Krknjaši: The most beautiful beach on the Island of Drvenik Veli is the Krknjaši beach, guarded by a bay and two islands, Big and Small Krknjaš, in the southeast part of the island. The location makes it rather close to towns Trogir and Split. It is a perfect location for all the yachtsmen as it can be a

Day 2, Sunday: Maslinica Vrboska (Island of Hvar), swimming at Bol (Island of Brač) (20 NM) Vrboska: Vrboska is the smallest town on the Island of Hvar, but at the same time one of its main attractions. It is also known as Little Venice thanks to its specific architecture, which covers many different style periods and is full of bridges crossing the canal that intercepts the town. That charm comes from the fact that Vrboska is an ancient town that changed a lot during the course of history. It offers you rich vegetation (mostly pine woods), crystal-clear sea and a great local experience. You must not miss its traditional gastronomic offer, consisting mostly of fresh fish, season food and some of the best Croatian wines. It is a perfect location for experiencing a mixture of an old traditional local town and a developed tourist destination, visible in the town s two parts, Pjaca and Podva.

4 Bol: Bol is one of the most popular tourist places in the south Adriatic. This small town located on the south side of the Island of Brač will surely impress you: it enjoys a mild climate, hot and dry summer months, beautiful nature, various types of beaches (sand, pebble) and a crystalclear sea.
