CROATIA - DALMATIAN COAST KAYAKING
|
|
|
|
|
Europe’s most beautiful unspoiled coastline lies in Croatia. Here mountains meet the sea and form the sun-drench Dalmatian Coast. Scattered along this shore is an archipelago of 1000 spectacular islands where traditional hospitality and a relaxed lifestyle are still the norm. These islands boast glorious stretches of intricate shoreline set against backdrops of olive groves and vineyards. Our expedition begins in Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Europe’s best preserved medieval walled cities (Lord Byron called it “the Pearl of the Adriatic”). It ends in Trogir, another charming ancient town and also a World Heritage Site with a profusion of Romanesque and Renaissance architecture near the city of Split. Our home on this trip is aboard an elegantly appointed 100-foot classic sailing yacht. From this mothership we paddle along dramatic sea cliffs, explore sea caves and pocket beaches that are only accessible by kayak, and swim in warm azure water. Ashore we go for short hikes to historic fortresses and meander through timeless Venetian villages, stopping to sip coffee or to dine at little sidewalk cafes draped in bougainvillea and jasmine. An adventure not to be missed!
