The cruise departs from Opatija, alternatively known as the gateway to the wonderful Istria food and wine region. The region is well-known for its truffles, family wineries, olive oil and its pristine hilltop and artist-filled villages.
The cruise will sail through many remote destinations, like the striking and unspoiled island of Losinj, known as the “Island of Wellness and Vitality” to locals. Here, visitors can take a plunge into the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, before arriving at the town of Mali Losinj, which boasts one of the most beautiful harbours in the area, where a local guide will show guests the delights of this charming fishing village.
Also, there’s a visit to Cres, the least developed island of Croatia which has plenty of olive trees and vineyards, all topped off with a rugged landscape ideal for an afternoon walk. Cres is perhaps the most appealing stop on the cruise, is full of deserted hamlets, caves, and unspoiled beaches, as the main town has an loads of history buried within its walls: the town was ruled by Romans, Byzantines, and the first independent Croatians, as well as the Venetians, and each of these civilizations left their mark.
