The Island of Bisevo is to the south-west of the Island of Vis, with many caves have been carved into its steep coast.

According to legend, Korcula was established by the Trojan hero Anthenor in the 12th century BC.

Monaster of Saint Mary, Mljet

Monaster of Saint Mary, Mljet

Mljet is an impressive island in the Adriatic emerging from the open sea in the South Dalmatian Archipelago. It is 37 km long and only 3 km wide, divided from the Peljesac peninsula by the Mljet channel.
Go to the cave known as Odysseus‘ cave, which is situated under the top of Veli grad. It can be compared for its beauty to the Blue cave on the Bisevo island and similarly you should dive there at high noon, when sun rays penetrate directly into the cave creating amazing lighteffects inside the cave, colouring it in all shades of blue. The light penetrates into the cave from two side openings creating extraordinary effects.

The longest (5 km) and the best preserved city wall in Europe, salt factory since Roman time that is still operating, the most tasteful shells and sea food ever, and one perfect restaurant, the best on Adriatic – that is in short what expects you in this unique town Ston, established and fortified in time of Dubrovnik republic as a stronghold fortress to guard the salty treasury of the time.

After sightseeing of this living museum, go to the restaurant “At Niko’s”, where its charismatic owner Niko will please you with the most tasteful traditional sea food accompanied with his unique charm and hospitality. Many celebrities are often seen there, anonymously and relaxed.
Of course, before dinner, we recommend a lot of swimming and summer joy in gorgeous scenery of untouched nature and clean sea.
After anchorage in a cute bay close to Dubrovnik, have a nice farewell dinner party.  In the evening you can enjoy in rich Dubrovnik’s night life. 

 

Day 8. Leaving

Geography and nature in Croatia

Croatia is very small country, and quite unknown to many people. Many people maybe heard about it, but aren’t able to show it on a map. To help you find it, just look at the Europe, find Italy (big semi-island that looks like a boot :-)), look right over the Adriatic sea and you will find a peace of land called Croatia. Croatia is situated close to densely populated and industrially developed European countries. Many internationally important transport routes cross Croatia. The importance of the geographical position of the Republic of Croatia is also enhanced by the Adriatic Sea, the northernmost gulf of the Mediterranean which is the closest to the central part of the European continent.

Adriatic Sea

Adriatic sea satellite

Satellite image

The Adriatic Sea is a body of water separating the Italian Peninsula from the Balkan peninsula, and the system of the Apennine Mountains from that of the Dinaric Alps and adjacent ranges. The Adriatic Sea is a part of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Adriatic is a relatively warm sea – its temperature does not fall below 11 ° C. Transparency is also great; at some spots you can see up to 50 meters!

One of the characteristics of the Croatian coast is a very great diversity of the coastline. Croatian part of the coast is extremely high (along the coast many mountains, hills and reefs are settled), while the Italian coast is quite low. Diversity of the coast is a result of sinking mountain relief forms of dissolution of ice after the Ice Age (when the sea level has risen up100 m, and the mountain peaks of the former have become islands, bays and valleys and sea-going). As a result, the direction of providing the island follows the direction of providing a mountain on the mainland. This phenomenon was first noticed on the coast of Dalmatia (Croatia), and throughout the world, it is called the Dalmatian type of coast. You can enjoy on the beach on +30 degrees Celsius, and in a half an hour you can be on the top of the mountain freezing at +5 degrees :-).
