Sail the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, visiting historic walled cities, picturesque towns and yacht-filled harbours lined with traditional bars and cafes

Voyage along the Croatian coast on range of sailing, luxury or casual gulet cruises from amazing Venice, historic Dubrovnik or one of the ports on the Adriatic coastline from Italy to Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro and Albania.

Dubrovnik is 'the 'pearl of the Adriatic'. Enter the Pile Gate and walk the intricate web of streets and squares, down the marble-paved Stradon and around the 10th century stone city walls.

Split developed around the Roman Emperor Diocletian's Palace, and is a fascinating and typical Mediterranean city filled with markets, shops and cafes.

Cruise Kotor Bay past islands and under high mountains to medieval Kotor in Montenegro. This old walled town has ancient squares and alleys with attractive buildings, including the 9th century St Tryphon's Cathedral.

Medieval Korcula, one of Croatia's thousand islands and reputed birthplace of Marco Polo, has rich architecture, natural beauty, and a relaxed pace of life.

Koper's old Venetian quarter surrounds Tito Square and the largest cathedral in Slovenia. Rovinj has narrow, cobbled streets, small squares, and Venetian palaces.

Pula was an ancient Roman city and is dominated by the large well-preserved Roman amphitheatre. The city of Sibenik is one of the oldest in Croatia. Perhaps visit nearby Krka Falls in the National Park. Trogir is a beautiful walled and gated town with an elegant palm-lined seafront and small, inviting squares and alleys.

Mountains and valleys scattered with pine, carob and citrus trees are the main feature of the unspoilt landscape on Vis island. Hvar is the longest and perhaps the most beautiful Croatian island, with a palm-fringed harbour, good bathing beaches and interesting sites.

Ploce has an attractive harbour and within reach is Mostar, the historic city in Bosnia-Hercogovina with its rebuilt replica of the 500 year-old bridge demolished in the recent war. Mljet is a lush island well known for its wine, olives and goats cheese, and for its great natural beauty and sandy beaches.

The Albanian city of Durres has the largest Roman amphitheatre in the Balkans and the former King Zog’s Villa Durres. There are excursions to Albania’s capital Tirana, once forbidden to westerners.
