SUMMARY
The Famed Favourites itinerary covers the most popular highlights Dalmatia has to offer across 7 incredible days.
Commencing in the waterfront city of Split, this itinerary heads south through the islands of Brac, Vis and Hvar before returning back to ACI Marina, Split. This star studded itinerary spends two days at each island, allowing you to discover the charm of each location on the island and really get to know your destination.
ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS
SUMMARY
Upon arriving at Split Airport, your included Airport Transfer will transport you to ACI Marina, where your Private Yacht Tour will begin! If you arrive earlier than check in time, check out the beautiful Old Town of Split, located a short stroll away. Split is well known for its stunning Diocletian's Palace, a 4th Century structure created by the Roman emperor, Diocletian.
Once home to thousands, its sprawling remains include more than 200 buildings, cobbled stone streets and charming courtyards, cafes, galleries and cafes all waiting to be explored!
This is also a good time to purchase any food, toiletries, or other supplies you’ll need for the week. We would only recommend purchasing enough for the first day or two as there are plenty of stores at each destination to stock up on food throughout the week.
USEFUL INFORMATION
SUMMARY
Depart on a short, yet impressive sail from Split to Supetar - the main town on Brac island. Located on the northern side of Brac and surrounded by thick pine forest, Supetar is a great introduction to the beautiful Dalmatian coastline, ensuring you make the most of your first night!
If Croatian cuisine is on your must-try list, then you’re in the perfect location, with plenty of local restaurants in town! Supetar has a population of just over 3,000 people, and is small enough that all sights can be reached by a leisurely walk.
The history of this island goes back as far as the Roman colonisation, which took place around 100 BC, meaning that many historical attractions on the island (including churches, quarries and museums) are all waiting to be explored.

SUMMARY
A charming and elegant island, Vis is mostly known for its military background (it was a strategic military post in WWII), traditional way of life, and stunning natural phenomena; the Blue Caves. Vis was once known as the “Forbidden Island” and was off limits to foreigners until 1992. Today, the island is quickly growing into a vibrant tourist destination.
A benefit of the lack of tourism until 20 years ago is that a traditional way of life has been maintained, providing an insight into authentic Croatia, preserved buildings and a thriving fishing community. Renting a bike or scooter is a great way to get around Vis and really take in this scenic island streaked with vineyards, charming villages, and sun-soaked mountains.

OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS
SUMMARY
Leave Vis Town behind and sail around to the charming village of Komiza, also on the island of Vis. Komiza is located on the southern edge of Vis island, set at the foot of a spectacular mountain range! The contrast of eclectic terracotta rooftops and the quaint harbour make for many gorgeous photos against the beautiful backdrop of the Adriatic Sea.
Komiza is the nearest town to the island of Bisevo, home to the spectacular natural phenomenon that is the Blue Caves. There’s no shortage of things to do if you would rather stay on dry land, including exploring dozens of military bunkers, bases, fortresses and museums. The cave offers rewarding views to those who make the climb.
Both Vis and Komiza/Blue Caves can be done in one day if you prefer to spend more time elsewhere on the islands (Hvar is a popular choice).

After spending the last couple of days uncovering the rich past of Vis Island, we set sail for Hvar. Famous for its lavender production, sun-soaked days, cobbled streets, and buzzing, vibrant nightlife, Hvar never disappoints.
Climb the Spanjola Fortress and get snap-happy with the iconic view over Hvar. This is also a great place to watch the town bask in the beautiful glow of sunset. Hvar has plenty of waterfront cafes and narrow streets leading to secluded local restaurants for an unforgettable evening meal. If Hvar’s nightlife is on your radar, head out to Carpe Diem or Nautica Bar!
Hvar boasts an enchanting atmosphere; anything is possible here on the sunniest island in Croatia!

Stari Grad is steeped in history (the name Stari Grad even translates to ‘Old Town’), and is today an up-and-coming travel destination. You can explore Stari Grad on foot and take in its network of cobblestone streets, small squares and boutique galleries. There is no shortage of bars, cafes and restaurants along the harbourfront to enjoy as the sun goes down, so make sure you secure your sunset viewing spot with a cocktail in hand!
From Stari Grad, you can join in on an optional wine tasting excursion to a small vineyard, where you will get to sample fresh olive oil, wine and cheese from the UNESCO protected Stari Grad plain.
