THE ITINERARY
Day 1: Saturday
DUBROVNIK
After meeting your Koda crew, we'll enjoy lunch on board before heading into the Old Town together to explore. You'll have time to take a ride on the cable car up to Srđ mountain for spectacular views of the Old Town, walk the famous city walls, or enjoy an afternoon Cider at the 'hole in the wall' bar and watch the local cliff divers wow you with their fearless leaps into the Adriatic.
Enjoy delicious seafood in the local restaurants and get ready for a night out on the town visiting local wine bars and finishing off at one of the best clubs in Europe. A night you won't forget!
Day 2: Sunday
DUBROVNIK to MLJET
We depart in the morning towards Mljet Island with a stop on the Pelješac peninsula for a refreshing swim. In the afternoon we take a visit to the salt lakes in Mljet National Park to enjoy the sun, sea and tranquility of this peaceful island.
In the middle of the large lake, inside the National park, you can visit the monastery and church on St. Mary isle. Overnight we dock in the port of Polača/Pomena.
Day 3: Monday
MLJET to KORCULA
We wave goodbye to Mljet and depart for Korčula, the birthplace of famous explorer Marco Polo. Enjoy lunch on board in the Lumbarda bay near to Korčula. With a late afternoon arrival into the port, there is plenty of time to swim this afternoon.
Once docked, you'll get an orientation of the Old Town where you can find more legends, tales and monuments than anywhere else. Listen to the story of the stone walls, which were built over two centuries ago. Meet the group for dinner and sunset cocktails in one of the numerous seafront restaurants looking out to sea. Stunning!
Day 4: Tuesday
KORCULA to HVAR
Morning departure towards the Pakleni Islands for lunch and a refreshing swim stop. We then head to one of Croatia's most popular islands, Hvar, the longest island in the Adriatic.
You'll have the afternoon to take in some of Hvar's highlights such as the hilltop fortress with postcard views of the surrounding islands and the town's old square. Here you can enjoy our wine tasting excursion with views of the 16th Century cathedral and bell tower.
Finish the night indulging in some of Europe's best nightlife entertainment. Experience the famous club Carpe Diem club, set on its very own island!
Day 5: Wednesday
HVAR to BOL
We leave the vibrant port of Hvar early and let you refresh in the Adriatic with a swim stop, before we arrive at the quaint town of Bol on the island of Brac.
We'll dock in the afternoon, enough time for you to explore the local markets on the way to the famous beach Zlatni Rat (the Golden Horn). This beach amazingly changes shape each day depending on the tide and strength of the current, as it is on one of the windiest peninsula's along the coast. Chill on the beach and watch the wind-surfers show off their high flying skills.
Tonight we enjoy a family dinner on board before dancing up a storm at the local open-aired bars along the port. This is Summer!
Day 6: Thursday
BOL to MAKARSKA
We leave the port of Bol early and let you refresh in the Adriatic with a swim stop, before an early arrival into the gem of the riviera, Makarska.
Here you'll have your chance to get the blood pumping with our optional river rafting excursion on the Cetina river. Then keep that adrenaline high (literally) as you zipline over the Cetina from one side of the mountain to the other.
In the afternoon you'll have plenty of time to check out the local markets, have fun with the water sports available or stroll through the old town.
Tonight you have the chance to taste some local specialities and experience the fun nightlife this town has on offer...cave bar anyone?
Day 7: Friday
MAKARSKA to SPLIT
We take it easy on our last sailing day making sure you have a chance to take one last jump off the boat and get that perfect shot to make all your friends at home jealous of your week long adventures here in Croatia.
After lunch we will start our journey back to Split where the last overnight stay is planned. Enjoy the views of the Split Riviera as we come in to port for the final time. Once we dock, join your Koda Sail Rep for a walk through the monumental city under UNESCO protection that belongs not only to Croatians, but also to you, as it is a part of the world heritage list. Discover an abundance of Roman architecture – of special interest is the Diocletian palace.
Meet up for a final dinner with your new friends, reflecting over what just may have been the best week of your life sailing Croatia! Can it get any better?
After breakfast the next morning, the Koda crew bids you farewell as you continue your adventures through Europe from the port of Split.
What are you waiting for? It's time to get on board.
Let's get sailing!
