Wednesday
VELA LUKA – VIS (Biševo)
Early in the morning we leave for the island of Vis, which was closed for many years to tourists but because of its unique geographical position, it became a strategic harbour for the navy. Because of this isolation Vis has a special charm of the ‘Mediterranean as it once was’ which makes it really interesting to see. Near Vis is Biševo and the famous Blue Caves. You can visit the Blue Caves by taking a little boat (payment on spot 8 EUR per person). Sometimes the weather conditions can be very unpredictable so the possibility and time of your visit will depend on the conditions, however you will be advised by your captain/crew. There will be plenty time for swimming. Arrive in Vis in the afternoon where we spend the night. It was Vis (Issa) where the Greeks had their first colony in the 4th century.
Thursday
VIS – ŠOLTA
Early in the morning we cruise towards beautiful Šolta island, which is not yet overcrowded by too many inhabitants or new buildings.

The last day is spent swimming in different bays on the island of Šolta or the neighbouring island of Brač before we return to Split. We continue cruising while enjoying the view of Split Riviera arriving in Split in the late afternoon. Optional guided tour of Split with an English speaking guide.
