Detailed Itinerary by days
Day 1Dubrovnik - Lopud
Starting your adventure in Dubrovnik, whose historic stone walls radiate amber in the early sunshine, Head north to Lopud, an Elaphiti archipelago car-free island. Anchor in the peaceable harbor and walk to Šunj Beach, a crescent of golden sand kissed by blue waves. As the sun sets behind the pine-clad hills, dine at a seaside konoba on lignje na žaru (grilled squid) with a crisp Pošip wine.
Day 2Lopud - Saplunara Bay (Mljet)
Sail south to Saplunara, Mljet's secret treasure, where a bay of shallow, crystalline waves frames dunes and pine trees. After swimming in the hidden paradise Blace Beach, indulge in orada (sea bream) at a family-owned bara. Go asleep to the murmur of the maestral breeze, the air smelling of wild sage.
Day 3Saplunara - Pomena (Mljet National Park)
Cruise into Mljet National Park from Pomena, a community of stone cottages with salt-kissed air. Anchored there Kayak across the beautiful Veliko Jezero (Great Lake), its 12th-century monastery floating like a mirage. Cycle shady paths, then at a lakeside tavern enjoy the day with oysters and rakija.
Day 4Pomena - Lastovo (Zaklopatica Bay)
Sail west to the starriest island in Croatia, Lastovo. Drop anchor in the fjord-like refuge enclosed by cliffs in Zaklopatica Bay. After hiking to the hilltop church for views of the open Adriatic, snorkel in cavernues glittering with aquatic life. Dine under a Milky Way so brilliant that shadows are created on lobster pasta.
Day 5Zaklopatica - Korčula
Go back to Korčula, the 'Little Dubrovnik,' whose mediaeval walls protect Marco Polo's alleged birthplace. Wander cobbled lanes surrounded by Venetian palaces, then drink Grk wine in a courtyard taverna. See the Moreska Sword Dance, a blazing collision of custom and desire, in St. Mark's Cathedral's shadow at evening.
Day 6Korčula - Polače (Mljet)
Sail back to Mljet, docking at the peaceful settlement anchored by Roman ruins at Polače. Trekking to Montokuc Hill will provide panoramic views of the Adriatic, or swim in the crystal waves of the harbor. Dine on black risotto at a konoba, the ink-dark meal ideal for the starlit evening.
Day 7Polače - Dubrovnik
Sail south to Dubrovnik, stopping at the Elaphiti Islands to swim in sapphire seas last-ingly. Go back to the city when the sunset causes the limestone walls to flush gold. On the Stradun, toast your journey with maraschino liqueur; already wanting the Adriatic's murmur, "Vrati se." (come back.)
