Croatia island hopping holidays reviews, croatia island hopping tips.
Island hopping in Croatia is somewhat different to a single destination holiday , as it involves more logistical planning , daily travelling and keeping up with transport and ferry schedules . To make sure you get the best out of your trip we’ve put together a few Croatia island hopping tips and tricks.
Benefit from an organised island hopping tour
Before attempting it yourself, perhaps opt for one of our island hopping itineraries where the scheduling and ticketing is all done for you. This may save you time, confusion, ticketing difficulties and will ensure that you see the best of the best in the time you have available.
Stay central
Making sure your accommodation is centrally based will make it easier for you to take day trips to various locations and get the most out of your time. It will likely save you travel costs, time and energy.
With so much magnificent local produce and perfection of culinary craft, make sure you get the best culinary experience by eating where the locals do. Dine at small family-run restaurants, visit wine farms, cheese producers and olive groves. You may find your culinary experience very different to that of your traveling counterpart who eats only at touristy pizza and burger joints.
Summer holidays make for light packing. No snow jackets, boots or thick scarves required. There are however a few essential items in addition to your swimwear. Make sure you have a good sunscreen as well as mosquito repellent. Without these two items you’ll be surprised how annoyingly unpleasant your holiday can be. Also bring a good pair of walking or hiking shoes.
Explore more than one national park
Croatia boasts a variety of big and small national parks , all with various wildlife, waterfalls, caves, scenery and activities to enjoy. Don’t only head to the popular Plitvice (although we highly recommend a visit here), but schedule in one or two of the smaller island parks or inland reserves. You’ll be able to discover the less trodden roads, see a variety of landscapes and be amazed by the spectacular scenery the country has to offer.
Croatia Island Hopping: Best Time To Go
Croatia boasts idyllic mid-year getaways.
The best time for island hopping in Croatia with glorious sunny days for swimming, ease of sailing and enjoying port activities is during the summer months.
July and August attract most visitors as water temperatures are ideal and rainfall is low.
It can get hot and crowded over this time, but you have the benefit of access to many great services , endless beaches, exciting festivals, outdoor activities and frequent boat schedules.
The shoulder months of May, early June and September offer fewer crowds , lower prices and still feature relatively warm waters for swimming , snorkeling and a variety of water sports.
Croatia is very much a seasonal destination and it does become quiet on the islands outside of the peak tourist months with mild, moderately wet winters.
Visiting from October through to April, you may find boat schedules very limited , restaurants and bars closed, and activities and excursions aren’t as easily accessible as other times of the year.
Croatia’s interior climate is more extreme than that of the coast.
With cold winters and sweltering hot summers , shoulder months provide the ideal climate for outdoor activities when touring the country’s interior.
Snow is likely during the winter and the peak summer months of July and August often reach well over 30 degrees Celsius.
Best Place To Stay In Croatia For Island Hopping
No matter how small Croatia might seem, the country is long and expansive with many islands far north and south. Staying somewhere central is essential when embarking on an island hopping holiday in Croatia to ensure minimal time wasted on unnecessary transfers and ease of access to ports and cross-over points.
Due to their location, local airports and being major ferry hubs, Dubrovnik and Split are both popular locations from which to start an island hopping itinerary. Split is an excellent base from which to explore Dalmatia and has a world of great activities and beaches in its own right, making for a perfect base for your Croatia holiday accommodation.
From Split, you can easily reach the islands of Brac, Hvar, Korcula, and Vis, Trogir, Omis, Krka Waterfalls, and even Dubrovnik . Porec is a great base to visit Istria . It’s centrally located to visit all highlights of Istria within an hour drive and is not badly priced.
Expect to find an excellent tourist infrastructure all along Croatia’s coast with accommodation varying from family resorts, boutique hotels, lodges, hostels and backpackers. Direct vacation home rentals are also a great alternative to hotels, generally offering good value for money, space and self-catering facilities.
According to tourism regulations, registered rental properties must display a dark blue plate with the type of accommodation and number of stars received. A three-star lodging is generally a comfortable mid-range facility with modern amenities.
Once you are off the beaten track, Croatia accommodation comes in many quaint, luxurious and unique shapes and sizes. From lighthouse accommodation and opulent villas, to stone houses and farm cottage stays, there is a variety of unique experiences to be had for families, friends and romantics.

A small cruise ship is arguably the best way to embark on an island-hopping adventure across Croatia's islands, offering several benefits.
◦ Personalized Experience: Small ships provide a more intimate setting with attentive service, allowing for a customized journey.
◦ Access to Hidden Gems: These ships can reach secluded spots inaccessible to larger vessels, offering a more authentic experience.
◦ Ease and Convenience: Eliminates the hassle of frequent packing and logistics, providing a comfortable base for your travels.
◦ Immersive Experiences: Offers guided tours and local tastings, enriching your understanding of each destination.
◦ Eco-friendliness: Smaller ships tend to leave a lighter footprint, appealing to the eco-conscious traveler.
Cruising on a small ship along the Dalmatian Coast offers a unique and unforgettable journey, seamlessly blending the ease of travel logistics with the richness of discovery, relaxation, and cultural immersion.
Whether you're seeking the tranquility of nature, eager for deep cultural connections, or just longing for the simple pleasures of sea and sun, this experience promises an unparalleled mix of adventure and serenity, making every moment, both aboard and ashore, truly memorable.

Croatia Island Hopping Tour
8 Days / 7 Nights
Croatia Cruise in Style with Family and Friends
Join Ker & Downey on an exclusive Luxury Croatia Island Hopping Tour. Discover Croatian hidden gems via a weeklong luxury yacht charter in Croatia through the Dalmatian Islands. From Brač to Mljet, there is simply nothing like exploring Croatia by private yacht with the ones you love.
First begin your luxury yacht charter in Croatia on Brač island, the biggest island in Dalmatia. You will dock near the Golden Horn Beach in Bol, perhaps the best known and most beautiful beach in Croatia. After a celebratory first dinner with the crew, spend the next day exploring the island by e-bike. Climb your way to the top of the Vidova Gora mountain, the highest peak of the Adriatic Sea. Indeed, it offers not only the best views over the island and the Adriatic Sea, but also beautiful nature and a great biking trail sheltered by black pines. The day then ends with a private olive oil tasting experience.
Next, continue your Croatia island hopping tour on Hvar, an ancient town with a rich history on the island with the same name. Begin your explorations by hiking up to Fortica fortress for stunning views over the city. Mingle in the town center and discover one of the most beautiful squares in Dalmatia: St. Stephen’s Square. A visit to Hvar would not be complete without a wine tour. Therefore, embark on a private half-day tour through the centuries-old vineyards on the island. Along the way, pass through the old villages of Brusje and Velo Grablje as well as many lavender fields. In Jelsa, stop at the Duboković winery for a taste of Croatian wine Medvid, local cheese, and homemade bread in the winemakers’ family house. You’ll also be able to enjoy the family’s own flavored olive oils.
After 1945, Vis Island became a major military base for the Yugoslav army. As such, there are more than 30 military sites around the island. Find out why Vis was called the “key of the Adriatic” on a private jeep tour. After departing from Vis Town, visit Tito’s cave, the island’s highest peak at Hum, the former air force airport, and the cricket field in Pliskopoje. You will also stop at the George III fort, the former military base of Parja, and the submarine tunnel “Jastog” (Lobster).
Korčula Island is undoubtedly an essential stop on any Croatia island hopping tour. While here, explore the island with a private guide on a half-day tour. Indeed, your first stop comes after no more than five minutes at one of the region’s top honey producers. Here you will learn how honey gets from the beehives to jars, followed by honey tasting. Then head to Lumbarda to taste one of Korčula’s most famous products: wine. The winery you will visit produces the acclaimed and little known (outside of Croatia) white wine, Grk. Hosted at the home of your jovial hosts, you will have the chance to pair your wine tasting with an array of tasty homemade Dalmatian snacks. Later, head to a local restaurant for dinner where you will learn how to prepare the traditional local dish ‘peka.’
Your private yacht will then whisk you away to the most beautiful and most forested island in the Adriatic: Mljet Island. This is an island of untouched nature, olive groves, vineyards, rich forests, and diverse flora and fauna. Enjoy the pristine beauty of the natural surroundings on a private e-biking tour of Mljet National Park. Indeed, e-bikes are the best way to explore the island, as only bikes are allowed around the lakes.
Finally, your luxury yacht charter in Croatia will anchor in Dubrovnik on your final day. For a completely different experience, we recommend embarking on private buggy safari outside the city. Your buggy safari will take you through some fantastic landscapes, cruising through pristine countryside, pine forests, and rural settlements. Halfway through, stop in Čilipi to visit some of the town’s monuments. Then continue riding over green hills and climbing the highest peaks of Konavle’s rocky coastline while marveling at the amazing Adriatic Sea on one side and the mountains on the other. Upon your return, recover from this exciting trip with fresh fruits and drinks. Your final farewell is one to remember: a private dinner within the walls of Dubrovnik. This is an exclusive experience that allows you and your loved ones to have the walls of Dubrovnik all to yourselves. It will no doubt be a dinner that will remain as one of the warmest memories in your life.

Croatia is becoming more and more well knowns for its great wines, and this morning we have an included wine tasting. You will try a variety of locally sourced wines with an insight into how they are made and what parts of Croatia produce the best varieties!
After lunch we’ll arrive in Korcula, a laid-back Croatian island blanketed by dense pine forests. The reputed birthplace of famous adventurer Marco Polo, it boasts a well-preserved medieval walled city. Step ashore and you’ll discover atmospheric streets watched over by the majestic St Mark’s Cathedral. Built in the 15th century from pale-coloured limestone, this impressive building features a façade decorated with intricate figures and statues, and a lovely bell tower topped by an ornately carved dome.
This afternoon, you can join your Holiday Director and discover the sights of Korcula on an optional guided walking tour or, if you’d prefer time to yourself, head off and explore independently. The choice is yours! As night falls, you’re free to stay in Korcula Town and dine in a restaurant of your choosing. Alternatively, if you'd like to try some Dalmatian specialities, our optional excursion to Zrnovo, one of the oldest villages on the island, includes a home-cooked dinner.
Day 3 Korcula - Dubrovnik
Today you can relax and soak up the sun as we cruise south to Dubrovnik. Today you can relax and soak up the sun as we cruise south to Dubrovnik. Croatia is known for its production of high-quality olive oils and the country’s landscape is dotted with family-owned groves and small-scale olive oil producers. This morning, as we sail to our first port of call, we'll learn how it’s made and enjoy a tasting to appreciate the varied aromas and flavours of this traditional culinary ingredient.
After lunch on board, you will have plenty of free time to explore this amazing walled city and learn about its colourful history.
Why not start with a leisurely stroll through the beautiful Old Town, where local people chat outside their homes and the narrow streets are lined with cafés, shops and restaurants.
Then, perhaps you’ll choose to walk around the magnificent city walls. Centuries old, they were built to protect the city from attack and include a series of impressive forts and gates. From up here, the views over the glistening Adriatic Sea and red-roofed buildings of the Old Town are simply stunning, so be sure to bring your camera. There are lots of wonderful places to eat in Dubrovnik and this evening is yours to explore what's on offer in the city's restaurants and to have dinner wherever you fancy. Perhaps you’ll be tempted by the riblja plata, a delicious mixed platter of fish and shellfish.
Day 4 Dubrovnik
This morning, you’re going to discover more of Dubrovnik’s charm and learn about its history on a guided tour of the Old Town. There is so much to see and do in this fascinating city, so you’ve another free afternoon to stay ashore and make the most of every minute! Maybe you’ll enjoy lunch in a tucked-away café before heading back to the Old Town to browse the delightful shops selling traditional Croatian handicrafts.
Perhaps you’ll stroll along the famous Stradun to the former Rector’s Palace, a Gothic-Renaissance building that’s now a cultural history museum. Another popular choice is a visit to the Franciscan Monastery, which houses one of oldest pharmacies in Europe. Alternatively, for amazing panoramic views of the city and beyond, the cable-car ride up Srd Hill is a must!
Back on board the ship, there’s time to relax and get ready for a special Captain’s Dinner, a great excuse to dress up if you wish.
Day 5 Dubrovnik - Mljet
Relax over a leisurely breakfast and enjoy the facilities on board your ship as we journey north along the beautiful Adriatic coastline. The captain may even be able to drop anchor so you can enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear waters. Later, after lunch on board, we will arrive at one of the most attractive of the Adriatic islands, Mljet. It boasts pretty beaches, traditional villages and a spectacular national park.
In the company of an expert Local Guide, we will uncover the untouched natural beauty of this important and impressive national park. At its centre are two bright blue saltwater lakes surrounded by dense green forest. Said to have formed more than 10,000 years ago, the lakes have their own unique ecosystem and support an array of sea life including fish, jellyfish and coral. An island in the centre of one of the lakes is home to a remarkable Benedictine Monastery and a charming church.
Day 6 Mljet - Hvar -Solta
You'll want to be on deck today to admire the sensational views as your ship approaches the fashionable island of Hvar, with its fields of fragrant lavender, vineyards and ancient olive groves. In the main town, also called Hvar, there’s a lovely seafront promenade and an array of elegant old buildings to admire, including the Cathedral of St Stephen which sits in the town’s main square. You can choose to see the sights on an optional walking tour or if you prefer to explore independently, we’ll see you back on board later.
Next, we head to the tranquil island of Solta, stepping ashore in Stomorska. This fishing village is famed for its fleet of ancient wooden ships originally used to transport the island's wine and olive oil to the mainland. Only a handful of tourist ships visit this picture-perfect island, and you’ll have plenty of free time to wander and find a restaurant for dinner. Maybe try some fresh fish and sample the superb red wine made from grapes grown on the island.
Day 7 Solta - Split
As we near the end of our journey, we head back to Split, a city we’ll explore together on a guided walking tour. The Diocletian's Palace is an unforgettable highlight.
Commissioned in the 4th century by Emperor Diocletian as his retirement home, it is one of the world's most impressive Roman monuments. Inside its walls, around 200 buildings line a maze of bustling narrow streets and house an array of restaurants, bars and shops. We'll visit a market selling fresh produce, and then you can spend the rest of the afternoon exploring at your own pace. Perhaps stroll to Bacvice beach and enjoy a refreshing glass of Karlovacko, a popular Croatian beer, overlooking the shimmering water of the Adriatic.
Back on the ship, there's a lovely farewell evening planned.
Day 8 Split - UK
After your final breakfast on board the ship it’s time to say farewell to your crew and fellow passengers. After disembarking in Split, we’ll drive you to the airport in good time for your flight home.

Croatia Yachting Tour
Taste of croatia - yacht charter & tour.
A colorful blend of old Europe, Croatia's coastline reminds guests of an ancient, beautiful world. ROW Adventures has a long history in Croatia and our active, imaginative itinerary takes you to hidden treasures of the Dalmatian Islands to explore steep coastal mountains, golden strands of beach , and small islands towns, feasting on delicious Croatian fare accompanied by a palette of local wines. The Adriatic coast of Croatia, known as Dalmatia, is a colorful blend of old Europe, abruptly rising coastal mountains and golden strands of beach. The numerous islands and extensive coast are best explored by boat. Here are Renaissance villages hidden in idyllic coves and others that sit like beacons to wandering seafarers. The islands and coast have seen many conquerors, each of whom have left their architectural influences behind. The Illyrians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Slavs and Venetians all left their mark. The island towns are replete with red-tiled roofs, narrow streets of white limestone, elegant carved balconies, windows and portals. Weaving this rich tapestry together is the warm Adriatic Sea, beloved among those of the Mediterranean. It sparkles with a rare clarity and, according to NASA astronauts, shows as the bluest sea in the world when viewed from space. The salty waters invite the body and soul for soothing swims.
Jewels of the Adriatic
No other adventure travel company has the breadth or depth of experience in Croatia as do we at ROW. In 1988 and 1989, when it was still a part of Yugoslavia and long before Croatia became the new darling of travelers, we were leading our “Jewels of the Adriatic” tours. We had to pause as Yugoslavia broke apart and the various Republics won their independence. We resumed operations in 1998 and have returned every year since, leading the way for others to follow. Croatia today is a peaceful country excited about its future and a member of the EU. It has much to offer the traveler - the UNESCO World Heritage City of Dubrovnik, dozens of picturesque islands, miles of beaches, isolated swimming coves, charming towns, a rich culture and friendly locals.
A Guided Yacht Tour
Unlike a typical yacht charter, our trips include our own Croatian guide who is a beacon of knowledge, enthusiastically sharing their country with you. Their presence enriches your journey tremendously as they open doors, facilitate conversations with locals we meet along the way, lead walks through vineyards and pine forests, and create an experience that is much more meaningful than a typical yacht charter. The crew on the ship is also delightful! Consisting of local Croatians, they also help you be fully immersed into the local culture and history. Our trips take place on one of several yachts, each different and with singular charm.
We work with several yachts, and if you charter a trip for your own group, we will help you choose the best one for your group.

Your Family in Croatia
A yacht tour in Croatia can be a family's "trip of a lifetime." On all of our trips around the world we offer family-friendly and kid-exclusive trips...meaning, if you aren't traveling with kids, you sadly are not invited. If you would like a private family yacht charter, please contact us. We have specialty guides, earlier dinner times, have picked kid-friendly hotels and more to create the best atmosphere for you and your family.
Yacht Charter

History and Cuisine
Across the sea from Italy, influenced by years of Venetian and Ottoman occupation, Croatia is a land of dramatic limestone mountains of craggy beauty. Among the islands and captivating old cities, is s ome of the finest cuisine in the world . In Italy, they say that the fish and shellfish on the Croatian side of the Adriatic Sea are better, because the bottom is mainly rocky, unlike the Italian side, where it tends to be muddier. And as Rebecca West remarks in her historic and monumental travel book published in 1941, "Black Lamb and Grey Falcon," people in this part of the Balkan peninsula "cook lamb and suckling-pig as well as anywhere in the world," especially in the hills behind the coast, where sage, thyme and basil grow in lush, perfumed profusion. Because the Ottomans were here for nearly a thousand years, the influence of Turkish cuisine is also evident in dishes such as like burek, a flaky pastry filled with cheese, delicious when fresh and hot.
Croatian wine, once celebrated, is staging a comeback with small producers creating flavorful wines in a variety of styles. There is Posip, a crisp, chalky, flowery white made from the same grape as Hungary's furmint, and Plavac Mali, a dense, chewy red, full of pepper and blackberry notes, which is a cousin of California's zinfandel. There is the legendary Grk from the island of Korcula, Dingač and a fortified wine called prošek.

ACCOMMODATION : Split City Center Hotel
Split to Brač
Today, we have a morning walking tour to explore the bustling port of Split and its ancient monuments. Throughout history, Croatia has been significantly located at the periphery of world powers, and Split testifies to this uniquely hybridized culture.
Your tour takes you to the Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace, whose peristyle, colonnaded square dominates the space. Although the palace stands as an incredible example of Roman ruins, its arterial streets are coursing with people and modern businesses. The modern vibe fuses with ancient Egyptian pink granite columns at the square by the Silver Gate, and Corinthian capitals sit upon them. In this age of empires, Diocletian merged cultures within his palace walls, and black sphinxes imported from the mystical land of the pharaohs neighbor the Temple of Jupiter, once the Baptistery of St. John. Here, a collection of wood panels dating back to 1214 and depicting Christ’s life are housed. This morning, enjoy Split’s unique atmosphere where ancient ruins serve as a casual backdrop to café terraces.
In the early afternoon we make our way to the harbor to board our yacht and enjoy our first lunch together. After lunch we settle into our individual cabins. If weather permits, we continue our afternoon with a voyage to the Island of Brač, where we anchor near or in the Pučišća harbor. If weather conditions are poor, we continue our stay in Split harbor for the evening and ideally leave first thing in the morning.
No matter where we harbor, tonight is the start of our culinary adventure on board. Perhaps the menu will include a beef pot roast known as pašticada, often served with potato gnocchi. This festive meal is the holy grail of Dalmatian cooking, often savored during holidays or days of celebration. For dessert, enjoy the delights of palačinke (pah-lah-CHEEN-keh, meaning ‘pancakes’). You might recognize palačinke as form of crepe, whose delicious and varied fillings will end the evening on a sweet note.
Itinerary Note: The exact itinerary is subject to weather conditions and may vary. Wind conditions are quite variable, but the seas are usually calm. In order to maximize the time available for explorations we travel under motor power.
ACCOMMODATION : Small Ship
MEALS INCLUDED : Dinner
Brač, Splitska, and Hvar
This morning we explore Brač, the third largest island of the Adriatic and best known for its karst limestone relief dotted by numerous cavities, coves, and gullies. While Brač’s limestone quarries are not widely recognized, white marble taken from the island has been notably used for Diocletian’s palace, Berlin’s Reichstag, and the White House.
Learn more about the importance of stonework and the island’s indigent white marble as we tour the town of Pučišća and the stone cutting school situated there. Learn about this significant Croatian tradition as you witness the impressive works of art that complement the quaint Mediterranean town whose Baroque white roofed buildings climb lazily up the hills above the port.
We return to the ship to travel to the town of Splitska, from which we will begin a hike through aromatic olive groves and vineyards famed throughout Croatia. Our path takes us to the town of Skrip, the island’s oldest city where its ancient heritage is most present with its traces of Illyrian, Croatian, and Roman cultures. Explore artifacts and relics at the Native Museum of the Island of Brač to gain insight into the island’s rich ethnographic history.
After our museum visit, you explore more of Skrip as you enjoy a fresh and distinctly Brač lunch in a private home of one of the locals. Enjoy sour cherries, olive oil, almonds, and grapes sourced from the island and more as you relax in the sun.
Once we finish lunch, we continue our island exploration with a drive to Vidova Gora, the highest peak within all the Croatian islands, where you can appreciate the panorama of the cerulean Adriatic before you. We continue our outdoor adventure with a mostly downhill hike of about three miles. First stop is a mystical monastery hidden in the mountains.
Off the well-visited shore and cloaked by trees lies the Blaca hermitage, also referred to as the Pustinja Blaca. Founded in the early 16th century by two Glagolitic monks seeking refuge in a cave from the Turks, the monastery was incorporated into the cave that offered sanctuary and was in use for over 400 years. Not only is this hermitage visually stunning, it also houses a 19th century printing press and books extending back to the monastery’s commencement. Truly one of the trip’s highlights, the Blaca hermitage is guaranteed to astound.
Once we finish our guided tour of the monastery, we continue our hike through the pine-filled mountains toward the coast where our yacht awakes. Cool down from the day and splash in the sea before we continue our cruise to inviting town of Vrboska, located on the island Hvar.
Croatia is comprised of a collage of cultures, and you can only truly appreciate this by tasting the food. Croatian cuisine is wildly varied and regional. As a crossroads for merchants and empires, Croatia’s dishes have been influenced by different cultures for centuries, and you find vastly different dishes inland, on the coast, or dispersed throughout its many islands.
Each day we enjoy another taste of Croatia. For example, one evening we may have crni rižot (TSIR-nee REE-zhot), or ‘black risotto.’ This dish has its roots in Italy, where it is known as Risotto Nero di Sepie. This black risotto gains its color and smooth texture from the ink of cuttlefish, whose ink is spread over the rice as well as chunks of the meat and sometimes squid. This seafood specialty lets you taste the best of the Mediterranean and is accompanied with fresh greens supplied from a local farmer. Your meal concludes with a traditional Croatian dessert such as fresh figs drizzled in lemon juice to lighten your taste buds.
After we dine onboard, those seeking a bit more fun may wander to shore to a local tavern for a wine tasting. Others may enjoy watching the stars from the deck of our small ship.
MEALS INCLUDED : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Vrboska to Stari Grad and Hvar Town
Vrboska, Hvar’s smallest village, has earned the name of “little Venice” as it lies tucked away in the depth of the bay, with bridges arching across the canal carving through the town. The ancient churches and houses maintain their original Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance architectural heritage and are set against pristine pine forests and lush vineyards. Vrboska hosts the unique sharply angled bastion of the fortress church of St. Mary of Mercy, built in the 16th century in defense of the Turk’s imminent invasion. This oddly shaped church was built to withstand a siege and articulates the harsh beauty of the fishing town and its tumultuous history. Nearby, the church of St. Lawrence, is decorated with one of Dalmatia’s best art collections, some works by Venetian masters of Titian influence.
Despite its Venetian gloss, this small town is very much a fishing town, and you explore this rich heritage at the Museum of the Sardine Fisherman. This museum, bursting with artifacts and old documents, articulates the relationship between the Adriatic’s abundance marine life and the people whose livelihood depended on it. Starkist Tuna Company was founded by Croatians before they relocated to California, and this museum gives you insight into the way of life of these fishermen.
After visiting Vrboska, we walk about four miles through Hvar’s stunning and aromatic countryside. With its sweeping fields of lavender, scented olive groves, and verdant vineyards, you can appreciate why Hvar is often referred to as the Queen of the Croatian islands. Our countryside ramble takes us to our yacht in Stari Grad.
Stari Grad, the more reserved and cultured neighbor of Hvar, was once the capital of the island and a former 4th century BC Greek Colony. Once here, we head to Tvrdalj, the summer home of one of Croatia’s most famous poets: Petar Hektorović. This 16th century castle, built within a Turkish fort, bears the inscriptions of Hektorović’s favored quotes in Latin and Croatian, and the fish pool bordered by stone arches creates an inviting courtyard. A Renaissance man, Hektorović designed the primary building to represent the world: while the pond is for creatures of water, the neighboring dovecote is for creatures of air; the garden represents the creatures of the ground.
There is also time to peruse the museum enclosed within a monastery and wander the piazza lined with cafes and Renaissance-era architecture that has withstood the trials of time and conquerors. Nowhere is this more evident than the Cyclopean Walls remaining from the Illyrian period whose inscription bears remembrance of the original Greek town that marks the town’s unique symbiosis of the past and modernity.
After exploring relics, ruins, and remains we return to the yacht for lunch. We pull up the anchor and set sail along the coast to the city of Hvar known for its pulsating nightlife. After taking the weather, the group’s interests for the rest of the night, and other pertinent factors, we may choose to anchor in a quiet cove several miles away from the bustling harbor or drop anchor in the city’s port. Depending on where we anchor will determine the evening’s activities, but if in town, then you may enjoy walking through the polished limestone streets of Hvar town, having an ice cream or coffee while you watch the world stroll by.
Tonight, dinner may be Pršut. Pršut is a distinctly Croatian dish as this dry-cured ham differs from its Italian cousin prosciutto and remains distinct to the islands. Unlike prosciutto, the climate and location can influence the meat’s taste as the ham leg is traditionally hung outside where the fresh air contributes to the drying process. Two Croatian coastal regions are known for their pršut: Dalmatia and Istria. Unlike their Italian neighbors, the Istrians dry the meat in the bura, or winter wind, which carries the scents of herbs growing along the mountains. Dalmatians expose the meat to the jugo wind, the sea wind, as well, so that the meat is further infused with the salt of the Adriatic Sea. Pršut is uniquely cured so that it absorbs the Croatian environment so that you can truly enjoy the delicacies of the Adriatic.
Vrboska to Starigrad. In the morning we visit the village of Vrboska. Vrboska is a charming town with narrow streets, ancient churches and houses, situated at the head of narrow bays surrounded by lovely pine forests and vineyards. It also is the home of a fortified church which houses a magnificent collection of paintings, including some by the school of Titian. There is also a fun “Museum of the Sardine Fishermen” that tells the history of fishing from this town. Once upon a time the Adriatic was a world producer of sardines, tuna and other fish. Starkist Tuna Company was started by Croatians who emigrated to San Pedro, California years ago.
After visiting the town, we offer a hike of about four miles on level ground, through fields, olive groves and vineyards, across a part of the island of Hvar. We meet the boat for lunch in Starigrad. Starigrad is the home of Petar Hektorovic, one of Croatia’s most loved poets. We visit his 16th century home, uniquely built within a Turkish fort. There is also another excellent museum housed in a monastery and streets with small cafes. Enjoy a stroll amid Renaissance era architecture and narrow streets and perhaps see the so - called “Cyclopean walls” built of gigantic blocks of stone dating from the Illyrian Period. We will tie up at the wharf or perhaps move into the bay for more privacy nd another Epicurean feast. Perhaps tonight we’ll taste our first Prsut - a smoked ham that is home-cured in the bora, a dry winter wind that blows from the mountains through passes down to the sea. There are many local fish still found in the Adriatic and each night we’ll be able to sample a different one. The names don’t translate well, but the flavors are memorable. Vrboska to Starigrad.

Hvar to Vis
While many consider Stari Grad to be the city of colors, the town of Hvar is often known as the Adriatic’s crown jewel with its more stimulating, sultry urbane vibe. Early risers may enjoy a visit the local market. Swathes of lavender and rosemary add fragrance to the air along with the orange groves on Croatia’s sunniest island, and the Venetian townhouses imbue the town with modern glamour against the backdrop of the 13th century walls, marble streets, and Gothic castles. There are several options this morning that include a steep walk up to the Genoese Fortress perched above the town; the theatre of Hvar established in 1612, the cathedral, and the Franciscan monastery. We also offer a five mile hike for those so included, passing through the Velo Grablje valley to the sparkling coast near Milna.
We reconvene in the afternoon onboard the ship, where you can enjoy another fresh lunch while we cruise toward Vis if weather permits. Revel in the freedom of crushing through blue water riffled lightly by wind with white sand beaches gleaming brightly in the distance. If we cross the channel today, we will drop anchor at the town of Vis or at Komiza, which lies at the other side of the island.
Vis is quite isolated in the Adriatic and as close to Italy as Croatia. It’s a place that has defined its own flavors. In the picturesque seaside town of Komiza, there is an excellent local homebrew called raki, brewed from carob pods. The island of Vis is also well known for its Komiška pogača, or Komiža flat cake. This savory bread combines salted sardines with a šalša of tomato, olive oil, and parsley.
If we didn’t make it to Vis yesterday, then our morning begins with a cruise to the island, while enjoying the deep blue waters of the Adriatic. Assuming we are already on Vis, then we have many options for our day. Weather permitting; we visit Biševo’s Blue Grotto, off the coast from Komiza town and on the island of Biševo. There’s nothing like spending the morning soaking in the sun’s reflection off the waves, and the Blue Grotto is in fact a cave partially immersed in water. During different times of the day, the water can reflect a luminous aquamarine light spotted with glowing silver.
After exploring the grotto, we hike through the small island’s pine forests and maquis shrubland as we make our way to one of the island’s coves where our yacht has traveled to meet us.
Later, the enigmatic and remote Vis provides you with many options for learning and discovery. Vis was closed to tourism until 1989, and it retains its air of mystery imbedded in the military tunnels and submarine depots. The island has numerous vineyards and several wineries and we hope to visit one of these. We may also visit the caves on Mount Hum where Joseph Tito, the leader of Europe’s most effective Nazi-resistance movement, sought shelter or, the submerged coves used to hide submarines during the fraught Cold War period.
We anchor in either the port of Komiza or the town of Vis and the evening is yours to command as you explore all the town has to offer. Discover your own epicurean adventure tonight as you choose how to spend your evening and what Croatian creations you wish to sample.
We get a very early start to begin our longest cruise segment of the trip, traveling about 5-6 hours south to the island of Korcula. The island is famous for ship building, olive oil and a unique white wine called Grk. We arrive in the town of Korcula at the south end of the island. This is one of the most dramatic medieval walled towns of Europe. The stone palaces and churches are a magnificent display of architectural style ranging from 14th to 16th century and house excellent collections of religious art. Korcula lays claim to being the birthplace of Marco Polo and in September there is a reenactment of the famous battle between Genoa and Venice where he was taken captive, thrown in prison in Genoa and thereby wrote his now-famous Travels.
After our walking history tour of the town, we stop in for some delicacies at the Cukarin, a lovely bakery run by a lovely and talented artisan named Mrs. Smiljana. We return to the boat with time for a swim followed by dinner on board. If we have time the island is famous for olive oil as well as a white wine called Grk, grown only near the town of Lombarda where we visit one of the better wineries for a private tour.
After dinner, here or on Hvar, we invite some of our friends and if they're available, they join us to sing “klapa” which is a form of a cappella singing usually done by a group of four to six men. It is most lovely and a very special treat during this trip.
Korčula and Pelješac Peninsula
Our morning begins early with breakfast and a short cruise to the Pelješac Peninsula, a mountainous land dotted with sunny villages and sheltered, shadowed coves. Pelješac Peninsula is Dalmatia's largest peninsula; although it remains largely populated with macchia, fruit trees, vineyards and olive orchards rather than people.
We explore the peninsula with a five mile walk beginning from the quaint village of Viganj, which looks more like a botanical garden than a village, and heading to Orebič. Orebič boasts of some of Dalmatia’s best beaches edged with stands of pine and tamarisk. Mt Ilija looms above the town’s museums and churches. Not only are the beginning and ending destinations stunning sights to behold, the walk through groves of pines and pomegranates is a delight. On our way, we also may visit a small maritime museum to further learn about the island’s profound connection to the Adriatic and the world.
We return to the ship and cruise north to the tip of peninsula, drop anchor and enjoy our last festive dinner aboard the yacht.
Pelješac Peninsula, Ston, Dubrovnik
This morning we enjoy a final breakfast onboard and then bid farewell to captain and crew. Once we step off the boat and onto land, we have a great morning of exploring the Pelješac Peninsula’s more obscure wonders.
First, we drive to the city of Ston, known for its history salt production and the Walls of Ston. The walls of Ston, originally built as a series of defense walls, stretch to Mali Ston and are commonly known as the European Wall of China. Witness this impressive architectural feat before exploring the impressive acres of mussel and oyster farms. See, touch, and taste some deliciously fresh oysters and possibly sample the famous Pelješac wine called Dingač.
Once we have enjoyed the salty delights of Ston, we continue on to Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik cannot fail to stun with its ancient marble streets and baroque architecture. While Dubrovnik has a definitive charm of its own as one of the world's best preserved medieval towns, you might recognize it from HBO’s Game of Thrones, as the city was used for King's Landing as well as the House of the Undying. When we reach Dubrovnik, you are taken to a hotel of your choosing before being free to explore whatever interests you in the town that perfectly represents the Mediterranean’s play of light, stone, and sea.
Exact routes are determined by weather and wind conditions and the itinerary may vary from that printed above. We do our best to visit all sites mentioned, but sometimes in a different order. A flexible attitude is requested.

Taste of croatia - amazing trip.
We just returned from Row Adventure’s Taste of Croatia trip. It was the perfect combination of history, culture, food, and exploration. Our guide, Ante Batarelo, was a wealth of information about the area and seamlessly arranged activities and transportation throughout the trip. The yacht was beautiful and the captain and crew could not have been more attentive. The food and drink was delicious and plentiful, with a focus on local cuisine. Thank you Morag as well, for helping us to plan the trip.
Fantastic Trip
the boat was beautiful and the food wonderful and plentiful.The guides at each port were super and they were full of not only long past history but and much knowledge and insight into the recent homeland wars.Swimming off the boat in the absolutely clear Adriatic was a highlight. I would recommend this trip to anyone.
Taste of Croatia
We had an amazing experience on this trip. The guides on the trip were second to none. The itinerary was excellent, allowing us to experience the culture, food, customs and history of Croatia. The islands of Croatia are truly beautiful and this trip provided us with an unique opportunity to fully enjoy their beauty and charm. ROW added extensions at the front and end of the yachting portion of our trip. On the front end we saw Zagreb and Plitivice National Park which we think is a "must see". At the end of the yachting experience we added extra days in Dubrovnik and a day in Kotor Montenegro. These extensions are worth doing. We would highly recommend this trip.

With more than 200 islands to explore, making a choice of what to see can be dizzying. That's where a guided tour comes in.

The first option takes travelers to Kalados Bay for swimming and a meal prepared by a local chef. The second option takes tourgoers to Iraklia or Schinoussa to explore the villages there. The third choice is a trip to the Koufonisia islands to see impressive sea-made tunnels and Pano Koufonisi's towns. No matter which route is chosen, all tours begin with a visit to the sea caves at Rina. Reviewers say they enjoy not only the scenery, but also the opportunity to help sail the boat.
Tours run from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, departing from and returning to Naxos. Tickets start at 110 euros (around $120) per person.
