Detailed itinerary

Blue Cave is UNESCO protected wonder of Adriatic sea, located on the small island of Biševo in vicinity of the island Vis. One of the wonders in Croatia, famous in the world for the miraculous light that gives stunning view reflecting from the bottom onto everything and everyone inside as a luminescing blue silver light. Out of this world place you will remember for life!

Stop 2

Stiniva bay is located on the island Vis. It’s unusual shape is due to two beautiful cliffs that "hug" this intimate bay and make it accessible only by boat.
It is one of the most attractive beaches with blue-green water, named the top beach in Europe for 2016 by the Brussels-based Tourism Organization.

Stop 3

Small island on the south-eastern side of the island of Vis, inhabited by only one person for majority of the year! Because of two little islands called “small Budikovac” and “Sanak” in front of Budikovac island there is a gorgeous lagoon, perfect place to dive in crystal clear sea. Very popular among non-swimmers as well, since just the plane nature of the island is perfect for a lovely walk.

Hvar is a city and a port on the island of Hvar, also known The Sunny Island hence it has the biggest amount of hours of sunlight in 365 days, in the whole Europe! But there is much more to Hvar then just sea and sun. It is one of the oldest cities in Croatia, rich with cultural monuments and charming small Roman alleys you will enjoy to discover, as well as have a drink on St. Stephan's square. One of fun facts, Hvar has the oldest teatar in Europe. Town loved by tourists from all over the world!

Stop 5

Pakleni islands are located off the southwest coast of the island of Hvar, very close to Hvar town. From up above they seem like a chain made out of more then 16 islands, almost 10 km long. They are blessed with lovely nature, blue lagoons, crystal-clear water and hidden beaches for us to explore! You can always take a break in some cool bars, that chill during the day and party in the night.
