CENTRAL ADRIATIC ROUTE

Day 1: Saturday / SUMPETAR – PRIMOŠTEN

After the lunch and swim break in one of the beautiful bays, the first you’ll have a chance to visit is Primošten.

Primošten: a slow return to the reality; we trace Primošten in documents from 1564. under the name of Capusta Cista. After its settlement the island-town was surrounded by a wall of fortress with towers to protect the citizens from Turks’ attacks. The only connection with the mainland was a movable bridge which was later on replaced by an embankment that transformed Primošten into a peninsula. Even today Primošten conserved the atmosphere and all architectural characteristics of a medieval Mediterranean fishing settlement. St George’s church, built in 1485. on, at that time, the highest top of the island, dominates the place. Church of Our Lady of Mercy from 1553. and St Roko’s chapel from 1680. are also worth seeing

Day 2: Sunday / PRIMOŠTEN – ZADAR

Zadar: For centuries the capital of Dalmatia, today the centre of the region, Zadar is a town with rich monumental inheritance visible even today on every step: Roman
forum from the 1st c., St Donat’s church from the 9st c. – the most famous medieval basilica, the trade mark of the city; renewed romanic churches of St Krševan from the 12th c. and the church-tower of St Mary from 1105, the cathedrale of st Anastasia from the 13th c., National square with the City lodge and guard from the 16thc., strong wall of fortress with representative Harbour and Continental gates from the 16th c., Square of 3 wells and Square of 5 wells, numerous palaces, villas and other monumental inheritance.

Day 3: Monday  / ZADAR – KORNATI

After spending the night in the real city crowd we are facing the day of departure from the civilisation: the National Park KORNATI.

In the central part of the Croatian Adriatic, at touching point of islands of Šibenik and Zadar, is situated a separate and in many ways special group of islands called Kornati. For the exquisite beauty of its landscape, interesting geomorphology, great indentedness of the costal line and especially rich bio enosis of the costal ecosystem, a larger part of the Kornati archipelago was declared a National Park in 1980. Today the National Park “Kornati” covers an area of around 220 km2 and includes 89 islands, islets and rocks in total with circa 238 km of costal line. In spite of this relatively big number of islands, the continental part of the park makes less than ¼ of the total area, while the rest is maritime ecosystem.

….we suggest sightseeing and taking photos because there is no place as impressive as Kornati!!!!

One more suggestion: the day after, when we continue our cruise from the national park towards Primošten you should look around to see the breathtaking view of beautiful sea rocks!!!

Day 4: Tuesday / KORNATI – VODICE

Vodice: mostly for its beauty and great touristic offer, this destination, one of the most attractive on this part of the Croatian coast and the Adriatic in general, bears a flattering name of “St Tropez of the Adriatic “. And not without a reason! Located 13 km west of Šibenik on the coast of a broad bay, Vodice is firstly mentioned in 1402. in documents about the construction of st. Cross church, although the place itself was settled in Roman times under the name Arausa or Arausa Antonina. The surrounding is rich in water (voda – its today’s name derives from it) which was being transported in galleys and boats to the nearby villages and islands till the late Middle Ages.

Day 5: Wednesday / VODICE – ROGOZNICA
Rogoznica: In a deep gulf, hidden from the open sea, lies a small fishing settlement Rogoznica. Thanks to its perfect location (34 km south of Šibenik and north of the Split airport), numerous historical monuments and fascinating natural beauties, Rogoznica was always considered one of the potentially highest category tourist destinations.

Day 6: Thursday / ROGOZNICA – TROGIR

Our last destination…Trogir

Day 7: Friday /TROGIR – SUMPETAR

TROGIR is a museum in the real sense of the word. Lovers of cultural and historical s ights, w orks of art, original buildings and lovely streets will find the rich and stratified heritage in Trogir – from the romanic yards to the modern interiors.

Day 8: Saturday / SUMPETAR

Breakfast is served on board. The check-out time is until 9:00 am.
