CRUISE IN CROATIA
(Cro1)
– 2nd to 9th September 06
Cost
€800 - Charter/Tuition/ excl.Flights
(Flights
ex- Dublin to Dubrovnik – Aer Lingus or Charter Airline)
From
our exploratory trips in September 2004 & 05, I can confirm that all the
wonderful things we heard about Croatia and its islands are true. The scenery is
fantastic, sailing distances between marinas/anchorages very manageable, the
waters are friendly, sun shine is almost guaranteed, food is excellent (mainly
fish) and the people are most welcoming. What more can you ask? - yes, the
sailing is exhilarating when the wind blows and the opportunities for pilotage
are numerous. Perfect training and play ground. You can also indulge yourself as
a tourist in the likes of Dubrovnik, Korcula, Hvar, Mjlet and Vis Islands among
many others.

Places
of Interest
Dubrovnik
-(formerly
the Republic of Ragusa!) - an imposing walled city, built on a small isthmus
whose centuries old atmosphere has remained virtually intact, a beautiful city
well worth exploring. It has World Cultural Heritage status - on a stroll from
one city gate to the other, you will meet the Romanesque and Gothic to the high
Renaissance to Baroque.
Korcula
town -
most precious jewel in the Adriatic. Small and extremely well preserved, it is a
small town with St Marks Church and the Bishops Palace with its museum.
Mljet
Is, National
Park (SW Croatia) - most seductive island in the Adriatic, with deep
bays/lakes and the remains of Benedictine monastery.
Split
- Its well preserved Roman Architecture is interlaced with several later
periods. No doubt it is the busiest city on the Croatian Adriatic coast and the
liveliest old timer amongst all Croatian cities.
Croatia
has 1000 islands, 66 of which are inhabited - making a sailing holiday here a
special experience.
The
superb beauty of the islands of Brac, Korcula, Hvar, Mjlet and Vis is a
very good excuse for exploring this area.
Prevailing
winds in the Adriatic
- Bora - (N E and can
be strong)
-
Sirocco - (S E - can last for days)
-
Mistral - (N W - stable weather wind)
