DAY 3       Monday

Early in the morning we leave the island of Hvar and navigate towards Peljesac peninsula, to a small village called Kucista. From this village we will embark on one of the most difficult hikes of the week, to the highest peak of the peninsula at the altitude of 961 m. The spectacular views will be well worth the steep and difficult climb of about 4 hrs. After climbing down back to the ship we will continue navigation further south, to the small village of Lumbarda on the island of Korcula, for a peaceful evening.
Walking time: approx. 7 hours​

DAY 4        Tuesday

While we enjoy our breakfast the boat will take us to the lush green island of Mljet. Mljet National Park (entrance tickets not included) is a beautiful area of two connected salty lakes and in one of them there is another island with a 12th c. Benedictine monastery. This is an easy day of leisure after a difficult climb of the previous day. You can take a swim, go for a walk or even rent bikes and go for a ride. In the afternoon we continue navigation to the medieval town of Korcula which, along with Venice, proclaims to be the birthplace of Marco Polo. Overnight in Korcula.
Walking time: approx. 2 hours

Korčula is the island with the most abundant vegetation on the Adriatic. Our hike today takes us through vineyards and olive tree groves up to Pupnat, one of the oldest villages in Croatia, at the altitude of 370 m. After refreshments we head back down to Korcula where our ship awaits us to take us to the other end of the island, to a town of Vela Luka where we spend the night.
Walking time: approx. 4 hours

DAY 6       Thursday

Early in the morning we start navigation to the island of Brac and the town of Bol, known for its famous Golden Horn beach (about 2.5 km from the center). Our afternoon hike takes us to a tiny village of Murvica from where we start a visit to the Dragon Cave. Dragon Cave is a spectacular site, most famous for its reliefs which are not completely defined yet. During medieval times the Cave was a sanctuary for Glagolitic priests. It is a protected site and visit is only allowed with a local guide (not included in price; to be paid to guide on the spot). The visit to Cave excluding the hike takes about 2 hours before heading back to the ship. Overnight in Bol.
