Sailing Dalmatian Islands and Coast from Dubrovnik – 4 day tour
Day: 1 - Sailing to Koločep island and Ston
Today in the morning you will explore one of the Elaphiti islands in Dubrovnik Archipelago-Koločep.
It is only 2.4 square miles big, with approximately 100 people living on it during the whole year. There are no cars on Koločep, or as the local people call it Kalamota, and it is great for walking/hiking on it. We do recommend at least a short walk across the narrowest part of the island. Sandy beaches in Croatia are rare, and they are mostly pebbly, while Kalamota has two of them. This is why places like this are special for locals! Local secret: on this island, you will find a great little family-run restaurant that serves the best-grilled calamari you will find in Croatia! You might have swimming stops, snorkeling, and visiting Blue cave if preferred. After visiting the island you would go to Ston. Ston, one of the very rare 100% planned and built Croatian cities on the Croatian coast, know for -the longest fortified system in Europe, -oldest active salt plant on the whole Mediterranean, -and for a long tradition of growing oysters and muscles. We suggest visiting the old walls of Ston between big Veliki and Mali Ston.
Day: 2 - Sailing to Pelješac peninsula
Today you will explore hidden gems of the Pelješac peninsula.
Our first stop ill is a small place Trstenik, where you can go for a swim or walk around this small place. Žuljana bay is named by a small village known locally for many small beaches along the coast from a village in both directions. If there is a place to explore it by kayak or SUP this is it. Pelješac is home to the most famous red wine in Croatia, which got its name by the position where is grown - Dingač. This position is uniques for its steep slopes, up to 70 degrees, and since 1964 its protected my Geneva convention for its authenticity. You will boat under Dingač vineyards and have unique views. If you would like to try local Croatian red wines this is the place.
Day: 3 - Sailing to Lopud island and Dubrovnik
Our last day of sailing will take us again to Dubrovnik Archipelago, and one of the Elafiti islands -Lopud.
Our last day of sailing will take us again to Dubrovnik Archipelago, and one of the Elafiti islands -Lopud. Small as it is, with no cars on them they are the perfect crowd getaway Lopud is also a rare place on the Dalmatian coast.with real sandy beaches. Most of the coast is rocky and rugged, so places like this are highly appreciated in Croatia. The Lopud island once functioned as the summer residence for Dubrovnik’s nobility, while also being an important agricultural spot, but nowadays tourism became the focal point of the local economy. There is only one village on Lopud with the same name. Apart from leisure time on the boat, you can hike around the island on a beautiful loop hike from the seaside and above high cliffs to the inland of the island, fortress Španjola and back to the village! Interesting fact: Did you know that the highest palm trees on the whole Mediterranean age growing on this little island? After visiting the island you would go to your base port and have afternoon and evening to explore Dubrovnik. You will be introduced to a rich history of Dubrovnik on a guided tour if preferred, where you will be encouraged to ask any questions you might have about this fascinating place. We suggest walking the city walls, the second biggest in the world. At places, the wall is approximately 75 ft high, which makes it a great sightseeing point to take photos of beautiful scenery. With plenty of restaurants in the Old town area, this will be a great place for your last night in Croatia!
