You can also take a boat ride to St. Mary's Isle in the Great Lake, where an old church and monastery are situated. After lunch, continue to Korcula, the supposed birthplace of the famous explorer and adventurer Marco Polo.

Meals included: Breakfast and lunch
Day 3 Korcula - Bisevo - Vis
This morning, you'll cruise towards Bisevo and its stunning Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon where you will have the option to take a small boat tour to explore inside. Continue towards the island of Vis which due to its unique geographical position, was a strategic stronghold for the navy and was closed to the public until recently. Because of its isolation from tourism and development, Vis has a special charm as ‘the Mediterranean as it once was'. Developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia, there are ruins to visit or simply relax at the beach or stroll along the 'Villae Rusticae'.
Please note: Visit to Blue Cave is dependent on weather conditions as sometimes high tide can prevent entry. Your Captain will advise the conditions and accessibility the morning of scheduled visit.
Meals included: Breakfast and lunch
Day 4 Vis - Hvar

The evening is free to discover the town's many restaurants and bars.
Meals included: Breakfast and lunch
Day 5 Hvar - Brac - Makarska
Today, continue to Brac and the town of Bol, a typical Dalmatian fisherman's village. Bol is best known for its famous Zlatni Rat beach (Golden Horn), a beach that is constantly changing shape due to tides and winds. After a swim stop, continue towards Makarska which has an abundance of churches and other cultural sites. Enjoy the magic of this central spot on the Makarska Riviera, strolling among the many restaurants and bars and an interesting beach promenade.

In the morning, head towards Pucisca also on the island of Brac, where you'll experience the village’s authentic Mediterranean architecture and rustic ambience. There is a possible optional to visit the Stone-masonry workshop, one of the few left in Europe. Here you would learn about the famous Brac limestone and their centuries-old tradition of stonemasonry and the unconventional tools used. The precious limestone from this region have been used to decorate the facade of the White House in Washington DC, the Budapest Parliament Building and many other landmarks all over the world. Gather together for a Captain's dinner on board tonight.
