Arriving in Slano, we wander through this peaceful fishermen's village before continuing to Ston, a once fortified small village famous for its oysters.

The fish bone street pattern in Korcula Old Town was designed to reduce the effects of wind and sun and provide citizens with sheltered and comfortable accommodation. Korcula has an abundant choice of restaurants at which to enjoy a gourmet experience, plus numerous bars and clubs for those looking for evening entertainment, so why not head out and explore in the evening? There is also an optional excursion to a small village near Korcula for a typical Dalmatian dinner (fee paid on arrival – approx.

day 5 - Vis

Korcula - Vis. We cruise to the island of Vis, once a strategic Naval Yugoslav Base and closed to the public until 1991.

Vis town is situated on the northern side of the island, developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia. You'll want to try some exquisite local wine in one of Vis’s traditional wineries. Other things to do with your free time include exploring the remains of the Roman Thermal Place, visiting the City Museum or simply taking a walk to enjoy the view of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the waterfront.

EUR 18pp). We then continue towards the jet-set island of Hvar with a swim stop and lunch on board at the Pakleni Islands. Hvar is the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic and is known for its lavish lavender fields and breathtaking beauty. We'll enjoy a guided tour of the town, taking in highlights such as the Renaissance Cathedral with its original tower, and the oldest community theatre in Europe - founded in 1612.
