SPLIT
Dating from 300 AD, the ancient city of Split took
over from Salona as the metropolis of the Roman province
of Dalmatia. The medieval town developed out of the
Emperor Diocletian's palace, which is recorded as
a UNESCO - "monument of universal importance."
Other sites to visit include the Peristyle, Jupiter's
Temple and Visesllas's Baptistery. The city and
marina are close to Split airport and the port is
an ideal point to join your Interpac Yacht Charter
which is within easy reach of the off lying islands, providing
the first part of your cruise.
TROGIR
Stands on the foundations of an ancient Greek settlement
on a small island connected to the mainland by bridges.
This medieval town is a favorite stop and the fascinating
old town offers restaurants, markets and beautiful sights,
including the 15th century Trogir chapel and the 13th century
portal by the master Radovan. The yacht marina is
situated on another small island opposite the old city walls
which is an easy walk over a bridge to the old town.
ROGOZNICA
Built on an island, the early village was founded in early
16th century, the island is now connected to the mainland
by a causeway, which forms a perfect anchorage in a sheltered
landlocked basin with wooded surroundings. Ideal for swimming
and water sports or a visit to the small fishing village.
SKRADIN
The voyage to Skradin is possibly one of the most
spectacular on the whole coast. After entering the Sibenik
channel we pass through the meandering fjord with high
cliffs, twisting and turning for 12 miles, until we reach
the ancient Roman village of Skradin. We stay here
overnight and in the morning you can visit the famous waterfalls
in the Krka National Park. We like to stop up on
fresh local produce and wines here.
VODICE
This small but attractive port lies at the head of the Sibenik
channel and provides an ideal opportunity to visit the shops
and sample life ashore before setting off for the comparative
quiet and seclusion of the Kornati islands.
KORNATI
ARCHIPELAGO
this archipelago, made up of over 100 islands, is the largest
in the Mediterranean. The Konati National Park is
a spectacular cruising area and great care has been taken
to protect this national environment. We will be visiting
a number of the islands in this group and know that you
will appreciate their rugged beauty.
PISKERA
Situated in the channel between two islands this, small
marina offers quiet relaxation surrounded by clear water
where we have collected mussels and oysters from the rocks.
DUGI
OTOK
Lying to the north of Piskera, Dugi Otok
offers numerous anchorages at both the south and north
ends of the island. We would expect to spend a couple
of days cruising around the island -- perhaps a good place
for a BBQ.
LOSINJ
The port of Mali Losinj provides our overnight
stop on this large crescent shaped island. An important
trading post in the island chain, Losinj has remains
dating from the Bronze Age as well as Roman Villas.
VERDUGA/PULA
Returning to the mainland coast we reach the Pula
peninsula. Verduga offers a relaxing anchorage for
a swim before arriving in our final port of Pula.
Overlooking our marina berth in Pula is possibly
one of the best preserved Roman Amphitheatres. It dates
from around AD 80 having been started in the reign of Emperor
Claudius. There are many more remains including the Hercules
gate, the arch of the Sergians and the temple to
Augustus. The Pula Marina is close to the
airport.
