The palace now is a living part of Split, with its original walls still visible and its layout providing the framework for the modern city’s Old town. You will also see the remains of Split’s Roman heritage, more of Renaissance & Gothic structures, Jupiter’s Temple, the Peristyle and the Cathedral.

See many centuries-old sites in town, such as St Stephen’s Square and its baroque Cathedral, the Arsenal with its historical theatre, the oldest public theatre in Europe of 1612.
Dating back to the years under Venetian-rule (1420-1797), Hvar’s evocative Old Town is made up of a spacious main square - locally called the Piazza - overlooked by a 16th-century cathedral, a pretty fishing harbor, and a hilltop 16th century Fortica Spanjola fortress offering magnificent views over the bay and Pakleni islands. Overnight in Hvar or Stari Grad

Day 5   HVAR ISLAND – KORČULA          Wednesday (B,L)

Early morning we set sail for the island of Korčula to visit the historic medieval walled town of Korčula, thought to be the birthplace of the famous 13th-century explorer Marco Polo. Your walking tour of Korčula features its glorious Old Town packed with Venetian-style aristocratic stone buildings, medieval walls and towers surrounding the town, reminiscent of Dubrovnik, though generally less crowded.

Town’s key historic sites include the central Gothic and Renaissance Cathedral of St. Mark, the Town Hall and the massive city fortifications. Interestingly enough, a maze of narrow, fishbone-shaped streets has been carefully preserved in town, as it was originally used to give shade and shelter from the prevailing winds. Your evening is free to explore the town on your own

Day 6     KORČULA – MLJET National Park – SLANO (Oyster Tasting)          Thursday (B,L,T, CD)

In the morning head further south to the Island of Mljet, a favorite among many as one of the greenest and most beautiful, to a great extent due to its lush and unspoiled National Park.
Join your Cruise Manager for a stroll to its two famous saltwater lakes in the park, where you can swim from a beach, take a stroll along the scenic paths, rent bicycles or kayaks to do some more exploring, on your own. The larger lake is home to a tiny islet in the middle which houses an ancient 12th-century Benedictine monastery that is fun to visit.

After lunch, we depart for a small peaceful fishermen’s village of Slano, on the mainland.
Slano is a starting point to Ston, a historic town in Dalmatia, located on the Pelješac Peninsula, famous for its medieval defensive walls, ancient salt pans, fresh seafood and world-renowned oysters.
After exploring the town, we leave to a small nearby place to enjoy the authentic local oyster tasting.
