  • From the majestic sailboat to the enchanting streets of Trogir and breathtaking islands like Brač, Hvar, and Korčula, each moment unveils a new treasure of nature and history. Over 8 days, you’ll find serenity in Mljet's hidden bays and succumb to the allure of Dubrovnik, where ancient walls and a storied past converge with a touch of fantasy. Allow the Adriatic's enchantment to become a chapter in your own story, as you sail through its azure waters and discover the wonders that await at every turn.

    • Step foot in the captivating city of Trogir — a beautiful central Dalmatian city surrounded by historical UNESCO-protected buildings. Take a walk on your own and discover the charm of narrow cobbled streets and historical stunning waterfront, and meet your guides and skipper around 4 PM. Once you board the sailboat, treat yourself to a welcome drink and traditional Dalmatian and Slavionian delicacies.
