sense of smallness, we will parade this palace to observe the  great
wealth of historic monuments.

Split and enjoying a light lunch as a group, we'll proceed to Trogir, with a short stop in

Day 5- Hvar - Full Day
Sailing the Island of Brac
Hvar Island Town
of Supetar
 Full-day
Sail
Today's
full day of sailing this popular island will include guided visits to
some of its small coastal towns and plenty of time to enjoy secluded
coves, snorkeling, and swimming.
With our local expert & guide, we'll sail for about an hour to the
Island of Brac, the highest island in the Adriatic Sea and the third
largest in the Adriatic. The limestone part of the coast is rocky and
steep, while the rest is rather low and sandy (on the southern side
from Farska to Bol, and on the northern side from Sutivan to Supetar)
Today's sail to this popular island will include a visit to Supetar,
Sutivan, and to the picturesque little town of Bol.
With its 3500 inhabitants Supetar is the biggest settlement
on the island Brac, and the centre of the island. Not much further down
the southern coast of Brac, is Sutivan, a small, quaint village with a
Mediterranean atmosphere and beautiful beaches surrounded by forests.
Sail to the beautiful town of Bol, taking time to stroll the coastal
streets, or enjoy swimming or sunbathing on the famous beach called
Zlatni Rat (Golden Promontory). The Zlatni Rat beach reaches out into
the sea and creates an ever changing, wild, beachscape, and is
surrounded by dense pine woods in the background
This will be a full day sailing tour of Brac Island!! Lunch
included.

Tour of Dubrovnik & Countryside
The Old
Medieval Stone Wall Surrounds Old City Dubrovnik from Invaders on the

 The tour begins with a
coach drive on the coastal highway, featuring panoramic views of the
city walls, ancient roof tops and the picturesque surroundings. We
continue with a walking tour of the city, which is on UNESCO's List of
World Heritage Sites, due to its exceptional beauty and rich cultural
heritage. This ancient town, surrounded by strong ramparts and
fortresses, is a treasure trove of architectural and cultural
masterpieces, scrupulously preserved over the centuries. A pleasant
walk will take us to the Rector's Palace, the Dominican Monastery.
Then we will hop on our coach and take the 20 minute ride out into Dubvrovnik's countryside. This region is better know as the Konavle Valley. Here we will meet one of Croatian Guides personal friends, who will show us his working millsite... still functioning using the same traditional equipment built by his family members centuries ago.
