Island of Mljet – Dubrovnik

Saturday

The sailing route begins at Dubrovnik’s ACI Marina, Navigare Yachting’s base. From there, the route continues towards Cavtat, a small ancient town located on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. It will mesmerise you with a combination of beautiful nature and tourist contents. Cavtat bathes in mild climate, pine forests and beautiful beaches. Along the coast of the Tiha bay, you can find numerous recreational and sport facilities, as well as restaurants with traditional Mediterranean cuisine. There, you can also take a nice long walk and explore the city’s sights. As for the sailing part, the southwestern part of Cavtat’s harbour and the Tiha Bay are well adapted for anchorage, although often crowdy. In case of strong wind, we advise you to anchor at Srebreno, three miles north-northeast, since it offers a better shelter.

Sunday

Our next stop is Herceg Novi, a medieval town only 4 NM north from the entrance of the Gulf of Kotor. You can experience its medieval roots by visiting the citadel overlooking the city and three other fortresses: Kanli Kula (Turkey), Spaniola (Spanish), Venetian Citadel. The town itself is rich in narrow streets and stairs, vegetation and tourist attractions, best of which are accessible only by boat. The town’s harbour offers numerous berths for yachts up to 25m and one of the clearest sea spots in the eastern Adriatic. Anchoring is allowed west and east from the harbour: Meljine beach and port of Zelenika (which is also a border crossing passage, where you can solve all entrance-exit procedures).

Monday

We continue sailing to one of the most beautiful coasts in the world, the Budva Riviera, located 25 NM southeast of the exit of the Gulf of Kotor. It is a very pleasant sailing route and scenery that contains a 21km long coast and 17 sandy beaches, which replace a usually steep Montenegrin coastline. The centre of the Budva Riviera and the tourism in Montenegro is the town of Budva. It offers a great variety of beaches, hotels, clubs, and other tourist attractions, all enveloped in beautiful nature and history. While in Budva, we recommend visiting Sveti Stefan, a nearby fortified island connected to the mainland that gives you a wonderful view of pink-sand beaches and turquoise sea. The anchorage spot depends on the wind. There are several nearby places suitable for anchorage like Žanjice beach (5 NM from Herceg Novi), Mirišta (6 NM from Herceg Novi), but, depending on the weather, we recommend the Jaz beach (closer to Budva), cape Zavala (in case of south winds), and St Nicolas Island (in case of north winds).

Tuesday

Another inevitable stop is a small ancient fishing village guarder by a bay, rocky beaches and crystal clear sea – Bigovo (also: Bigova). It is a great holiday destination whether you are alone or in a group, as it offers a mild climate, plenty of sunny and dry days, and various sport and leisure activities. You can choose your perfect swimming spot from various rocky beaches. The anchorages we recommend are Dobra Luka (42 22 02.58 N 18 38 18.32 E) and Oblatna (42 22 51.95 N 18 39 21.78 E).

Wednesday

Kotor is truly a jewel of the Montenegrin coast, located in the Bay of Kotor, at the bottom of the Gulf of Kotor. It contains rich history, amazing nature, and numerous tourist attractions, all of which was recognised by UNESCO (World Heritage Site) and The Lonely Planet (No. 1 Best in Travel City in 2016). It is no wonder that the Bay of Kotor is placed among the ten most beautiful bays in the world, as it is guarded by high mountain peaks and filled with traditional architecture (especially in the Old Town). Recommended anchorage spots are: Port of Risan, Prčanj (western coast of the Bay of Kotor), Dobrota (eastern coast of the Bay of Kotor), northwestern part of the port of Kotor.

Thursday

Moving from the Bay of Kotor to another breathtaking Montenegrin bay, the Boka Kotorska bay. In the centre of the bay lies an attractive young town of Tivat. It has two ports: marina Kaliman (natural) and Porto Montenegro (built). The latter one is well known for its luxurious architecture and yachts, as it is one of the fanciest marinas on the Adriatic. It is also known for its very affordable prices both in local tourist offers’ and in diesel supplies. There is no tax and the fuel is duty free, which makes it a good refill spot.

Friday

After spending some time in Tivat and getting ready for the return journey, head back to Dubrovnik and Navigare Yachting’s base in ACI Marina. There the sailing route ends, but it does not stop you from exploring the town of Dubrovnik some more.

Saturday

Trogir (Tragurium): If the idea of sipping your first-morning coffee by the beautiful Croatian sea sounds pleasant to you, Trogir is the place to be!

Milna: To continue your vacation more actively, we suggest visiting Milna, the untouched jewel on the west coast of the Island of Brač. There you will find an untouched natural bay dating all the way back to Diocletian, surrounded by nice long sand and pebble beaches stretching nearby (Pasika, Osibova, Lučice, Maslinova, cove of Vlaška).

There is also a rich cultural programme, especially during summer: concerts, recitals and shows such as Stari Grad Summer Festival are not to be missed!

Monday

Palmižana: We continue our journey in the same tone: lots of nature and possibilities. Palmižana is a lagoon bathing in crystal-clear sea belonging to Paklenski (also known as Pakleni) Otoci, the oldest and most famous resort and nautical marina of the Island of Hvar. It is most famous for its untouched nature, since any land traffic is absent and the location itself was very well kept and preserved as a cultural tourism spot (especially by the Meneghello family). You can either rest and breathe in the nature around you on one of the sandy beaches, or you can go on exploring the island by its extensive footpaths. It is a great location those of you who wish to relax, whether you are alone, with your significant other, or with a group of friends or family.

Paklinski Otoci: If you are not already amazed by the Croatian Rivera, Pakleni Otoci will do the trick! Not only does this chain of small isles carry a very interesting name (Hell’s Islands), but it is abundant in forests, beaches and lagoons intercepted by the azure Adriatic Sea. No wonder it is considered to be the prettiest part of Hvar’s (and even Croatian!) Riviera. Here you can take a break from the usual tourist centres and enjoy a nice quiet time in the isles’ hidden treasures. There are also a couple of tourist resorts (Jerolim, Stipanska, Palmižana, Vlaška), ensuring you a rich variety of activities once your energy is refilled.

The city of Hvar: The inevitable jewel of the Croatian Riviera and Dalmatian islands, with most sunny hours of all the islands in the Adriatic.

This location is very family-friendly, as it is suitable for those of you who seek a more active vacation (there is a great beach volleyball playground close to the sea).

The town of Vis: Englobing the local culture and way of life with modern-day lifestyle, Vis is a unique experience you cannot miss.

Hum, overlooking beautiful pebble beaches and an open port. The island’s springs weave their way to the sea through Komiža, such as Gusarica, Nova Pošta, Velo Žalo. You will enjoy a mostly stone-build architecture bathed in the warm sun.

Budikovac: A beautiful lagoon and a small bay surround the Island of Budikovac (Budihovac for the locals), located opposite the Island of Vis. You can get there by sailing between the Island of Mali Budikovac and the one of Budikovac, keeping your path closer to the former one due to shifting sea levels. Budikovac presents a great anchorage spot, so it is a very desirable location for all the yachtsmen. You will be delighted to spend some time there swimming and enjoying the view in a protected bay.

Thursday

Maslinica: As the name suggests, the main thing for which this location is famous is olive growing (maslina). It is a calm place on the Island of Šolta intercepted with bays and pebble beaches (such as Tepli bok, Soskova, Poganica, Vela Luka), but also not so far away from the main tourist attractions (Hvar, Korčula, Vis, Split, Makarska, Dubrovnik). The town still keeps its renowned fishing tradition, which you can still encounter in many local, traditional restaurants.

Modra špilja (Blue Cave): On the east side of the Island of Biševo, in the central Dalmatian archipelago, you will find another jewel of the Croatian coastline: a sea cave.
