- Mljet: a national park with two salt lakes and dense pine forests.
- Dubrovnik: the famous city walls above the old town at journey’s end.

The Route
Trogir
7 nights
Dubrovnik/Cavtat
How the route could go:
-
Trogir · Embarkation
Trogir on the Dalmatian coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as one of the best-preserved Romanesque-Gothic complexes in Central Europe. The Cathedral of St. Lawrence with the famous west portal by Master Radovan is the highlight.
-
Vis
Vis is the most remote of the larger Dalmatian islands (60 km off the coast). A military restricted zone until 1989, the island is today an untouched insider tip - the Blue Cave on Biševo, Tito's wartime hideout and the fishing village of Komiža define Vis.
-
Hvar
Hvar is Croatia's sunniest island (2,800 hours of sunshine a year). Its medieval capital, Hvar Town, and the lavender fields inland make it one of the most elegant addresses on the Adriatic. Above the town stands the 16th-century Venetian fortress Fortica (Španjola) - the climb rewards you with a sweeping view over the red rooftops, the harbour and the Pakleni islands. In the evening the harbour turns into an open-air stage, and the legendary Carpe Diem club on the Riva is Hvar's glamorous heart. Just offshore lies the Pakleni island of Sveti Klement with Palmižana marina, whose centrepiece is an open-air art gallery in the subtropical Meneghello garden; a tender or ferry makes it easy to hop between Hvar Town and Palmižana.
-
Mljet
Mljet is one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic - over 70 per cent is national park, with two saltwater inland lakes and a tiny monastery island (12th century) at their centre. Legend has it that Odysseus spent seven years here with Calypso.
-
Korcula (Korčula)
Korčula is considered the birthplace of Marco Polo and is one of the most beautiful medieval towns on the Adriatic: Venetian palazzi, Gothic churches and towers on a small peninsula - Dubrovnik in miniature.
-
Dubrovnik/Cavtat · Disembarkation
Dubrovnik and neighbouring Cavtat lie about 20 kilometres apart on Croatia's southern Adriatic coast. Dubrovnik, with its UNESCO-listed city walls, is the famed Pearl of the Adriatic, while quieter Cavtat often serves as an overflow anchorage and tender transfer port during peak times.
