Southern route
Since 2002
A voyage full of contrasts: the juxtaposition of two larger Croatian islands – the least and the most populated: the green Mljet and the vibrant Korčula. On the rugged and dramatic Pelješac Peninsula, jackals bid each other goodnight. We can also experience the contrast of Croatia’s finest wines – the white Pošip and the red Dingač – right where they originate. The grand finale awaits us with the monumental wall of the Biokovo mountain range, one of the highest on the Mediterranean coast.
