again. Sue Z
