Overview

Itinerary

1. Stop 1 · 10m

   Enjoy a short photo stop above Nugal hidden bay in Makarska, one of the most famous hidden beaches on the Makarska Riviera. Known for its dramatic setting below the cliffs, naturist history, and wild untouched look, Nugal feels very different from the usual town beaches. After heavy rain, a seasonal waterfall can sometimes be seen above the beach, which makes this viewpoint even more special for photos.

2. Stop 2 · 50m

   Spend 50 minutes at Zlatni Rat, Croatia’s most famous beach and one of the most iconic spots on the Adriatic. Known for its long pebbled horn that changes shape with the wind, waves, and sea currents, this beach looks slightly different almost every day.
   **Guests are dropped off and picked up directly at the beach dock, giving them easy access to swim, relax, or take a walk along one of the most photographed beaches in Europe.

3. Stop 3 · 45m

   PAKLENI ISLANDS – Duboka Bay, Sveti Klement
   Duboka Bay on Sveti Klement is one of those quiet Pakleni coves that still feels hidden and untouched. Surrounded by pine trees, clear water, and rocky shoreline, it is the perfect stop to swim, snorkel, or simply slow down and enjoy a calmer side of the Adriatic away from the busier spots.

4. Stop 4 · 3h

   Hvar Town is one of the most historic and elegant towns on the Adriatic, shaped by centuries of Venetian influence, stone architecture, and a rich maritime past still felt in its square, alleys, and waterfront.
   
   FORTICA: One of the best things to do is visit Fortica, the hilltop fortress above town, about a 15-minute uphill walk from the center or a short taxi ride away, although we recommend walking if you can; at the top, you get the most famous panoramic view of Hvar Town and the Pakleni Islands.
   
   LUNCH: Mediterraneo is a great value-for-money choice, Gariful is the best-known upscale fish restaurant, and if you prefer a casual modern bite with a Mexican twist, Let’s Taco ’Bout Hvar is a fun option.
   
   COFFEE: After that, the best plan is simply to sit down for a drink, enjoy the waterfront atmosphere, and wander through Hvar’s small stone streets and local kalas, because this is the kind of town best enjoyed slowly.

5. Stop 5 · 45m

   PAKLENI ISLANDS - Marinkovac Island: Swim Stop Among the Yachts
   Marinkovac is one of the best-known islands of the Pakleni group, where clear turquoise water, hidden coves, and anchored yachts create a very special summer atmosphere. This swim stop is perfect for a refreshing dip, floating in the sun, and enjoying the more glamorous side of the Adriatic just off Hvar.
