Dubrovnik, Croatia: The ultimate guide to a week of island hopping George Bernard Shaw, when he saw Dubrovnik, uttered; "Those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik and see Dubrovnik" Dubrovnik, a medieval city in the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, is one of the world's most beautiful and well-preserved tourist destinations. The city's architecture is a harmonious blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, and its location on the Adriatic Sea makes it an ideal spot for swimming, sunbathing, and sailing. Dubrovnik's historic success as a maritime republic is due in part to its skilled diplomacy, and the city's status as a World Heritage Site is well deserved. Highlights of a visit to Dubrovnik include the Rector's Palace, St. Blaise's Church, Lovrijenac and the city walls. With its idyllic setting and stunning architecture, Dubrovnik is a city that should not be missed. Come, meet EarthÃ¢â¬â¢s haven.

Day 1

Dubrovnik: Playwright George Bernard Shaw was enchanted by this beautiful city, famously describing it asÃ¢â¬Â the pearl of the AdriaticÃ¢â¬Â. Dubrovnik truly is a stunning city with its amazing Old Town and its many sights, including the well-preserved city walls which you can walk along.

Day 2

Mlijet: Mljet is an island off the coast of Croatia that is relatively untouched and unknown. The island is home to olive groves, vineyards, rich forests and pristine beaches. The island is a popular destination for tourists looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and to enjoy the tranquility of nature. Visitors to the island can hike through the forests, swim in the crystal-clear waters, or relax on the beach. Mljet is well known for its rich cultural heritage, of which the most impressive example is the 12th century Benedictine monastery complex, located on the small islet in the middle of the lake-inlet. A must-see is the Mljet National Park that covers the western part of this island. This park is significant because of the two deep gulfs, called lakes, due to their narrow connection to the open sea, and its dense, diverse Mediterranean vegetation. There are also a number of restaurants and cafes on the island, as well as a few small shops. The island of Mljet is truly a magical place where visitors can escape the everyday world and experience the beauty of nature.

Day 3

Korcula: Be sure to visit the wooded island of Korcula, as it was named by the ancient Greeks. ItÃ¢â¬â¢s known for the beauty of its nature and for the richness of its historical culture and traditional heritage. The Gothic and Renaissance buildings, palaces, churches, streets and squares emphasise the harmonious ground plan inside the old town walls of the city of Korcula. For centuries, stone cutting and shipbuilding have been the most important professions in this town. It took local builders 150 years to erect the cathedral of St. Marcus, the most notable building in Korcula. The old knightÃ¢â¬â¢s dance, Moreska, dating from the 15th century, evokes the battles with the Moors and was popular all over the Mediterranean. Today it has only been preserved on the island Korcula. The greatest world traveller, Marco Polo, also began his great journey in this town.

Day 4

Vis and Bisevo: The island of Bisevo is south-west of the island of Vis. Many caves have been carved into its steep coast. Among these, Ã¢â¬ÅModra SpiljaÃ¢â¬Â the Blue Cave, with entrances both above and below sea level, should be singled out. When the cave is calm, the light diffracts through the water, painting the interior of the cave blue. Anything below the water line is silver, and the contrast is stark. It's beautiful here, peaceful and still. The effect rivals that of the well-known Blue Grotto cave on Capri. If youÃ¢â¬â¢re very lucky, youÃ¢â¬â¢ll come across the protected species of the Mediterranean monk seal, although it has not been seen in these waters for a long time. We strongly suggest you visit the island of Vis, known for its fishermen, seafarers and beautiful nature. The Greeks founded their first colony on Vis (formerly known as Issa) and planted the first grapevine there as early as the 4th century. Two churches from the 16th and the 17th centuries have been preserved, as well as a number of Renaissance houses.

Day 5

Hvar: The longest Adriatic island, Hvar, holds the longstanding record for the most number of sunny days per year. A lot could be said about the cultural traditions on Hvar. The oldest relief of a ship in Europe was found here and the oldest community theatre in Europe was founded here in 1612, on one of the largest Renaissance squares. ThereÃ¢â¬â¢s also the Renaissance cathedral with its original tower, rich treasury and many paintings by Old Masters. Several late Gothic buildings have been preserved on one of the largest squares, the most prominent among them being the unfinished palace of the Renaissance poet Petar Hektorovic. In addition to its natural beauty, Hvar is also famous for its St. KlementÃ¢â¬â¢s islands Ã¢â¬ÅPakleni OtociÃ¢â¬Â Ã¢â¬â small, partially wooded islands with gravel and sandy beaches. In the pine forest beyond, thereÃ¢â¬â¢s a fortress. Although the name Hvar means Ã¢â¬ËHell IslandsÃ¢â¬â¢, they are not menacing at all. In fact, youÃ¢â¬â¢ll find quite the opposite on these sensational islands.

Day 6

Brac: Brac is the highest and third largest island in the Adriatic. The white stone of Brac has been used in many famous buildings all over the world, from the palace of Diocletian in Split to the White House in Washington. The Glagolitic stone Ã¢â¬ÅPustinja BlacaÃ¢â¬Â or Blaca Hermitage is the most unusual architectural monument on Brac. You can find traditional seaside pleasures are in the plentiful bays and sandy beaches, which form the long, well-indented coast of Brac. The biggest attraction is Bol, the largest tourist centre on the south of the island. The beaches all have something special to offer, especially the Ã¢â¬ÅZlatni RatÃ¢â¬Â Golden Cape spit.

Day 7

Dubrovnik: Return to Dubrovnik and bid farewell to unforgettable Croatia with some final time on board your yacht, before exploring DubrovnikÃ¢â¬â¢s charms one last time.
