The excursion takes us to Korčula Island, the birthplace of Marco Polo, which was built on the foundations of a Greek
colony, and is now a historical and tourist centre of the largest island in the Dubrovnik region. It is famous for its
streets that branch off of the main street forming a fishbone shape and well-preserved Gothic and Renaissance buildings.
After Korčula we will sail away to the Mljet.
The island of Mljet is one of the most beautiful islands on the Adriatic Coast with two amazing salt-water lakes,
peaceful bays and small fisherman villages. In 1960 the western part of the island was proclaimed as the national
park. Take a pathway through the thick pine forest leading to the Small Lake and the Great Lake and breathe in air
full of fragrances of the Mediterranean vegetation.
Boat ride across the Great Lake to the islet of St Mary for
a tour of the magnificent Benedictine Abbey founded in the 12th century by Apulia Benedictines. This secluded
abbey was a dwelling place to a number of prominent Benedictine writers and scientists.
Sportswear and swimwear recommended.
*In case of bad weather or sea conditions the tour can be shortened or cannot reach the agreed destination.
For safety reasons, a different route or destination might be taken to shorten the excursion.
