It is a wonderful spot for a quick swim and afternoon lunch before you moor the sailboat in Stari Grad. Situated in a naturally-carved bay on the eastern part of Hvar, Stari Grad is one of the most beautiful naturally protected harbours in Croatia. Unique green hilltops and breathtaking dense forests are watching over this deeply carved bay.

When you sail closer to the land you can already smell perfumed air of lavender and pine. In Croatian language Stari Grad means "Old Town". No wonder, since it's second oldest town in Croatia and protected UNESCO world heritage site. Soon as you dock your yacht you are already in the heart of town. Excellent opportunity to wander around the promenades of this lovey old town.

Characteristic local fishermen, typical wooden vessels in town port, maritime atmosphere of picturesque harbor and exhibiting local artists, are completing the charm of this old fishing village. Vis is also know as the setting of popular "Mama Mia" movie. If you are looking to buy fresh fish, this is the best location to find them.

Day 5 . Relax on Pakleni islands & party in Hvar

Komiža is also best starting point to venture an expedition to the Blue Cave on near Bisevo island the next morning. People from all over the world come to admire this naturally formed cavity reflecting colorful game between the sun and the sea, which generates a unique blue light. Later afternoon we drop anchor in one of the sheltered bays of densely vegetated Pakleni islands. Water taxi is best option to get to Hvar city. It will only take about 5 minutes.

And don't worry, your taxi will be ready to get you back to the sailing boat where you can spend the rest of the night relaxing in a gentle swing of your yacht.

Day 6. Experience deep bays on Šolta

Early afternoon sailing towards the "green island" Šolta, might give you a close encounter with a group of playful dolphins or a tuna flock that these waters are swarming with. Šolta in translation means "olive tree". The agriculture on this island was recognized by Austro-Hungarian empress nearly 200 years ago, that is why local farmers proudly present home-grown olive oil products to the visitors. 
Whatever you do here, think green and eat local. Overnight in a small port Rogač or Stomorska with numerous restaurants nearby.

Visit the "Blue Lagoon" bay on Drvenik island where you reflect on all the wonderful days at sea and relive your yacht charter vacation experience. It is recommended to get to your home marina earlier and save some time to explore the historic sites nearby. 

The UNESCO Trogir old town is one of the most charming locations with endless crisscrossed streets. Take a walk along the seaside promenades, buy some souvenirs, or just have a nice dinner in one of the many restaurants. Don't forget to invite your skipper on the last night out.
