Early morning departure towards the island of Brač and the town of Bol, best known for Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn), Croatia’s most iconic beach. This natural phenomenon shifts its shape with the wind and waves, making it different every time you see it. Continue to the island of Vis, once a strategic Yugoslav naval base that remained closed to the public for decades. Thanks to that isolation, the island kept its authenticity, often described as “the Mediterranean as it once was.” Today, it’s valued for exactly that. Your overnight stay will be in Vis or Komiža (depending on berth availability). Both towns sit near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban center in Croatia, and each has its own distinct charm. Explore the waterfront, visit the Roman Thermal Baths or the City Museum, or simply enjoy the slow rhythm of island life. In the late afternoon, sample local wines during a tasting at a winery before settling in for the night.
