Sailing the Croatian coast

From Dubrovnik to Split we saw some of Croatia’s most amazing mainland and island towns. The eight day Busabout tour departed Dubrovnik on a Saturday and travelled to Mljet, Korcula, Stari Grad, Hvar, Brac, Bol, Makarska, Pucisca, Omis and Split where it docked on Friday afternoon for the last night.

We explored Old Town Dubrovnik, the tour group bonded over a captain’s BBQ dinner in Mljet, enjoyed cocktails at Korcula’s rooftop bar, walked to the top of the fortress and partied in Hvar, marvelled over the scenery and enjoyed the beach and markets in Makarska, saw the famous Bol beach, white water rafted in Omis and shopped in Split.

The tour was a great way to see so much of Croatia. It included breakfast and lunch and had the option of below/above deck and ensuite/shared bathrooms to suit all budgets. It was a lot of fun but I think the experience you have on sail Croatia highly depends on the group you get. We were lucky to have a group of people who were travelling in no more than twos so everyone mingled and enjoyed each others company. I think we were pretty lucky as there were some boats which we were glad we weren’t on.
