Flotilla Sailing Elafiti | Croatia

The sailing route begins in Dubrovnik, a city located on the Adriatic coast. This historic city is called the pearl of the Adriatic for a reason and is certainly worth discovering. Stroll along the 2 km long city wall that surrounds the city and visit the Dubrovnik Cathedral. While strolling through the old city centre of Dubrovnik you will encounter an infinite number of churches, squares, and imposing old buildings. The “Game of Thrones” series has used this beautiful city as a backdrop. For a nice bite to eat and a beautiful view of the sea, you can go to Konoba Veranda, with a menu full of Mediterranean and regional dishes.

Šipan, the largest island of the Elafiti Archipelago, is the next destination. From Dubrovnik, you will sail through the Kolocepski Channel and during this sailing trip there is plenty of beautiful nature to enjoy. Meanwhile, there is also the possibility to have lunch on one of the islands. Eventually, you will moor at the Mediterranean village of Suđurađ, a small, quiet place surrounded by beautiful olive groves and vineyards. The watchtowers at the port of Suđurađ immediately catches your eye. This special Renaissance-style building was used in the 16th century to ward off pirates.

While sailing on the clear Adriatic seas, you continue your journey to the green island of Mljet. Meanwhile, the sailing trip offers a view of the beautiful scenery until you arrive in Okuklje. This is the perfect place to relax, and the island is full of pretty bays and untouched nature. The restaurant Maestral Okuklje is a must, not only for the good food but also for the good service!

On day four, we continue the journey to Korčula. The sailing trip will pass beautiful beaches and mountains until you arrive at the fishing village Lumbarda. This authentic town is a prehistoric settlement from the time of the ancient Greeks and from here you can visit beaches such as Vela Przna and Bilin, where you can take a nice swim in the sea.

After four days full of plans, it’s time to go on a journey of discovery on your own. Go on an adventure and have a look at one of the islands around Korčula. Not in the mood to sail a long distance today? Discover the history of the town of Korčula and visit the St. Mark's Cathedral and the Abbey Palace in the old town.

Today we sail to Pelješac, a quiet island that is loved by nature lovers. We moor in the town of Ston, which is surrounded by a 5-kilometre-long defensive wall. During the walk on the wall, you can enjoy the beautiful view of the sea and the village. Don't forget to eat mussels and oysters in Ston, as this is something Pelješac is known for. In the summer there are stalls on the road where you can eat delicious fresh mussels and oysters.

Unfortunately, the last day of the sailing adventure has arrived. We sail back to Dubrovnik, where you can toast to the beautiful holiday on the water. If there is time left, you can visit the market in the old centre.
