Mark. Tonight, enjoy dinner on us in a local restaurant.

We sail from Korcula to Hvar, Croatia’s sunniest island
and a delightful seaside resort with 8 centuries of
architecture. On our walking tour, there is a pinescented breeze as we explore the picturesque little
streets of the old town, and the first public theatre in
Europe. There is free time to pop into craft shops or
cafes, tucked into old Venetian palaces. We board our

around the Palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, a
UNESCO World Heritage Site. Next, we see the remnants
of Split’s Roman heritage, its Renaissance and Gothic
structures, Jupiter’s Temple and its Cathedral. The

history and rich cultural heritage. The evening is at

historical center. We admire the 16th century Port Gate
where the Venetian lion still guards the entrance. We
also see the Square of the Five Wells, the Church of St.
Donat, the Roman Forum, and the largest cathedral in
Dalmatia, St. Anastasia. Later on, there is time for

our ship, there is the Captain’s dinner with live
