Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival in Dubrovnik
Day 2
Mljet National Park and Trstenik - We’ll set off from Dubrovnik this morning and enjoy your first taste of the crystal waters of the Adriatic with a swim stop. After your refreshing dip, you’ll be ready for lunch on board before arriving at Mljet. The Dalmatian coastline is legendary: one of Europe’s most dramatic, extending for hundreds of miles, where steep limestone cliffs plunge into sapphire-blue waters. The mirror-like Adriatic is studded with countless islands, some tiny, some large, some inhabited, some not. Mljet is one of the most seductive of such islands, where the hillsides are clad in a green carpet of lush pine forests bringing that instantly recognisable Mediterranean aroma to the air. Nestling in picturesque coves are medieval fishing villages, refreshingly free from tasteless development, where the alleyways are simply pebbles set into the earth and overhead shutters sway precariously in the warm, gentle breezes. Life here continues much as it has for centuries. Here we’ll enjoy a visit of the national park including the tiny islet of St Mary’s with its 12th-century former Benedictine monastery. With its colourful walls and altar carved from local stone you will already feel a long way from home in this most atmospheric of places – it’s easy to see why legend has it that the Greek hero Ulysses came here to contemplate. After our visit to Mljet, we'll hop back on board and enjoy a short voyage to the pretty little seaside village of Trstenik on the Peljesac Peninsula, arriving early evening. Nestled at the foot of the rolling hills behind, this picturesque, secluded spot is famed for its wine production where generations of families have produced excellent wines for hundreds of years. We'll remain moored overnight, so you can have dinner at your leisure in this charming spot - you'll really feel like you are getting away from it all!
