7 days sailing itinerary in Trogir
Day 1: Quiet Solta and Stomorska
It all started in Seget Donji, a small village near Trogir, which is practically one big port. Here we boarded, bought supplies (mainly wine and beer) and we weighed anchor, feeling like we owned the world. First destination: the island of Solta. Specifically, the village of Stomorska, one of the oldest on the island. Originally a fishing village, it still retains an incredibly lazy and relaxed atmosphere. We anchored, jumped in the water and spent the evening in one of the waterfront taverns with a plate of fresh fish. What more could you ask for in an introduction?
Day 2: Hvar - Jelsa and Vrboska, Little Venice
When you say Hvar, most people think of parties and celebrities. But we avoided the capital and headed to the quieter side of the city. Our first stop was Jelsa, a charming town surrounded by pine forests. Perfect for a stroll along the coast and soaking up the true Mediterranean atmosphere.
Then came the highlight of the day: Vrboska. The narrow bay cuts deep into the mainland and the stone bridges take you to a tangle of stone streets. It's a place with an incredible genius loci. And being on Hvar, of course we had to try the local wine. A visit to a small family-run winery was a must.
Day 3: The island of Vis and the gate to the caves
Vis is an island that has been closed to tourists for decades because it served as a military base. And it shows. It's more... raw and authentic. Our base was the village of Rukavac, which is an ideal starting point for visiting two of the area's biggest attractions: the Blue and Green Caves.
In the evening we then sailed to Komiza. This little town is a fishing legend. Once one of the most important fishing centres on the Adriatic, it still holds its reputation today. And dinner in a local restaurant? Gastronomic heaven. Ordering freshly caught fish, prepared on the grill, is simply a must.
Day 4: Lastovo - Zaklopatica bay and historical town
The island of Lastovo is another pearl off the main route. We anchored in Zaklopatica bay, which is so beautiful it hurts. The crystal clear water directly encouraged diving and snorkeling. Then in the afternoon we went to explore the capital city of Lastovo. This is an architectural unique - it doesn't lie by the sea, but is tucked away in the hills, spread out on a steep hillside like some kind of natural amphitheatre. And yes, you guessed right. We tasted some great local wine here too.
Day 5: Korcula - Racisce and wine-growing Lumbarda
Korčula je známá hlavně díky svému hlavnímu městu, kterému se přezdívá „Malý Dubrovník“. My jsme ale opět hledali klid. Našli jsme ho v zátoce Račišće, bezpečném a oblíbeném kotvišti na severním pobřeží.
Odpoledne patřilo Lumbardě. Tahle oblast je proslulá svými vinicemi, kde se rodí vynikající bílá vína, především odrůda Grk. Procházka mezi vinohrady s výhledem na moře, zakončená degustací v místním sklípku… ano, přesně takhle si představuju dovolenou.
Day 6: Peljesac Peninsula - Wines, walls and oysters
If the white wines from Korcula are great, the red wines from Pelješac are divine. This is where legends like Dingač and Postup are born. For a red wine lover like me, it was literally heaven on earth. The small romantic cove of Podobuče, accessible only to locals, is also worth a visit.
But Pelješac is not just about wine. We visited the historic town of Ston, which boasts an incredible fortification over 5 kilometers long. It looks like someone tried to move a piece of the Great Wall here. And while you're in Ston, you have to try the oysters. They're said to be the best in the world. And I have no reason not to believe it.
Day 7: Return to Seget Donji and farewell
All good things come to an end. On the way back to our home marina we made one last stop in one of the picturesque bays, took a last swim and slowly accepted our return to reality. In the evening in Seget Donji we symbolically ended our cruise with dinner and a toast to all the experiences.
