On day 3 you'll explore Hvar's lavender fields and old town, followed by day 4 on Vis Island with a possible trip to the Blue Cave.

As one TourRadar traveler shared: "Each day brought new adventures, from swimming in crystal clear bays to exploring charming medieval towns, making every moment memorable."

You'll stop at several beautiful islands and towns along the way. There's Hvar with its hilltop fortress and fun nightlife, the peaceful salt lakes of Mljet National Park, and Korčula where Marco Polo was born. You can't miss the distinctive Golden Horn beach on Brač or a visit to the magical Blue Cave on Biševo. As reviewed by a TourRadar traveler: "The itinerary perfectly balanced exploring medieval towns like Korčula with relaxing at pristine beaches and hidden coves along the Dalmatian Coast."

If you're looking for something more upscale, APT offers a 7-day luxury cruise stopping at Brač, Hvar and the Elaphiti Islands.

As quoted by TourRadar travelers, "the journey offers perfect opportunities to explore hidden bays and secluded coves while enjoying the stunning coastline views."

What's the standard meal arrangement on these sailing tours?

You'll usually get breakfast and lunch on the boat, while dinners are on your own at local restaurants in port.

TourRadar travelers noted that "the onboard lunches were excellent, featuring fresh local ingredients and Croatian specialties."
