Trogir

Trogir is a beautiful World Heritage old town and the perfect place to embark on a Croatian sailing holiday. Spend your first evening exploring the town’s many tunnel like walkways and dine in one of the many Croatian restaurants throughout the town.

Komiza

Komiza is located on the western side of Vis below the 600m high mountain Hum.  A typical Mediterranean village with narrow roads and houses clustered around the harbour and its beautiful beaches to visit, you can’t really go wrong.  It also boasts the only Fisherman’s museum in Croatia, as the locals are very proud of their fishing history.  As well as being a dab hand at fishing, wine production is now one of the main ‘hobbies’ of the village now.

Vela Luka

Vela Luka on the island of Korčula, and is known both as the oldest and the youngest settlement on the island. Today, Vela Luka is an important tourist centre and is known for the beauty of its landscapes, islets (Osjak), bays (Triporti) and olive groves. Vela Luka is a great place to unwind where you can enjoy a swim and find plenty of places to gorge on fresh food.

Lastavo

Lastovo is an offshore island south of Korcula. Its dense vegetation, the azure sea with countless islets and reefs, as well as varied flora and fauna, make this island really unique.

It is famed for its carnival in which the entire population of the island enthusiastically take part and provides an opportunity for visitors to admire the lovely male and female traditional folk costumes. The island was closed to foreigners for 50 years, and will be an unusual discovery for visitors to this part of the Adriatic.

Lastovo, with its 46 small islands and their shoals is an eldorado for followers of big game fishing for yellowtail and tuna. But with all these attractions, it is not an exclusive or expensive enterprise, as local fisherman have been catching these big trophies for their own food for as long as can be remembered

Pomena

At the west end of Mljet is where you’ll find Pomena, a very small and tranquil village.  Its main trade is fishing and tourism. With only 50 or so permanent residents, it really is a step back in time to the villages you would imagine in Croatia.  Only 15 minutes by foot will have you arrive at Malo Jezero (small lake) of Mljet National Park, definitely worth a walk to. 

There are small tavernas to choose from here, serving local fresh seafood and if in need of a wake up there are coffee shops for those in search of a caffeine hit.  It’s also a safe anchorage due to its protection from the small island of Pomestak, although be careful looking through your binoculars – it’s a local naturist beach to!

Sovra

This is the main port on the island of Mljet, where the ferries from other Dalmatian Islands arrive.  Even though it’s the main port, its relatively peaceful, mainly used a fishing harbour for the inner villages.  There are a handful of restaurants here, where you can enjoy your dinner in lovely surroundings.

Slano

Slano is a picture perfect Croatian village in southern Croatia, not far from Dubrovnik.  A charming little village, with bright flowers and stone paths it truly is a sight for sore eyes.  As with other villages fishing is amongst one of the many trades, so you can be sure to enjoy fresh seafood. Keep an eye out for the ruins of a hill fort and the burial ground in the hills nearby.

Dubrovnik

The 'Jewel of the Adriatic', Dubrovnik is perhaps Croatia's best known tourist attraction. A tremendous walled city, it is a beautiful, imposing structure. With it's beauty comes popularity however, so Dubrovnik does become very busy in the peak summer months.

Sipan

Sipan is one of the largest islands of the Elaphite archipelago.  The island is close to Dubrovnik, with good connections, so much so in the 15th Century the Dubrovnik upper class bought and built architectural delights in Sipan, an especially great one is the Sorkocevic's family summer house.  If you were to head west to Sipanska Luka you would not fail to notice is the Gothic Rector’s Palace built in the 15th Century which dominates the village.

Polace

This village is flanked by the walls of the Roman Palace from the 5th Century, hence the name ‘Polace’.  This is the largest Roman building in the whole of Dalmatia.  Polace is close to the entrance for Mljet National Park so is a popular destination, however it still retains a traditional fishing village feel to it.

Korcula

The town of Korcula (3232 inhabitants) is the historical, cultural and political centre and the historical harbour of the island. It was built on a small peninsula that limits the passing between the island and the mainland on only 1270 metres.

The possibility to supervise the navigation of galleys and sailing-vessels on this spot was the reason for the formation of the small town-fortress. It fulfilled this service for different governors. The town developed hastily from the 13th century, in the form it can be seen today. Those were the years of the origin of the Constitution, the coming of the governors Zorzi and the century of Marco Polo.

Hvar

Known as one of the most beautiful towns on the Croatian coast, Hvar lies at the foot of steep cliffs, dominated by an old fortress overlooking its historic buildings. As for nightlife, you will find some of the best bars and clubs on the Dalmatian coast in the fantastic ambience of the town of Hvar.
