Our captain will dock in one of these bays giving the guests an extended swim stop and time to snorkel or use the various water toys on the yacht. We will arrive in Vis in the mid-afternoon. Vis was once a strategic Yugoslav naval base and off-limits to visitors. Due to the island’s seclusion and isolation, Vis has retained a very unique charm that typifies ‘the Mediterranean as it once was’.

Enjoy a guided tour inside this beautiful natural phenomenon and marvel at the beautiful colors which will leave you mesmerized.

This afternoon you will arrive on the island and you will have a guided walking tour of the charming Old Town.
Mljet is the next island on our agenda, a favorite for many as one of the greenest and most beautiful in all of Croatia. You’ll have time to explore its famous saltwater lakes on your own, including Great Lake, with tiny St. Mary Islet in the middle home to an ancient Benedictine monastery. Cruising on to the mainland, we’ll visit the traditional fishing village of Slano, the gateway to the enchanting fortified village of Ston.

Enjoy a grand finale by hopping on the cable car to the top of Srd Mountain which brings a jaw-dropping 360-degree panoramic view over the rooftops of the city, the sea and nearby islands.
While your cruise has come to an end, the better news is that you’ll soon be on your way to Greece. After goodbyes to the captain and crew, you’ll be met by private transfer for the short ride to Dubrovnik Airport and your flight to Athens. You’ll meet your driver upon your arrival to Athens International Airport for the trip to your hotel in the city.
This exciting day begins by walking back in time to ancient Greece, widely considered to be the birthplace of western civilization. Follow the footsteps of the greats, like Socrates while marveling at the Temple of Zeus, the Acropolis and Parthenon and wandering through the ancient Agora, before private transfer brings you back to Athens Airport.

Listen to the haunting chants of the monks, stroll the island’s longest black sand beach and indulge in a wealth of food and drink experiences.
If you’d rather, you can relax and just enjoy soaking up the view all day, but you’ll have the opportunity to make the most of your time on Santorini with an optional tour of the ancient city of Thera. It sits along a mountain ridge and was inhabited from the 9th-century BC through the early 8th-century AD, named after the mythical ruler of the island, Theras. Look forward to more stunning sea views along with fascinating attractions like a large portico, agora and a theater that dates back to the 2nd-century.
