Your journey begins at 15:00 with check-in at the marina of Rodi Garganico, a quiet coastal gem nestled in the heart of Puglia. After meeting the crew and settling into your cabin, set sail across the shimmering Adriatic toward Palagruža, a remote island cloaked in solitude. The gentle sway of the boat and the distant horizon set the pace for the week ahead. After a 3–4 hour crossing, anchor beneath a canopy of stars in complete stillness.
Meals: Snacks,and dinner
Wake early to greet the day with a gentle sunrise hike on Palagruža, tracing coastal paths that echo with the sound of waves and seabirds. Back onboard, enjoy a hearty brunch before embarking on an 8–9 hour sail to Lastovo. Arrive in the late afternoon, where you can stretch your legs again on a short guided hike into Lastovo’s untouched wilds, or enjoy a sunset walk with golden light cascading over ancient hills.
Spend your morning immersed in Lastovo’s rugged terrain with a scenic cliffside hike, surrounded by Mediterranean scrub, birdsong, and open sea views.
After lunch aboard, enjoy a 3-4 hour sail to Korčula, an island rich with history and dramatic ridgelines. Close the day with an evening ascent to one of the island’s southeast peaks, where panoramic views reward your efforts as the sun dips into the sea.
Meals: Breakfast/brunch, lunch, snacks and dinner
Begin the day with a coastal trek across Korčula, tracing olive groves, fishing coves, and breezy ridges. After the hike, set sail to Hvar’s southern shore, where vertical cliffs plunge into turquoise depths. Here, you can try your hand at deep-water solo climbing or leap from sun-warmed rocks into the sea. A day that blends calm beauty with adrenaline.
Today’s route leads skyward on Hvar’s Via Ferrata. Safely secured to steel cables, climb steep limestone walls as the island unfolds below in a patchwork of vineyards and shimmering sea. After the summit, return to the coast for a relaxed brunch and spend your afternoon snorkeling through quiet bays, where the silence of the sea soothes body and mind.
Wander Hvar’s famous lavender trails, where fragrant hillsides lead to scenic lookouts and panoramic sea views. Choose between short or moderate hikes as the breeze carries herbal scents through stone villages and winding paths. In the afternoon, sail 3-4 hours to Vis, arriving in time to soak in the island’s storied charm and evening calm.
Set off for a final hike on Vis, exploring ancient ruins, olive terraces, and hidden coves where history and nature converge. Then sail to nearby Biševo for a final dinner by the sea. As dusk turns to night, begin your 8-12 hour overnight crossing back to Italy, carried home by the stars and the gentle rhythm of the Adriatic.
Share a final breakfast with your crew and fellow hikers before disembarking at 9:00 in Rodi Garganico. With your pack full of memories and your legs still humming from the trails, say your goodbyes and begin your journey home.
