SUMMARY
Today we set sail for the majestic island of Vis, one of the most outlying islands on the Dalmatian coast. Vis has been used over the centuries as a strategic military port and saw action by the Allied military through WWII against Italy and Germany.
It has only recently opened to commercial tourism and still retains a lot of its historical charm, as it is not frequently visited due to its location.
Vis is home to the stunning sandy beach of Stoncica Bay, where we’ll stop for a swim before heading into Vis Town.
OPTIONAL EXCURSION
SUMMARY
This morning we sail towards Stari Grad stopping for a refreshing swim stop along the way, for our second night on Hvar island. Situated on the northern side of the island, Stari Grad literally means 'Old Town' and it is the oldest town in Croatia. Stari Grad boasts an attractive network of old narrow streets and small squares around the harbour.
This afternoon you’ll have the option to visit the UNESCO protected world heritage site of Stari Grad, where you can explore a local farm and experience Croatian wine at its best!
