Our itinerary:
Dreaming of clear water, a place full of history, and wine and food to die for, then make your way to Croatia.
This 8 day trip was full of history, natural wonders and great food and wine. We flew through London-Heathrow to get to Split, Croatia (there are way more airline options for Split than you would think) and then spent the next 6 days exploring the area by sea.
Day 1: BRAC - Veliki Drvenik (Blue Lagoon), Osibuva, Milna
Day 2: VIS - Ravnik (Green Cave), Rogacic (submarine tunnel)
Day 3: VIS - Bisevo (Blue Cave), Komiza
Day 4: HVAR - Stari Grad, Fortica (castle)
Day 5: BRAC/SOLTA - Zlatni Rat (Bol), Maslinca (wine tasting)
Day 6: SPLIT - Trogir (castle), Krka (water falls)
There are hundreds of places to see but we selected what we think are some of the best spots for our first trip. We had some great experiences during the trip thanks to:
Wine Tasting and Degustation on Solta: Agroturizam Kastelanac -
Tour of the Blue Cave FROM Komiza, Vi: Alternatura Tourist Agency -
Scooter Rental in Stari Grad: Park Scooter Rental - +385 91 536 6108
We drove our way out to Hvar Town to see the Fortica
Things here are done a little differently than in the Caribbean.. So here’s a few suggestions for your vacation.
1 - The more hands the better. We suggest at least 3 people onboard to help with the advanced level anchoring and docking.
2 - Arrive by 3pm in the harbours with town quays to ensure your spot. It will cost you $80-100 USD for a monohull. But it’s more convenient than anchoring or picking up a mooring in another bay. Reservations can be made for the Marinas, but they are more expensive.
3- There are plenty of places to eat with REALLY good food and it’s affordable. So enjoy the local food and don’t plan to eat aboard for dinner.
4 - Make sure you bring plenty of cash and exchange it into Kuna - preferably before you get to Split. Most places don’t except Euros (yes, they are part of the EU - but they have their own currency) and there are lots of places that only except cash. There are ATMs available in most cities and at The Moorings Base, but you’ll be charged a transaction fee by your bank. NOTE: Town quays can only be paid for with cash.
