THE HISTORY

Hvar — the jewel of the Adriatic

Hvar town is presented as one of the most beautiful harbours in the world, with a rich cultural heritage—the planned stop is a natural window for lunch and a relaxed stroll through its streets and waterfront.

THE COVE

Palmižana and Vinogradišće Bay

Palmižana, the most famous resort on Hvar, is framed by dense pine forest and exotic plants such as rosemary and heather; the bay’s shoreline supports restaurants, bars and small pensions ideal for a shady pause or a beachside lunch.

THE SUNSET

Milna on Brač — wine and evening light

The final stop is the authentic village of Milna on Brač, where gentle walks, local wine tasting and picturesque sunsets provide a calm counterpoint to the day’s sailing and beach time.
