❖ Starting your journey: From Split to Bol
We begin our adventure at the designated meeting point for a voucher check. Once everyone has gathered, we will embark on our boat and set sail for our first destination: Bol on the island of Brač. Bol is the oldest town on the island's coastline.
❖ Bol town (island Brač)
The fascinating town of Bol is known for its beautiful white stone buildings crafted with stone used in constructing Diocletian's Palace in nearby Split. We will visit one of Croatia's iconic and emblematic beaches - Zlatni Rat Beach, also known as Golden Cap or Horn Beach. Known for its ever-shifting shape shaped by Adriatic currents and breezes, this sandy shoreline has long been revered. This beach is perfect for various kite and windsurfing activities.
❖ Hvar town (island Hvar)
Hvar island is famed for its idyllic scenery and vibrant nightlife. Hvar has been around since medieval times. You can witness its history everywhere you turn. Wander through Hvar Town's narrow streets and you will encounter centuries-old buildings that still stand today. Be sure not to miss Hvar Fortress, an impressive castle that has protected Hvar Town for over seven centuries, as well as St. Stephen's Cathedral - an exquisite church featuring gorgeous decorations on its interior walls. Hvar is known for its rocky coastline where you can discover hidden beaches and caves, while in summer its fields of lavender add splashes of colour. For the best views, hiking up Mount St. Nicholas can give an expansive panorama of all that Hvar offers below you.
❖ Paklinski islands
Paklinski islands are a stunning chain of rocky islets just off the coast of the Croatian island of Hvar in the Adriatic Sea. On the boiling heat of a summer's day, there is nothing as fresh and relaxing as jumping in the little waves of the Adriatic Sea. For this very reason, we are thrilled to bring you to the Paklinski Islands. Here, you'll have ample free time to discover picturesque bays and plunge into the crystalline waters before we move forward.
❖ Finishing your journey: From Paklinski islands to Split
Before we reach the port of Split, we have a surprise stop. We will stop for a swim in a wild bay on an island in front of Split, just to make sure we took absolutely all the beautiful pictures and videos we could on this tour. It's time to say goodbye to the islands and wish see them next year.
