Enjoy the beautiful sights of nature along the way towards "the heaven on earth" - according to the famous writer George Bernard Shaw. We get to Dubrovnik late in the afternoon. Take a walk through Stradun - both a street and a square, a promenade inside the city walls. For those of you with more enthusiasm we recommend a walk on top of the 1,940 m long city walls! Overnight in the port of this magical town.

Our next stop will be the island of Brac. Swimming is planned at one of the better known beaches in Dalmatia - Zlatni Rat near Bol (the Golden cape - its gravel promontory shifts from side to side as the wind and waves constantly change in shape).

On our way to Split there will be another swim-break in one of the many bays on island of Brac.
