Malta, Apulia, (Brindisi), Cavtat
From Malta via Apulia to Cavtat this yacht voyage runs from the central Mediterranean into the southern Adriatic. Appealing harbours combine with longer passages, some at night, on the way north.
Highlights
- Malta: departure from honey-coloured Valletta with its natural harbour.
- Apulia: the heel of Italy with its Adriatic port towns.
- Brindisi: an ancient port, once the end of the Via Appia.
- Cavtat: the quiet coastal town south of Dubrovnik at the destination.
A yacht voyage with beautiful stops for watersports and time ashore, but also longer legs sailed in part through the night. For everyone who enjoys the sailing itself.

The Route
Malta
7 nights
Cavtat
How the route could go:
-
Malta (Malta) · Embarkation
Malta lies at the heart of the Mediterranean and combines 7,000 years of history. Megalithic temples (older than the pyramids), the fortress city of Valletta (UNESCO), the main island of Gozo and the azure Comino lagoon make Malta the most history-rich archipelago in Europe.
-
Apulia
-
(Brindisi)
Brindisi lies on the heel of the Italian boot in Apulia and has been the gateway to the East since antiquity. The Roman Via Appia ended here, and today ferries depart for Greece and Albania.
-
Cavtat · Disembarkation
Cavtat lies 20 km south of Dubrovnik on a curved bay. The former ancient Epidaurum with remains of the Roman aqueduct, the elegant seafront promenade and the Račić Mausoleum (Ivan Meštrović) make Cavtat the quieter alternative to Dubrovnik.
The route of a sailing voyage may change without giving rise to mutual claims.
