Brač may be one of many when it comes to islands off the Croatian coast, but this Dalmatian island is unmatched when it comes to natural beauty and must-visit attractions. Beaches of fine white pebbles ribbon its coastline, and cycling paths and hiking trails crisscross the island, passing through age-old villages, lush olive groves, and neat rows of vineyards.

Hvar Island – Korčula Island

Breakfast | Wine Tasting | Lunch in local taverna incl wine

Breakfast on board and sailing towards the island of Korčula – it is one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic Sea, with abundant vineyards and olive groves. The dense woods led the original Greek settlers to call the island Korkyra Melaina (Black Korčula). Quiet coves and small sandy beaches dot the steep southern coast while the northern shore is flatter and more pebbly.

Just before the lunch we’ll do a 5 S’s (SEE, SWIRL, SNIFF, SIP, SAVOR) at local winery. You’ll get a chance to taste famous POŠIP and GRK– a grape variety unique to Korčula. We’ll have lunch in amazing Local Taverna where authentic cuisine full of flavor has been served to guests for over two decades. Homemade food, including bread, the highly recommended pasta served with various sauces, goats’ cheese, olive oil, home-grown vegetables, and the traditional and more personalized desserts. Just recently they have received a green Michelin star that serves as a recognition of the inspiring commitment in favor of sustainability and more responsible gastronomy.

In the early evening join us with our private local guide who will take you on a unique tour of the old town of Korčula. You will hear many interesting stories and legends about the city and the life of Marco Polo, the most famous son of Korčula. It is still the most famous as the birthplace of Marco Polo who was probably born here in 1254. Today it’s a town where you can vividly feel the Mediterranean spirit of people who live and work in this mixture of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture.

Day 6 – September 17, 2026

Korčula Island – Pelješac peninsula (Ston – Slano)

Breakfast | Light lunch Oyster&mussels & Wine Tasting | Dinner on board

As the sun gently rises, casting a golden glow on the Adriatic, we set sail on an unforgettable journey to the breathtaking Pelješac Peninsula. Tucked away in southern Croatia, within the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Pelješac stretches over 70 km, seamlessly connecting to the mainland at the historic town of Ston. The serene Pelješac Channel, shimmering in the morning light, elegantly separates the peninsula from the enchanting island of Korčula.

We’ll pause at one of the peninsula’s idyllic bays for a refreshing swim in its crystal-clear waters—a tranquil retreat that will leave you feeling rejuvenated. Afterwards, a true culinary adventure awaits as we dock and head to the village of Mali Ston.

From here, we’ll embark on a boat to a secluded island where our local host will introduce you to the age-old tradition of oyster and mussel farming, which dates back centuries. Indulge in freshly harvested oysters and mussels, paired with locally produced wine—a culinary combination that’s sure to delight your senses. For those seeking alternative tastes, a selection of fresh vegetables and artisanal cheeses will also be served, accompanied by even more of the region’s excellent wines to complement this unforgettable experience.

Our exploration continues as we visit one of the oldest family-owned wineries in a nearby village, where you’ll be immersed in the world of Pelješac wines. This region is renowned for its exceptional wine varieties, particularly the bold and flavorful Plavac Mali, a robust red wine celebrated for its deep, rich aromas. You’ll also have the chance to try the refreshing Rukatac, a crisp white wine with fruity notes that perfectly captures the essence of the Mediterranean’s sunny, laid-back lifestyle.

As we pass near the ancient town of Ston, you’ll marvel at its legendary walls, originally reinforced with 40 towers and five imposing fortresses. Once spanning an impressive 7 km, these fortifications—partially damaged by the 1667 earthquake—still stand as a monumental testament to the region’s rich history and strategic significance. Built between 1334 and 1506, this complex was the largest fortification-urbanist project in Europe at the time and continues to inspire awe.

In the late afternoon, we’ll embark on a scenic ride along the stunning Adriatic coast, where rugged cliffs meet the sparkling sea.

As the day comes to a close, we return to the ship, where a delightful dinner awaits, offering a perfect end to the day.

Overnight stay on board our ship.

The last stop on our trip is Dubrovnik, a city that will welcome you with open arms, as it does for visitors from all parts of the world. Surrounded by its fabled medieval walls, Dubrovnik is widely known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic”. It is a medieval city on the Croatian side of the Adriatic coastline and treasure trove of cultural, historical monuments that were created throughout its thousand-year existence. In the past, it was a City-Republic, and alongside Venice one of the most famous cultural-economic centers on the Mediterranean. In more recent times, it has become the center of modern cultural and tourist events: a city of summer festivals – an international parade of top musical and theatrical achievements, a city of museums and galleries. These values have turned Dubrovnik into a place that offers a rich selection of various experiences and excitement, but also a complete holiday in a quiet and calming, mild Mediterranean ambience and wonderful seaside landscapes.
