Morning departure to the island of Brac, where swimming is planned at the most famous beach in Dalmatia—Zlatni Rat near Bol. Its shingle promontory shifts from side to side as the wind and waves constantly cause the beach's shape to change.

Early morning cruise towards the small island Bisevo to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon (entrance to be paid on the spot—approx. 18 EUR). As sometimes weather conditions can be very unpredictable, the possibility of a cave visit will depend on those conditions; however,  notification will be provided in due course. Continue to the island of Vis, once a strategic naval Yugoslav base and closed to the public for years. Due to this isolation, Vis retains a special charm—"the Mediterranean as it once was," making it really interesting to visit. Situated on the northern side of the island, Vis has developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban center in Croatia. Sample local wines. If interested, visit the remains of the Roman Thermal Place, the City Museum, or simply take a walk to enjoy the views of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the waterfront.
