Quiet anchorages are the point of this week. Lastovo brings the “away from it all” feeling, while Mljet adds its lakes and green coastline—then Korčula and Ston provide just enough town life to keep things interesting.
Most days are comfortable in distance, with plenty of sheltered alternatives, so the itinerary can stay elegant even when conditions change.
Key Points
- A 7-day itinerary beginning and ending in Dubrovnik.
- Highlights include Mljet National Park, Lastovo’s protected bays, Korčula Old Town, and Pelješac (Ston & coastal coves).
- Can be sailed in the reverse order depending on weather and your preferred rhythm.
Who is it Suitable For?
- Guests who prioritise calm overnights, clear-water swimming, and nature-led days
- Families and mixed groups who appreciate shorter legs and plenty of flexibility
If you’d like a livelier week: we can shift one night into Korčula Town and keep more evenings in port (berths permitting).
