This place is home to the world famous white stone of Brač. We will be visiting one of the few stone masonry workshops left in Europe. We arrive in Split in the afternoon. Split is Croatia’s second city, a busy university and maritime town and the capital of the Dalmatia region. Split is a city under UNESCO protection, and its historical and cultural monuments are wondrous both to local inhabitants, but also to the many visitors who fall in love with this 1,000 plus year old beauty. Join a sightseeing tour of the old town including Diocletian’s palace which the Roman emperor had built as his retirement home.

Day 5 Split/ Bol – Hvar (B, L)

Early morning departure we continue our cruise towards the island of Brač – Bol, best known for its famous Zlatni rat beach (Golden horn), a natural phenomenon that with its distinct shape and form dominates other beaches of Croatia. Directional winds and waves cause the shape of the beach to often change. Our next destination is Hvar. Hvar is the longest island in the Adriatic. While you enjoy our guided tour, you can see magnificent, Renaissance cathedral with its original tower; also, the oldest community theatre in Europe which was founded here in 1612. Hvar Town offers plenty of restaurants, bars cafes and clubs, open long into the night. Hvar is often referred to as the sunshine and jet-set island.
