DALMATIA ITINERARY - FROM VENICE TO ŠIBENIK
Board the yacht at Riva Sette Martiri, Venice, a 10 minute walk from St Marcos square, just at the entrance to the Grand Canal. Spend a day or two here exploring this most beautiful city from the best possible vantage point, a private yacht. Depart Venice late in the evening for a short overnight trip to Porec.
Day 2: Poreč
Arrive in Porec, Croatia at first light for customs and immigration clearance. Porec is a small village but is home to the World Heritage Site - the 6th century Christian Basilica of Bishop Euphrasius, featuring beautiful gold mosaics, and a mosaic floor dating back to the 3rd century.
Day 3 & 4: Pula
Head south along the Istria Peninsula, past Pula. Here, a well-preserved amphitheatre built during the reign of Emperor Claudius in the 1st century dominates the skyline. Further south, move into the Bay of Kvarnar and view the numerous off-shore islands. Most have excellent sheltered anchorages, ideal for water sports.
Day 5 & 6: Kornati island
Past the large islands of the Bay of Kvarnar are the Kornati Islands, many of which are part of a national park. The islands are barren, with a lunarscape beauty. The crystal clear waters make swimming irresistible. Navigating among the islands can be exciting, with some passages barely wider than the yacht!
Day 7: Šibenik
The next town of any size, Sibenik, is on the shores of the Bay of Knarnar. The narrow entrance is lined with artificial caves, built to hide submarines and torpedo boats during World War II. It is possible to take an excursion from Sibenik by local boat up-river to the magnificent waterfalls at Krka.
