It is a one week route sailing from Sibenik. The stops are a mix of charming villages and small towns. This is a flotilla that will spare you the well equipped but sometimes rather characterless marinas that have become a feature of sailing in Croatia. Avoiding the marinas as much as possible also helps keep the cost down.
There is however a chance to visit the larger historic towns of Split, Trogir or Hvar on the free sailing day. All these are full of impressive ancient buildings, though the first two will require a marina stop and the third can be a challenge to get in to as it is a popular spot.
The route takes you as far as the isle of Brac, via the islands of Zirje, Solta and Zlarin. The stops are generally quiet relaxing places. This is not a flotilla that want to party hard in to the night.

| 2: Sun | 13 | - Muna (Zirje)
Uvala Muna is the main port for the island of Zirje. Zirje is the outermost island of the Sibenik archipelago and as such, probably the least visited.

| 3: Mon | 30 | - Sesula (Solta)
Sesula is a small narrow inlet at the west end of the island of Solta, just south of Maslinica. It’s a pretty spot and provides good shelter. It lacks a beach but you can swim off the boat. There’s a dive centre here where you can hire scuba gear.

| 4: Tue | 13 | Free sailing. You could visit: - Split
The historical city of Split is Croatia’s second largest city, though with less than 200,000 inhabitants it’s pocket sized. The port is a hub for ferry services to outlying islands and Italy and the city is the cultural centre for the region, so there’s plenty to see and do.

or- Trogir
Trogir is not to be missed. A beautiful medieval town crammed with renaissance and Romanesque architecture, Trogir, oozes with an understated sophistication that will charm even the most jaded cynic. Moor your boat among the many other yachts than stop here and enjoy a night of revelry in surroundings of relaxed elegance.

or- Hvar
The capital of the sunniest island in the Adriatic, Hvar is rather schizophrenic. In high season it’s an aspiring St Tropez where the jet set can party the night away before recovering at one of the upmarket beach clubs. At quieter times its a historic cultural centre and a must see destination for your yacht charter.
Hvar was ... Read more

| 5: Wed | 10 | - Rogoznica

| 6: Thu | 27 | - Bobovisca (Brac)
