Itinerary
- Saturday
DAY 1 PULA >>> Arrival, transfer to Pula Marina, Croatia. Check-in on the boat after lunch. Safety briefing. Meeting the team. Grocery shopping Pula is the largest city, cultural and tourist center of Istria. Pula was founded by the ancient Greeks, then they were replaced by the Romans, but the Venetians, who controlled it for 600 years, had the greatest influence on the appearance of the city. We definitely recommend visiting the fruit and fish markets.
- Sunday
Day 2 PULA >>> ROVINJ Rovinj is one of the most beautiful cities in the Istrian region. Its ancient part is located on a hill to the north of the marina. There is the Cathedral of St. Euphemia. It's hard to say what is more beautiful here - the panorama of the sea and islands from the top of the hill or the view of Rovinj rising out of the water on the left side of the yacht.
- Monday
Day 3 ROVINJ >>> BRIJUNI The Brijuni archipelago is the most beautiful nature reserve in Croatia. We will pass it on a yacht, swim in the clear sea, and watch beautiful sunsets. In the Brijuni archipelago, you can meet wild animals walking freely around the reserve and many beautiful trees: oaks, laurels, rosemary. The rocks here are of an interesting white color, which makes them very similar to marble.
- Tuesday
DAY 4 BRIJUNI >>> VENICE We'll buy groceries and prepare for the night crossing from Croatia to Italy - in the morning we will be already in Venice. The crossing will be 55 miles. If you want to get an interesting experience, then you can keep a night watch with the skipper and learn a lot about the yacht and the nuances of long voyages.
DAY 5-7 VENICE >>> We will walk around Venice and visit an important event in modern European culture - the 17th International Architecture Biennale. Tickets for two days are already included in the price of our trip, and your captain, an architect, will be with us at the expositions and will help you better understand everything you see.
