Yachting travel itinerary from Venice to Croatia
Aside from the fishing and having no idea how to yacht, this vacation plan seemed interesting.
Remember, you have only one week to submit entries to the 1,000 dollar travel writing contest. We have 15 or so entries so far and there are 5 prizes.
Here's an outline of the Venice to Croatia yachting travel plan I linked to above:
Day 1: Arrive in Venice.
Day 2: Rovinj and the beautiful palace of Tito.
Days 3 & 4: Pag Island: Cruise the interior waters between islands.
Day 5: Kornati Islands. Fish for bluefin tuna.
Day 6: Sibenik/Skradin Marina/Krka Falls. You will travel in the yacht up a windy river gorge with high cliffs on each side into a lake, where you will tie up at Skradin Marina. You can hire a tourist boat privately to take you up to Krka Falls and the monastery.
Day 7: Hvar Island.
Day 8: Brac. Bol has a fantastic beach. The medieval town of Korcula is gorgeous.
Day 9: Mljet Island. An island within the island has a monastery that you can visit by hired boat. Also features Karst caves, beautiful beaches, remains of Ilyrian castles, Roman ruins, a well-preserved part of an early Byzantine palace, and an early Christian basilica.
Day 10: Dubrovnik. Disembark.
