DAY 2 Dubrovnik - Slano
Start your day off with a coach transfer to the Old Town for a guided sightseeing tour of Dubrovnik, the famous city enlisted as UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take the opportunity to explore the remains of this ancient city. After, enjoy some free time for further exploring before being transferred back to the boat. Set sail and enjoy lunch and swim stop enroute to Slano. Slano is the most picturesque places on the Dubrovnik Riviera. Discover beautiful beaches, dense pine forest, olive groves and historical monuments. Here you will be offered an Optional Excursion to Ston, a fortified town famous for its well-preserved town walls, old salt works, and oyster and mussel farms. Otherwise, the rest of the day is free to explore and find a cosy tavern for dinner.

DAY 3 Slano - Mljet - Korcula
Cruise towards the island of Mljet where upon arrival you can visit Mljet National Park. The park is well known for its versatile eco-system and two salt lakes (‘’Veliko jezero’’- Big Lake and ‘’Malo jezero’’- Small Lake), as well as for Benedictine Monastery from 12th century located on the St Mary’s Islet. You’ll have some free time to take a dip in the lakes, hire bikes or a kayak, or take a relaxing stroll around the park. Return to the boat for lunch and leave Mljet for the Island of Korcula. The city of Korcula is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the Mediterranean and is thought to be the birthplace of the renowned explorer Marco Polo.

DAY 4 Korcula - Vis
Your voyage continues to Vis with lunch on board and a swim stop enroute. Arrive in Vis in the afternoon where you will have free time to explore the town at your own pace. Being closed during the time of ex-Yugoslavia, this wonderful island is still like an unspoiled and preserved oasis. Though if Vis looks and sounds familiar to you these days, it could be because the island was used as the setting for Mama Mia 2. The afternoon is free to explore - perhaps visit the remains of the Roman Thermal Place, the City Museum or simply take a walk enjoying the views of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the waterfront. There are many excellent restaurants and taverns along the promenade where you can enjoy a glass of local wine and try some fresh seafood which the island is known for.

After a relaxing swim stop and lunch, continue your navigation towards the island of Hvar. Upon arrival in Hvar Town, join a guided walking tour and learn about the city’s rich history, beautiful architecture and important landmarks like the Cathedral of St. Stephen, Spanish Fortress, and the Hvar Arsenal which houses the oldest public theatre in Europe dating back to 1612. Later on, you will have free time to try one of the many restaurants, bars and cafes and soak in the nightlife.
