This
is another favorite cruise and offers the chance to sail
a more or less circular route, including some mainland ports
as well as some of the islands.
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.
SOLTA
A small island lying close to Split provides a pleasant
swimming stop during our first day of cruising.
TROGIR
Stands on the foundations of an ancient Greek settlement
on a small island connected to the mainland 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.
U.
SICENICA
A deep fjord like bay which provides excellent surroundings
for a lunch-time stop and swim in the clear blue waters.
PRIMOSTEN
A small picturesque fishing village, originally built on
an island which is now joined to the mainland by a causeway.
There are two small harbors here and if we are fortunate
enough we can sneak inside the wall of the outer harbor.
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 turing 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 stock up on fresh
local produce and wines here.
PROVAC
& ZLARIN ISLANDS
Lying just opposite Sibenik these small islands offer
village ports and anchorages for your Interpac charter yacht
to spend a night after your visit to the Krka Falls
of Skardin or, if we have time, we can sail onto
the landlocked anchorage of Rogoznica. An ideal bay
for some water sports or an evening barbeque on baord while
we are anchored off this picturesque fishing harbor.
BRAC
An early start sees us on the way for a sail to the island
of Brac, anchoring in the clear waters of Stipanska
for lunch and a well earned swim.
HVAR
ISLAND
In the afternoon we move on the this island, arriving in
the main port town of Hvar. This attractive town
harbor is always a popular destination. We can either anchor
in the middle of the bay or sail to the island of Palmizanen
where there is a very picturesque marina set in a natural
bay. These spectacular islands offer many bays and pretty
anchorages, which are well worth seeing. We would usually
spend at least a couple of days cruising around Hvar
before moving on.
FROM
HVAR THERE ARE TWO ROUTES TO BRING US BACK TO SPLIT
MAKARSKA
Sailing up the mainland coast along the north side of Brac
brings us to Makarska. Situated under a spectacular
mountain range the port of Makarska is a natural
harbor with good facilities for over our night stop.
OR...
MILNA
On the west coast of Brac is the tiny port of Milna,
which is a pleasant days sail from Hvar island and
well situated for our final approach to Split. Set
in a deep indented fjord Milna is an old fishing
village.
