Saturday. Dubrovnik - Sipan/Slano. Departure from Dubrovnik Harbour Gruz at 1pm today, cruise along the south Dalmatian Coast down to one of the Elaphite Islands - Sipan or to the small village Slano, where we overnight.

Sipan/Slano - Mljet - Korcula. We continue our journey towards one of the greenest Adriatic Islands - Mljet. This afternoon we take time to enjoy the beauties of the National Park, two salt lakes connected by a narrow channel to the sea and a boat ride to the St Mary Isle in the Great Lake, where the old church and monastery are situated. Enjoy a swim in lakes or cycling around them. After lunch, we continue towards Korcula, the birthplace of famous explorer and adventurer Marco Polo. Surrounded by medieval walls, Korcula resembles a miniature Dubrovnik when approaching from the sea. The town has more legends, tales and monuments than you can find anywhere else. Today, Korcula is the only place in the world where the Spanish medieval knight's game – Moreska is still performed. Before arriving in Korcula in the afternoon hours, we stop for a swim in one of the beautiful little bays. Upon arrival enjoy a walk through the streets of the old town, built in the shape of a fish bone. Visit the numerous konobas/taverns, restaurants, cocktail bars or night-clubs located within and around the city walls.
Day 3: Stunning Vis And Optional Blue Cave Visit
Location: Korčula, Vis
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch
Korcula - Vis. This morning we cruise towards the little island of Biševo and visit the Blue cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon. Our next destination is the island of Vis, which was because of its unique geographical position, a strategic harbour for the Navy and was closed to the public until recently. Because of this isolation, Vis has a special charm, ‘the Mediterranean as it once was’ which makes it a really interesting place to see. We overnight in the town of Vis, situated on the northern side of the island, developed near the remains of the ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia. If interested, visit the remains of the Roman Thermal Place, City Museum or simply take a walk and enjoy the views of the beautiful Roman styled villas along the waterfront.

Hvar Town offers many cultural and historical sites, the Renaissance Cathedral, the oldest communal theatre in Europe founded in 1612, Franciscan Monastery, the Benedictine Convent famous for their lace and listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, Spanjola Fortress towering above the town... plus enjoy the many restaurants, bars and nightclubs open late.
