Sailing Croatia to Italy

Ten days sailing the Adriatic from Croatia into Italy, with Slovenia thrown in along the way. You move by boat between coves, islands and old coastal towns rather than following a fixed bus-and-hotel itinerary.

The route runs from the quieter islands of the Kvarner Gulf down through Pula, across to Piran and Portorož on the Slovenian coast, and finishes in Venice. The itinerary flexes to suit what the group wants to see and do, so no two sailings run quite the same.

Expect swimming stops, coastal wine and seafood, and a good amount of time simply on deck watching the coastline change as you cross three countries in one trip.

What you'll do

• Sail and swim around the coves and cliffs of the Kvarner Gulf islands
• Taste Croatian wine in the old Roman city of Pula
• Wander the sister towns of Piran and Portorož on the Slovenian coast
• Arrive into Venice by boat as your final stop
• Eat fresh Adriatic seafood along the way
