• Meals: Dinner

On the first day you’ll arrive into the historic, coastal town of Trogir. Embarkation time aboard your first class yacht is between 14:00 and 14:30, with 15:00 marking the start of our journey as we set sail to Hvar Island.

One of the oldest towns in Europe, Stari Grad was founded in 384 BC by the ancient Greeks, and is the second largest settlement on the Island of Hvar. Here we have time to soak up the relaxed and cultured atmosphere and enjoy Hvar at a more leisurely pace. Tonight we will stay overnight in Stari Grad.

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

This morning we will set off on our first cycling adventure, leading us through practically traffic free roads and idyllically positioned villages. Hvar island is home to beautiful lavender fields so keep your eyes (and nose!) open and be sure to stop and take in the aromas. We’ll visit the magnificent Renaissance Square and enjoy the sights up to the Spanish Fortress, situated high above the city.

We’ll then hop back on board and cross over to Vis Island where we’ll stay overnight.

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

We’ll spend today exploring the Island of Vis, the furthermost island from mainland Croatia and the most intriguing. The Greek colony, Issa, arrived on the island 2,300 years ago. Due to its strategic location it was a military zone in WWII and was closed off from foreign tourists during the 1950’s right up until 1989. Today we’ll have the opportunity to explore this extraordinary island by bicycle.

If you are a wine lover you may be interested to know that Vis has its own distinct grape, the Vugava, a white varietal that’s been cultivated here since ancient times. The boat will then take us to the Island of Korcula where we’ll reside in the deep sheltered bay of Vela Luka overnight.

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch

Today we’ll discover the island of Korcula by bike whilst working up an appetite! The rewards for the week’s longest ride will be plentiful as we get to enjoy a well deserved lunch at one of the local restaurants, where we can taste some Dalmatian specialties. The calmness and remoteness of the vast vegetation and cypress gardens have given shape to possibly the most beautiful Dalmatian island.

Enjoy the sights of the vineyards and olive groves as our route leads us past the village of Blato which, like ancient Rome, was built on seven hills. Cycling onwards along a pass road across Pupnat bay, we’ll finally reach Korcula town. We’ll have time here to take a walk through the medieval walled town with its narrow, fish-bone like, alleyways.

There is a local legend that Marco Polo was born in Korcula Town and Marco Polo’s alleged house of birth is worth visiting!

• Meals: Breakfast, dinner

We’ll take a gentle cruise to the island of Brac this morning, famous for its white pebble beaches and shining white marble rock (used for the Reichstag in Berlin and some sources even say the White House). After a refreshing dip in the sea, we’ll start our cycle tour from Sumartin; the route leads us through Selca and onto the picturesque harbouring town of Pucisca, which is our haven for the night. The harbour is home to one of the most famous masonry schools in Croatia, and the students’ creations decorate the harbour village.

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

We’ll enjoy a relaxing breakfast as we make the short crossing to Omiš. As we cycle from Omiš through the valley of the Cetina River, we’ll take a moment to take in our surroundings of sparkling freshwater rivers and impressive rugged cliffs.

Today you’ll have a choice; either to take part in a rafting tour on the Cetina River (not included in the tour price) or, if you don’t fancy rafting and want to stick with your two wheeled steed, you will cycle the outskirts of the canyon with great views over the river and back down towards the sea.The rafting group will be picked up from the boat by a bus and are taken up river to the starting point. From here we follow the river downstream in the rafts gaining a unique perspective of the canyon and its flora and fauna. Participants of the rafting trip are brought back to the boat in the bus after the activity.

In the afternoon our ship will take us to Split. The old town of Split, built adjoining the famous palace of the Roman Caesar Diocletian, is a world heritage site.

• Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

After crossing over to Rogac, on the Island of Solta, we’ll start our final ride. Walled fields, numerous olive groves, locust bean and fig trees line the roads. The herbal smell of rosemary accompanies us along our tour through this island. Our boat will await us in Rogac and we’ll enjoy our last crossing back to Trogir where, if time permits, we can take a tour of the old town which is a world heritage site.

The last evening aboard our ship, and we’ll continue with our newly found tradition of enjoying a communal dinner in a cosy atmosphere. A final get-together with the crew, tour guides and fellow travelers!

• Meals: Breakfast

After breakfast, disembarkation until 09:00am and journey home or onwards.
