Sail the Adriatic from Murter, the entryway to Kornati. Visit the car-free serenity of Zlarin, the dynamic culture of Hvar, and the natural beauty of Lastovo. Explore Mljet's national park, the winds of Korčula, and the maintained charm of Vis. End in isolated Žirje and the Kornati archipelago, with a stay in Telaščica Bay.
Begin your southern Adriatic sailing trip in Murter, the entry point to the Kornati islands. It's a sanctuary for individuals looking for peace and quiet, separated from the mainland by a drawbridge. Murter, which has tourism roots reaching back to the 1930s, offers a mix of popular and isolated coves, as well as the Hramina Marina in the north.
Continue sailing to Zlarin, Šibenik's third-largest island, which is known for its lush forests and coral harvesting. With no cars allowed, it's a popular destination for yachtsmen looking for peace and quiet. The port protects against specific winds, making it a favourite among sailors.
Hvar is the Adriatic's shining star, recognized for its strategic location, ancient attractions, and active nightlife. Its attraction is enhanced by lavender fields, beautiful beaches, and the scenic Pakleni islands.
On to Lastovo, a remote oasis where time appears to have stopped; its ancient village centre and unique stone homes, which have been designated as a natural park, provide an authentic Mediterranean ambience. Sailing places like Skrivena Luka and Zaklopatica are not to be missed.
Explore Mljet, one of the Adriatic's greenest islands. It's an eco-tourist's dream, as it's home to Mljet National Park, which features two salt lakes and a Benedictine monastery. The climate is Mediterranean, and the island is one of the sunniest in the Adriatic.
Sail north to Korčula, a tiny canal separating it from the Peljšac peninsula. The island's southern and northern coasts, known for their favourable winds, offer a variety of sailing conditions as well as a richness of historical attractions.
Continue your journey to Vis, an island rich in history and Mediterranean charm. It was once cut off due to military presence, but it is today a thriving tourist destination that retains its natural splendour. Vis and Komiža feature well-protected harbours that are perfect for anchoring.
Finally, make your way to Žirje, the most remote inhabited island in the Šibenik archipelago. Its bays provide natural protection, and its underwater landscape thrills divers.
Finish your tour in the Kornati archipelago with a recommended overnight stay in Telaščica Bay on Dugi Otok, which is also on our northern itinerary.
