Accompanied by your comfortable motor yacht, you will spend a week exploring the varied region of southern Dalmatia. Breathtaking natural beauty and cultural highlights follow in close succession. Highlights of the trip include the UNESCO World Heritage cities of Dubrovnik and Split. By bike, you will visit the islands of Brač, Hvar, Korčula, Lastovo, Mljet and Šipan and experience the coexistence of land and sea, culture and nature in the smallest of spaces.
On this trip, you can call the comfortable motor yacht ROMANTICA your home for a week. The tour alternates weekly with the trip from Split to Dubrovnik (i.e. in the opposite direction).
