About the trip

Set off from Makarska on the sparkling Adriatic for seven days aboard MS Mendula, Riviera Travel’s twin-masted yacht. This cruise threads through the Dalmatian coast, touching islands steeped in history alongside opportunities to swim in calm, clear waters. Early stops include Bol with its tidy fishing harbour and the island of Vis, once a restricted military base now open for relaxed strolls.

Further east lies Hvar with its untidy streets that officially have no names, peppered with lavender fields and pine forests. Korčula follows, its Venetian past evident in tightly packed old stone alleys and shaded squares. On the mainland, Trogir provides a guided taste of Roman and Renaissance architecture crowned by a weighty cathedral. Split calls for a tour of the Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace, where marble and sphinxes mingle with modern homes.

The cruise winds down with a visit to Brač, including a stop at the Olive Oil Museum, before returning to Makarska. The constant backdrop is the Dalmatian coast’s limestone cliffs and sapphire waters, seen from the deck or between dips. The pace here is measured, blending gentle sightseeing with time to simply watch the coastline drift by.
