You will be transferred from Split’s airport to Trogir port. Embarkation begins at 14:00h. Get settled in your cabin before going on a short orientation walk through this medieval city. Trogir is sometimes referred to as “miniature Venice” or a “mini-Dubrovnik” because of its ancient walls, or a “floating museum town” – as it has a masterful architecture including some stunning Venetian palaces.

DAY 4 – TUESDAY:                             HVAR – BISEVO – VIS

Leaving Island Hvar in the morning and sail towards Biševo island to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon on the islet Biševo just in front of the town of Komiža. The possibility of our visit will depend on weather conditions; however, you will be notified of this on time. Afterwards continue to Vis, once a strategic naval Yugoslav base and restricted to the public. Due to this isolation, Vis has a special charm – “the Mediterranean as it once was” making it interesting to visit. Since the independence of Croatia, the island began opening slowly to the outside world. Some of Europe’s largest and greatest naval battles have taken place in the waters around Vis. Vis Island holds many historic secrets and you can explore Vis history on your own by military Land Rover Defenders. Overnight in one of the harbors on the island of Vis. (B, L)
