Highlights
Day by day
DAY 1 SATURDAY - SPLIT TO SESULA
Check-In at Split Old Town. Sesula is our protected habrour for our first night. We'll be tied to a mooring buoy for the evening so expect to be overcome by the urge to jump in at any moment.
First meal: D - Onshore at First Island
Docking: Mooring Buoy - Dinghy to shore
DAY 2 SUNDAY - SESULA TO VIS
With sparkling waters and a rich gastronomic, architectural, military and onshore activities offering, you could visit Vis for a week and still not see everything. It was most recently the set for Mamma Mia the sequel. The main harbour is where we'll dock so you can walk along to see the 'doors of Vis', the archeological museum, and cocktail bars. Inland there are some impressive farm locations for dinner that are a 10 minute taxi ride. There is no pressure to see the whole Island now because we'll have tomorrow morning and evening as we dock at Komiza on the other side of the Island. The Island was Tito's military headquarters and closed off the world for decades.

Docking: Vis Harbour - Walk On/Off as you wish
DAY 3 MONDAY - VIS TO KOMIZA + BISEVO (BLUE CAVE)
We sail around for our second night on Vis, to the fishing village of Komiza. From here there is an excursion to the majestic Blue Cave on Bisevo. Make your way into the centre of the Island for some cycling and country air and you might want to consider the MIlitary tunnels tour. Komiza is famous for the local catch of the day and overlooking the harbour.

DAY 4 TUESDAY - KOMIZA TO HVAR (LAGOON BAY)
On this suggested itinerary we overnight away from the crowds at any aptly-named lagoon bay on the island of Hvar. You're still able to visit the world famous Hvar Town, but at the end of the night, this bay is the perfect setting for night swims and sleeping under the stars. For history lovers wander the gigantic Spanish Fortress set above Hvar Town which is the party capital of Croatian summers. Beach clubs and Cocktail bars are on tap.
B - Onboard, L - Onboard, D - Onshore
Docking: Lagoon Bay - Dinghy to shore
DAY 5 WEDNESDAY - HVAR (LAGOON BAY) TO STARI GRAD
After the party lights in Hvar Town, we Island hop to Stari Grad which translated means 'Old Town'. It was the original capital of the Island of Hvar and is a picturesque seaside harbour town. Wander the quay side and small alleys to select a restaurant for the evening or ask your skipper for suggestions. We always want to know you've eaten well and we know the restaurants for all price levels.
B - Onboard, L - Onboard, D - Onshore
Docking: Stari Grad Harbour - Walk On/Off as you wish
DAY 6 THURSDAY - STARI GRAD TO BOBOVISCA
Nonna's village is what this itinerary is named after. It means grandma's village and it's because of the small village that is home to a lovely family and their grandma. Lamb on the spit and fresh salad ingredients from their farm is the highlight. This is very much a Getaway Sailing icon location. We were the first sailing company to come here back in 2012.
The yacht is docked in Bobovisca bay - think of warm temperature Adriatic waters for swims.

Voyage back to Split today. We take our time and make sure you have lots of time to top-up the tan. Walk to the West Coast for dinner or explore the restaurants in Split Old Town.
