Description

An unusual cruise that visits the quieter part of the Croatian Coastline. We will stop in a bay every day for a swim, and in the evenings we will explore the many fine restaurants ashore.

Mali Losinj, likened to a mini Venice, is a beautiful small port, with fantastic ice cream. Vis was out of bounds to the public for many years as the HQ of the Yugoslav Navy, but is now open to everyone. The nearby Blue Cave is a charming sea cave (as long as the sea is calm) and the ancient towns of Sibenik and Zadar are quite stunning.
