Continuing our cruise to the unspoiled island of Vis which has changed little over the years as a formal strategic Yugoslav naval base, you’ll be able to immerse yourself in nature and history with a Jeep safari tour. Enjoy the spectacular views along the way, including serene vineyards, while discovering former military hideouts and one of the world’s oldest cricket clubs. If you’ve watched “Mama Mia 2,” you might recognize some of the sights as Vis was used a film setting.

We have lots on the agenda today with the first stop on Bisevo island, for a tour of the famous Blue Cave.

Wednesday: Korčula

This morning we venture to Korcula and its storybook walled Old Town, a favorite for many on this unforgettable itinerary. Once we anchor, you’ll meet our guide who will take you through the narrow, cobbled streets to view the impressive Venetian-gothic architecture and learn more about the alleged birthplace of explorer Marco Polo along with reason for the fishbone layout of the streets.
