ITINERARY (7 days)
DAY 1 – Split
I sailed from Split to Milna on the island of Brac. Brac is one of the most mountainous islands of the Dalmatian Coast with the highest peak in the Adriatic. Moor overnight, either in the bays around Milna and Bobovisce or at the ACI marina within the town. Milna is a small town with locals and some restaurants. The cathedral is worth a visit.
Before leaving the island of Brac, visit the famous beach of Zlatni rat, also known as the Golden Horn.
DAY 2 – Vis
Sail from Milna to the city of Vis on the island of Vis, where the movie “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” was filmed. This is an island full of unusual beaches and caves. It also boasts some of the best bars and restaurants on the Dalmatian Coast. The island’s strategic location made it a coveted prize throughout history: Greeks, Romans, Venetians, Napoleon’s troops, the English, Austrians, and Italians during World War II. In 1945, it was used as a military base by the former Yugoslavia, isolating the island from the outside world. Tito and his soldiers established their headquarters at the highest point, Mount Hum, 587 meters high. You can still walk among the ruins of an ancient Roman naval outpost in the city of Vis or visit Tito’s cave, which served as a refuge for the communist leader.
Tips: Vis has its own wine, the Vugavu, and the Pocaga od slane ribe, a bread and sardine cake.
DAY 3 – Komiza
Sail from Vis to Komiza on the island of Vis. The southern side of the island offers plenty of places to stop and swim, such as Stoncica, Mala Travna, Srebrena Bay, and Stiniva Bay, which offer tranquility away from most tourists. We recommend Stiniva, a beautiful hidden cove among the rocks located on the south of the island, which can only be accessed by a narrow path or by boat. Stone cliffs surround this narrow beach of white pebbles, which barely opens up to 10 meters into the sea.
On the island of Bisevo, 5 nautical miles from Komiza, with only 6 square kilometers and about 20 inhabitants, you will find the Blue Cave or Modra Spilja. In it, every day from 11 am to 12 pm, a phenomenon of light refraction occurs, where sunlight enters the cave through an opening and reflects on the water up to a depth of 16 meters, illuminating the cave with blue and silver colors.
Also classified as a national monument like the Blue Cave, the Green Cave or Zelene Spilja on the island of Ravnik offers a similar phenomenon, but this time the tones are greenish.
DAY 4 – Lastovo
This day will involve one of the longest sailings from Komiza to the island of Lastovo. The island is surrounded by about 46 small islets with beautiful bays, cliffs, and almost untouched nature. This marvel, forming the archipelago of the same name, was declared a Natural Park in 2006. Stop at Zaklopatica Bay, which boasts excellent private mooring restaurants that prepare delicious lionfish dishes. Lobster is another specialty that can be tasted in the area.
DAY 5 – Korcula
An early visit to the town of Lastovo on a hill is an option before heading to the town of Korcula. On the way, you can stop to relax and swim at the beaches of Lumbarda, just six kilometers from the town of Korcula. They are some of the most visited beaches on the island and ideal for enjoying fresh fish and a cold beer at a beachside bar. One of those magical and enjoyable moments that make a vacation unforgettable.
The town of Korcula, which shares its name with the island where it is located, is often called mini Dubrovnik for being a charming city with a lot of history and the birthplace of Marco Polo.
DAY 6 – Hvar
An early visit to the town of Lastovo on a hill is an option before heading to the town of Korcula. On the way, you can stop to relax and swim at the beaches of Lumbarda, just six kilometers from the town of Korcula.

DAY 7 – Split
On your last day, you will set sail towards Split, the starting point of this itinerary. Here, you will disembark and return your boat. But before that, if you have some extra time, you can take a stroll through the city of Trogir.
