Split to Hvar (Lunch, Breakfast Days)
With a warm welcome from our Contiki Rep, jump on board our exclusive sailing boat and settle into your cabin, complete with your own en-suite bathroom. The first port of call is one of Croatia’s most popular islands, Hvar. This place sports the region’s hottest nightlife and a port packed with yachts from all over the world. You’ll soon understand why Hvar is a hot spot among the rich and famous. Check out the town’s stunning square and 16th century theatre. The hill-top fortress rewards you with full-blown views over Hvar’s gorgeous harbour. This is picture perfect stuff - the island’s unique coastline, pine-covered slopes and vineyards offer photo opportunities galore. Tonight, discover Hvar’s portside restaurants and bars. Order yourself some fantastic seafood, cooked in the local olive-oil, before hitting the bars with the group.

Hvar to Korcula (Lunch, Breakfast Days)
Kick start your day late, with a swimming stop in a remote cove and afterward, a long lunch on deck. Next stop: Korcula, home of the famous adventurer, Marco Polo. It’s all about location with a prime position right on the water. This walled fishing village is filled with pretty buildings and has fascinating Venetian architecture, designed to protect the old town from wind and sun. Walk along the stone streets, past defensive towers and get a feel for this special spot. Tonight, try some locally produced white wines and get some tips from your Tour Rep on where to go for a cute, atmospheric bar that is popular with the locals.

Korcula to Dubrovnik (Lunch, Breakfast Days)
Today we head to Dubrovnik, known as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’. With baroque buildings, museums and monasteries, this eye-catching UNESCO World Heritage Site is great to explore on foot. Get lost in the walled city’s web of winding streets. For full scale views of the area, wander along the 2kms of old town walls or hike up Mt Srj. Take a moment to remember Croatia’s recent history at an open-air exhibition and war memorial. Try out our optional kayak excursion around the old city walls, and get another look at this stunning city from the water. It’s perfect for exploring the many little islands, where you can jump out and stop for swims when you like. With a night off, pull up a table in the pedestrian district of the old town. Try out some fantastic seafood or spicy beef stew at one of the many local restaurants before a fun night out in this gorgeous town.

Dubrovnik (Lunch, Breakfast Days)
Today, head back into the pretty city or catch some sun on one of Dubrovnik’s awesome beaches. For something different, Contiki has made sure there’s time to take an optional day trip to Montenegro. Follow the spectacular coast-line to this tiny country. There are spectacular Fjords, clear lakes, and the bustling seaside town of Budva. With its 17 beaches and pristine natural surrounds, this is a very popular spot with locals. We’ll also spend time in the traditional marine town of Kotor before heading back to Dubrovnik.

Dubrovnik to Trstenik (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Days)
Sail past the Elaphite islands, known for the palms, cypresses, olive trees, citrus plantations and colourful reefs found there. Tonight, we’ll dock in the unspoiled village of Trstenik, set on one of Croatia’s most beautiful harbours. With views back across the Adriatic of the Korcula archipelago, this is the perfect spot for our included dinner on deck. After some fantastic food, party and dance the night away with your new friends.

Trstenik to Makarska (Lunch, Breakfast Days)
A day’s sailing means time to catch up on postcards, read a book, or work on your tan. Listen to you MP3 player, enjoy a siesta, chat with friends and just relax. This afternoon, we dock at Makarska, which sits at the foot of a massive cliff face. It’s got a super long sandy beach and a long promenade – just right for stretching your legs on land. For a bit of local action, head to the main square and check out the fruit and flower markets. Tonight, maybe eat some grilled fish or a mixed seafood platter with some of your travel buddies at cute, local restaurant. If you’re up for a big night out, your Tour Rep will give you some pointers before you hit the town.

Makarska to Split (Lunch, Breakfast Days)
After drifting past the wind-surfer’s paradise of Brac, we cruise on to Split. Get up close to real Roman heritage when you wander through the domain of Diocletian’s Palace in the city centre, complete with 220 buildings and a huge cathedral. Make your last night one to remember with your friends. Soak up Split’s Mediterranean vibes and get amongst it at a waterfront bar. Later, head back into the maze of streets within the palace walls to find a whole lot of cool cafes and pumping clubs.

Split (Breakfast Days)
The tour ends after breakfast and it’s time to say farewell to your new friends.
