This salt-water lakes were formed about 10 000 years ago and were originally freshwater lakes until the Benedictine Monks dug out a channel to the sea.

In the evening, it’s time for our famous on-board "Pirate Party" (optional), with a special onboard BBQ of traditional Croatian cuisine, and fun games to play late into the night.

Mljet to Korcula (B/L)

Today, after breakfast, you will sail off to Lumbarda beach, a charming fishing village of around 1,200 inhabitants. Spend some time here swimming, sunbathing or doing one of the many optional water-sports and activities. Continue onto Korcula, a medieval walled city with indented coves, rolling hills and a walled old town that looks like a miniature Dubrovnik, mostly famous for being the birthplace of Marco Polo. After an orientation walk, enjoy the rest of the day on your own to wander the medieval streets and check out the markets and many hand-made jewelry shops.
