Day	Miles	Destination
1: Sat	0	Check in. Dubrovnik Dubrovnik is arguably one of the prettiest towns you will visit in Croatia but be warned it is overrun with tourists in July and August at which time the old town can be a very sweaty and aggravating place indeed! Given a choice I would recommend an early or late season flotilla or bareboat charter if this is all you have come … Read more
2: Sun	14	Welcome Punch Party at: Cavtat and Uvala Tiha Cavtat and Uvala Tiha combine to create a small, laid back tourist village just south of Dubrovnik. It’s a great place to relax and watch the super yachts come and go on the customs quay or treat yourself to an ice-cream while promenading along the wonderful, shady paths that wind around the bays. Twice spared from destruction when war … Read more
3: Mon	22	Fort Rose Fort Rose lies at the tip of the Lustica peninsula. It stands guard over the entrance to the Bay of Kotor. As the importance of the fortifications declined, the settlement became just a small fishing village. In more recent times, it has become a rather chic tourist destination. In truth there’s little here; a stoney beach, a … Read more
4: Tue	13	Kotor Kotor is a must see on any Montenegro flotilla holiday or yacht charter. Located at the head of a fjord-like bay the scenery is stunning. The town itself is steeped in history and the walls of the old city reach up the mountain side. Kotor dates back to several centuries BC, being originally a Greek settlement. … Read more
5: Wed	14	Herceg Novi Herceg Novi is, like most of Montenegro, undergoing something of a tourist boom. It seems to be weathering this better than some of its neighbours. It retains both it’s charm and much evidence of its history. Though Novi means new, this is only relative. The town in fact started life as a fortress in the 14th century. The old … Read more
6: Thu	36	Return to Tivat to check out of Montenegro then head back to Cavtat and Uvala Tiha Cavtat and Uvala Tiha combine to create a small, laid back tourist village just south of Dubrovnik. It’s a great place to relax and watch the super yachts come and go on the customs quay or treat yourself to an ice-cream while promenading along the wonderful, shady paths that wind around the bays. Twice spared from destruction when war … Read more
7: Fri	12	Free sail suggestion: Why not head for Donje Celo (Kolocep) Donje Celo may be the main village on the pretty little island of Kolocep but you still going to be off the main bareboat charter and flotilla routes. Don’t just follow the crowd though; Kolocep is a fascinating island and packs a lot of punch for such a small piece of land. There are many clearly … Read more
8: Sat	16	Free sail suggestion: How about Okuklje (Mljet) Okuklje itself is not spectacular, rather, it is small, quiet and friendly. But the number and variety of restaurants make up for the lack of grand mansions and fancy nightlife, making it a great place to chill out on your yacht charter. It reminds me of Turkey – the quays are owned by the restaurants. As soon as … Read more
9: Sun	11	Another Punch Party at: Slano / Neprobic Once the site of a beautiful seaside resort, Slano is only now rediscovering itself as a tourist and sailing destination. The grand old buildings may be gone but there is still a certain optimism to the place. There’s plenty of activity with the recent completion of a new ACI marina, which makes it easier for … Read more
10: Mon	22	Polace (Mljet) Polace is the main hub for yachts entering the stunning Mljet National Park on the northern end of Mljet Island. It is a fantastically well sheltered bay (the best on the island) and is utterly charming with is tiny village and heavily treed backdrop. Polace also comes complete with the ruins of an ancient roman palace … Read more
11: Tue	15	Korcula Luka (Korcula) The Corfu of Southern Dalmatia, Korcula shares the same name in ancient Greek; Korkyra Melaina. Heavily wooded and lush, the beautiful Island is indeed reminiscent of the Ionian Corfu. Korcula town is a fantastic place so make sure it is on your list of places to visit on your yacht charter. However, don’t expect to be … Read more
12: Wed	22	Skrivena Luka (Lastovo) Skrivena Luka or Hidden Port is a magical spot on a wonderful island. With its narrow doglegged entrance, this bay affords total protection for yachts of all sizes from rough seas and provides excellent holding in silty sand. There is also a fantastic small “marina” with one pontoon (Porto Rosso) located on the western side of the … Read more
13: Thu	23	Free Sailing. Why not try; Saplunara (Mljet) Saplunara is a pleasant, well sheltered bay on the southwest corner of Mljet Island. Its excellent beach and wooded backdrop makes it popular with charter yachts. Once upon a time this was a bit of a backwater but times are changing here and now there are several restaurants, each with their associated buoy fields. The “village” doesn’t have … Read more or Dubrovnik Dubrovnik is arguably one of the prettiest towns you will visit in Croatia but be warned it is overrun with tourists in July and August at which time the old town can be a very sweaty and aggravating place indeed!
