BLUE CRUISE CROATIA - CENTRAL DALMATIAN ISLANDS

ŠIBENIK - PRIMOŠTEN - ŠOLTA - HVAR - PAKLENI ISLANDS - VIS - KOMIŽA - BRAČ - ZLARIN - ŠIBENIK

Why Central Dalmatian islands route?

Some of the most beautiful places on coast of Dalmatia are ancient cities with their old ports. In Dalmatia ports are usually also the city center, which is also the main place for all events during the season. Most of the ports are more than 100 years old and made by stone. This is really a unique sight which is hard to be seen anywhere in the world. We recommend this route to people that wish to go off board in the evening to explore the city life in the evening and enjoy in incredible nature during the day.

ROUTE DESCRIPTION

Monday: HVAR - PAKLENI ISLANDS

The most popular beaches of the town Hvar are situated on the Pakleni islands. The name of this tiny archipelago (about twenty islets right opposite the town of Hvar) which extends undulating along the south side of Hvar comes from the word "paklina" (melted pine resin for 'rasping' boat plating).

Tuesday: VIS

The Island of Vis is a place hiding the splendor of the clear waters, the protected underworld, the rich sunken vessels and the miraculous views of sea’s flora and fauna. An archeological find, the collection Issa, holds a number of valuable finds, including the inscription by the hero Calius from the 4the century BC, the bronze head of Aphrodite or Artemis from the Praxitelean circle and collections of vases (south Italian red figural ornamentation, Gnathia, vases of local origin).
