Dalmatian Island Cruise
8 days Oldtimer - Relaxing Cruise in the Adriatic Archipelago
Introduction
With over a thousand islands, the Croatian Adriatic has some of the
best cruising in the Mediterranean. We'll explore several contrasting
Dalmatian Islands in a chartered and traditional 'Oldtimer' motor cruiser.
Unwind as we swim and snorkel in azure seas off deserted isles, ramble
pine-forested trails, savour the taste of fresh seafood and sip the
excellent local wines.
Vis Island & Blue Cave
Beginning in Trogir, we set sail, and cruise via Brac to the island
of Vis where we can use bicycles to explore the nearby Greek and Roman
ruins. Weather permitting we can also board dinghies to explore the
deep blue waters of the 'Blue Cave'.
Korcula & Lakes of Mljet
Then, cruising on to the island of Korcula, we spend time exploring
its marvellous medieval Old Town, one of the best preserved in the Adriatic.
Next we sail to the peaceful, pine-wooded bays of Mljet Island. Covered
in rich Mediterranean vegetation, flora and fauna, the island is now
protected as a national park. If you feel active, a walk or cycle along
the forest path to the 'Great Lake' is well worthwhile.
Scedro, Hvar & Trogir
We cruise through turquoise waters to tiny Scedro Island, before moving
on to Hvar - an island rich in laurel, palms, rosemary and oleander.
We could head inland to sample rural island life or just amble to the
Citadel or Dominican Monastery. Our last night is spent in Split where
we are spoilt with choice for restaurants. Finally a short journey takes
us back to Trogir, where there is time to explore this charming UNESCO
protected town.
