Detailed Itinerary
Split, Croatia
Bathing in the Dalmatian Coast's generous sunshine, and overlooking sparkling, island-studded waters, Split is a city of romantic beauty, built around an extraordinary - still beating - historical heart. The setting may be spectacular, but it's the Diocletian's Palace - a Roman remain of incredible scale and detail that is truly bewitching. While immensely historic, Split hasn't been afraid to move with the times, and the stone walls encasing the streets are alive with buzzy bars and quiet nooks, where bottles of red wine are uncorked and delicious meals devoured. With a natural backdrop of dramatic limestone mountains, and Croatia's trademark scenic wonders all around, Split is a true heavyweight of the Adriatic. To enter Split's Diocletian's Palace is to step into a beautiful time warp. Head first to the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, where a hollow bell tower rockets up, puncturing the sky. The palace's cellars can shelter you from a little of the heat and give space for everything from wine festivals to souvenir stalls. The perfume of lavender hangs heavy wherever you walk in the old town, where tucked shops offer artisan chocolates, dried figs, and freshly ground coffees. The expansive seafront promenade is all palm trees, buzzing bars, and eateries. Further out you'll find the peace of Marion Hill - where you can climb to some of the best views in town. Or, take the far less exerting wander to Sustipan cemetery's breathtaking panorama of sea, city, and distant islands. Trips to island paradises like Hvar and Brac are tempting, as are longer excursions to sites like Krka National Park's Waterfalls - where wide terraces of frothing water thunder into cooling, swimmable splash pools below. Nearby Trogir is another UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering a cozier, no less charming old town, and historic port.
Zadar, Croatia
Croatia's Capital of Cool, Zadar is a dazzling mesh of influences and creativity. Romans founded the city before the Venetians, Austrians, French, and Italians all had their say, leaving a wealth of architectural interest. Glorious turquoise-water beaches and heavenly waterfalls also lie within easy reach of this energetic city of festivals and outdoor fun. See the old town, with its robust city walls, boasting decorative stone gateways and marble streets. The church of St Donatus was built from stones pillaged from the Roman forum, while Zadar Cathedral - Dalmatia's biggest - stands among the many architectural treats of this city, which was once an impenetrable stronghold of Venice's republic. Head for the 'pillar of shame' with its chains to humiliate the criminals of a bygone time - or succumb to the tempting treats of shopping in the market. The sparkling Adriatic waters call you, and Kolovare Beach is a mere ten-minute wander from the old town. A day trip to Kornat National Park - which incorporates the Zadar Archipelago's immaculate scattering of beach-fringed islands - or to the divine waterfalls of Plitvice Lakes National Park, will introduce you to more of Croatia's thrilling natural beauty. The sea truly does sing here in Zadar, thanks to a unique waterfront artwork, which encapsulates the city's playful spirit. Designed to make music when the waves wash over it, the ebb and flow of the Adriatic plays the Sea Organ instrument like a maestro. Not far away, the Monument to the Sun is a 22-meter-wide disc, which gathers the sun's rays during sunny days and releases solar energy in the form of a magical light show after dark. Sit and admire the artwork coming to life, as one of the city's famous sunsets plays out before you.

Korcula, Croatia
Croatia's fractured Adriatic coast is scattered with hundreds of islands - but few can match the elegant beauty of lovely Korcula. Tucked away behind bustling Hvar, Croatia's sixth-largest island is a little harder to reach, making for a more peaceful affair. Decorated with beautiful medieval fortifications, time stands still as you stroll narrow paths, cutting between the stone facades of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. Hear the stomps of feet and clacks of swords rattling off of the walls, during traditional Moreška performances - an enchanting, authentic sword dance. Revelin Tower looms over the grand entrance to the walled old town - nicknamed Little Dubrovnik - which was built and fortified in 1485 to protect Korcula. The island is also said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo, and his former house contains a narrow staircase leading to Marco Polo Tower, which peeks above the tight streets. The majestic Cathedral of St. Mark also rises high, and you'll spot the gorgeous, vaulted bell tower, framed between narrow alleyways. Climb to the top for views of the red roof cluster, and sparkling Adriatic below. A beautiful island to explore, its dark blanket of pine tree forest led to the Greeks naming the island, Korkyra Melaina - or Black Corfu. Explore the gorgeous ring of coastline, which is lined with pebble beaches, sandy bays, and hidden coves. Or, indulge in the island's tastes - like luxurious olive oils and white wines grown from grapes including Posip, and Grk - cultivated only on this island.

Kotor, Montenegro
Embedded into the slopes of the steep Lovćen mountain, and overlooking the deep blue Adriatic, the fortified town of Kotor boasts a spectacular, imposing staging that few can match. Squeezing in through the tight Bay of Kotor is a daunting and impressive approach, as you arrive via one of Europe's most stunning waterways. A pearl of Montenegro and the Adriatic, Kotor's warren-like streets drip with history and authenticity. Under Venetian influence for four centuries, the city's UNESCO World Heritage Site old town invites you to wander amid atmospheric stone-clad streets, overlooked by a sea of terracotta roofs and the double towers of the cathedral. Protected by thick stone walls - and the mountains behind - Kotor draws comparisons with another fortified Adriatic wonder in Dubrovnik. Many favor Kotor for its compact layout, smaller crowds, and authenticity, however - having been spared from shelling during Yugoslavia's breakup. The tightknit streets here are patrolled by a slinking population of feline residents, who were adopted as the town's mascots, after being left behind by transient trader ships. Learn of the city's extensive heritage on the waves, in the dedicated maritime museum that is contained within Grgurina Palace. Pick your way through tight alleys of workshops and studios, walking below fresh laundry strung from windows, before settling into shiny, paved piazzas for an afternoon coffee or seafood meal. If you're up for an aerobic challenge, tackle the 1,350 steps up the steep walls to St. John's fortress. The views over the gorgeous bay make the arduous slog worth it, as you rise past the city's eye-catching 15th-century church bell tower.

Sarande, Albania
Overlooking the turquoise blue Ionian Sea, Albania's most southerly harbor is a short 20-minute boat ride from Corfu and bathes in the glow of more than 300 sunny days each year. Revel in Albania's best beach life, or explore historic ancient cities and fortresses embedded with immense archaeological interest. Clear turquoise waters lap the city's beaches, and there's always something to see along the lively Boulevard Hasan Tahsini - which traces the seafront and is stacked with bars, restaurants, and shops. The hardy, 16th-century Lekuresi Castle has been battered by weather and war over the years but it offers a fantastic lookout point to survey Sarande's expanse, Corfu's island, and the turquoise sea beyond. From here, you can head to the Blue Eye Spring, a rejuvenating natural landmark where a groundswell of the purest water gushes up 50 meters to surface amid the forest. Bathe in the immaculate waters, which are intensely refreshing on sunny days. The majestic ruins of Butrint's ancient city stand nearby, unearthed from the leafy site after the city was abandoned in medieval times. Albania's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, Butrint was an ancient Greek and Roman stronghold - and you can walk back in time along stone-paved streets to discover the immense history here. Roam between the compact Roman theater and the impressive arched windows of the basilica, before admiring the stunning floor mosaics that have been left behind.

Gallipoli, Italy
Taking its name from the Greek translation of 'beautiful city', Gallipoli has a big reputation to live up to. A gorgeous gem of the Ionian, this is an elegant city with water running through its veins. Surrounded on three sides by the sea, wander between the fish market, where tables groan below hauls of fresh seashells, and the harbor where little boats come and go all day long. Scooters weave along the old town's tight streets, dodge them while enjoying atmospheric strolls below the dangling flowerpot-laced balconies. Enclosed by 14th-century sea walls - and linked to the mainland by a 16th-century bridge - the island is dominated by Castello Angioino di Gallipoli, with its thick walls and imposing waterfront setting glaring out to sea. The grand baroque facade of the Basilica Cattedrale di Sant'Agata of 1629 stands in the center of the old town, showcasing intricate carvings, and harboring intense, dark paintings, and grand columns within. These sun-blessed landscapes produce a rich bounty of flavorful olives and grapes each year. The rich liquid gold of Gallipoli's olive oil is legendary, and the city is packed with underground olive oil factories, squeezing out the very best flavors. Puglia has several charming coastal towns, from the beautiful Baroque architecture of palaces and churches at Lecce, to the walled city of Otranto - which waits across the peninsular looking east. This pretty old town has a charming Medieval core, and its glowing beaches spread beside the Adriatic's blue waters. There is dark history lurking, however, and the bones of the 813 Martyrs of Otranto - massacred during a 15th-century Ottoman invasion - are stacked in the cathedral. They have recently been canonized as the town's patron saints.

Day at sea
Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and catch up with what you've been meaning to do. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, whale-watching, catching up on your reading, or simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring shoreside.
Syros, Greece
Beautiful sea, crisp white beaches, and charming medieval villages add character and color to this gorgeous Greek island. With its blockbuster neighbors Mykonos and Santorini, Syros flies a little under the radar at times - but the island's devoted fans wouldn't have it any other way. Part of the Cyclades group of islands, visit the capital, Ermoupoli, to discover a network of picturesque narrow streets and winding alleyways - dotted with fancy old Venetian mansions, and elegant domed churches. The colorful town cascades down to an open waterfront of pine trees and beautiful views. Head to the sparkling marbled central square, overlooked by the Town Hall and surrounded by a celebrated collection of neoclassical buildings facing up across narrow streets. A town of peeking bell towers and cobalt-blue domed churches - stop by the Church of the Assumption, which treasures an original El Greco wonder inside. Further up you'll find the small, monastery-sprinkled medieval village of Ano Syros. Settled on a hill, it offers a glorious view down over the port and white dwellings of Ermoupoli below. You can visit Capuchin Monastery, which was built in the 16th century to help the underprivileged. Encounter the Vamvakaris Museum, dedicated to Markos Vamvakaris, a famous rebetiko musician, born here in 1905. Of course, Syros is also surrounded by plenty of blissful beaches, if you'd rather hit the sands. Finikas Beach is nearby, and a long, luxurious stretch, complete with sunbeds and umbrellas. Perfect for catching some sun and shade, and watching the blue seawater twinkling.

Spetses, Greece
The timeless charm of old Greece endures on Spetses - a secluded Aegean Island, which exudes elegance and laid-back luxury. Nestled in the Saronic Gulf, Spetses is the idyllic retreat of choice for the well-heeled of Athens. Dotted with sprawling, character-rich mansions and gleaming yachts that rock softly in quiet coves. Hollywood's cameras also adore the cinematic atmosphere - and the waterfront Poseidonion Grand Hotel struts before a huddled hillside of terracotta-roofed houses. Character oozes from every alleyway, and with cars largely banished, wandering the tapering cobblestone streets below church bell towers and domes is a rare delight. Nurse a Greek coffee, while watching island life unfold, or follow pine needle scents towards serene beaches of crystal-clear waters. The house of naval hero Laskarina Bouboulina is now a museum with exhibitions telling tales of the first female Admiral, as well as the Greek War of Independence. Spetses' rebellious streak lives on - look for the fluttering blue and red flags of revolution, which were swiftly unfurled in 1821. The Armata Festival sees ships creaking, clashing, and exploding with fireworks during a spectacular reenactment.

Rethymnon (Island of Crete), Greece
A romantic arrival, below honey-colored Venetian fortifications, welcomes you to the historic heart of Rethymnon. Sandwiched between the sprawling city of Heraklion and the pretty old town of Chania, Rethymnon offers history and gorgeous swathes of wide sandy beaches. Delve into the area's heritage, beauty, and mythology - surrounded by legendary caves where Zeus is said to have lived, monasteries that perch on mountain slopes, and gorges that slice through dramatic island scenery. Hours slide past at the beautiful Venetian harbor, where coffee cups are cradled and conversations linger in the sun, as occasional fishing boats bob by. The 1830-40 era lighthouse sparkles in the sunshine nearby, while the overlooking 16th-century fortress is a stunning, fortified highlight. Towering minarets point to the Ottoman influence, among the Venetian flourishes. Rethymnon is one of Crete's prettiest places, and wandering the old town, soaking in the charm, is a day well spent. Stop off at ivy-tangled cafes in hidden courtyards, and admire colorful, ornate doorways. Wander to the sparkling water of Rimondi fountain, which has quenched the thirst of locals since 1626. To the east, Rethymno Beach unravels with well-maintained facilities and plenty of room to relax or swim in the warm Aegean's embrace. Episkopi Beach is another leisurely option to unwind to the west. Outside of Rethymnon, farms cultivate olives and grapes on the sunned slopes - best enjoyed with freshly baked bread and a selection of sheep's cheese. A splash of local raki - a moreish brandy shot - will also go down a treat. Or, dig deep into Crete's rich archaeological past and Minoan history at Knossos's ancient city, and the world-class Heraklion's Archaeological Museum.

Amorgos, Greece
If you feel a sense of deja vu when you arrive in Amorgos, don't be surprised. The little island in the Cyclades found fame in the late 1980s thanks to Luc Besson's cult film 'The Big Blue'. But movie stars aside (and for anyone who has seen the film, you know we are talking about the dolphins who are the real stars of the show), Amorgos is what everything a Greek island should be. Think pink bougainvillea climbing up every whitewashed wall and scarlet geraniums spilling out of every blue framed window. Small, friendly cafes line the (labyrinthine, cobbled) streets, beach bars serve tall glasses of cloudy ouzo over ice and traditional tavernas serve souvlaki and tzatziki. Amorgos might be most famous however for its lack of mass tourism. You won't find any wild nightclubs nor luxury boutiques here. Instead, you'll feel the pull of the past with the vestiges of a Minoan city, the beautiful 13th-century Venetian Kastro and its windmills, and the 11th-century Pangaea Hozoviotissa Monastery. Nature lovers will no doubt be in their element here too: seven main trails connect the villages. Most hikes take around an hour and are considered easy but there are one or two exceptions, so beware! Divers will also be happy; the southern end of the island is home to the famous shipwreck features in The Big Blue. Now rife with algae, it is a prime feeding spot for the local marine life.

Athens (Piraeus), Greece
A city of legend, civilization, and enduring culture, Athens is a majestic and magical urban sprawl. Extraordinary elegance and grace combine with grit and graft in Greece's capital, where highways encase ruins from antiquity, and gleaming museums and galleries stand beside concrete sprayed with edgy street art. These contrasts enhance and elevate the wonders of this 2,500-year-old city, however, which counts extraordinary contributions to philosophy, drama, and democracy, among its global legacy. Piraeus's giant port and naval base welcome you to the edge of Athens' urban area. From there it's a simple jaunt to the center. The majestic ancient citadel of the Acropolis dominates an elevated platform and is a constant presence as you explore the city. The wonderful remains of the columned temple of the Parthenon - which date back to the 5th century BC - stand here, representing the pinnacle of classical architecture. The nearby Acropolis Museum adds context to your visit and frames the broad views from its giant glass windows. Or rise up Mount Lycabettus, to be rewarded with perhaps Athens' best panorama of the Acropolis sitting high over the city on its grand stage. See the marble horseshoe of the Old Olympic Stadium, where the first modern Olympics were held in 1896, for more of the city's enduring legacy. Elsewhere, golden beaches and temples stretch out along the coastline, should you wish to explore a little further afield. Coffee is an art form to the Greeks, and it's an unwritten rule that coffee time must never be rushed. So prepare to settle down for a couple of hours and lose yourself in a good chat. Feeling hungry - try traditional souvlaki made with sauces handed from generation to generation.

Hozoviotissa Monastery & Chora
AMO-BVisit the island's trademark, the Byzantine Monastery of Hozoviotissa, wedged into a huge precipice at 300m from the sea, and then continue to Chora, one of the most picturesque villages in the Cyclades, on this half-day sightseeing excursion. Monastery of PanagiaHozoviotissa The island's top attraction is the 9thcentury cliffside monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa, dedicated to the Presentation of the Virgin, a spiritual haven and one of the most important ecclesiastic monuments in Greece.

Gallipoli - Pearl of the Ionian Sea
GAP-ADiscover the Old World landmarks, architecture and history of the 'Pearl of the Ionian Sea' during this picturesque walking tour of Gallipoli. When visiting Gallipoli travelers usually focus on three main words: pearl, rainbow and gold. Discover a labyrinthine weave of narrow streets that all eventually lead to the broader sea-front promenade with its wonderful views. Gallipoli Walking Tour Your guided tour begins at the port, where you may catch sight of local fishermen repairing their nets in a very picturesque setting. Fishing was, and still is, as important as olive oil for the local economy, and Gallipoli's marketplace has always been one of the most characteristic sites to visit. Your tour guide will tell you about the interesting history of the medieval town, of its Castle as well as of its Renaissance-style Fountain. The word pearl refers to Gallipoli's old town position, located on a very little island dividing the deep Ionian Gulf into two branches, each connected respectively to the main Ionian Magna Grecia city northwards, Taranto, and to the southernmost Apulian town, Leuca. Gallipoli Cathedral Enjoy a walk through the labyrinthine island and visit the stunning Cathedral completely covered with wonderful Baroque paintings, as if displayed in a gallery. The word rainbow refers to the dwellings painted in Mediterranean colours, lively and warm, arranged as to decorate its spider's web-like medieval town dominated by this huge Baroque Cathedral. Underground Olive Oil Factory The word gold is a symbol of wealth and is related to the large amount of olive oil produced in the city between the 17th and 19th centuries, and used to give light to the street lamps of the main European cities. Gallipoli's "liquid gold" export was so large that olive oil was stocked in the list exchange, and the ancient island was transformed into an "industrial" area where many underground factories and cisterns were carved out of the local limestone called carparo. Have the opportunity to learn about the olive oil production techniques used in the past, visiting one of the 35 underground oil factories recently restored. Discover how difficult life was for people working there, living with animals and leaving the factory only at the end of the process, sometimes between 6 and 9 months in total. Some free time will allow you to stroll around the old town and enjoy local life, before returning indipendently to the pier. Full participation requires being in good physical condition and may involve inclines, steps, uneven surfaces, and/or extended periods of standing.

Lecce - The Florence of the South
GAP-BExplore the splendid landmarks and Baroque architecture of the 'Florence of the South' during this half-day sightseeing excursion to historic Lecce. You can still see ruins of a Roman theatre and amphitheater, but the period which led to town's current fame was the 17th century. A period of prosperity led to grand developments and the wholesale construction of palaces and churches. These buildings adapted the fashionable Baroque style to the soft local stone, with decorations and cherubs extravagantly covering facades and doorways, this local style is known as barocco Leccese ('Lecce Baroque'). Lecce Walking Tour Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately one-hour drive through the beautiful Apulian countryside to Lecce. Situated south of Brindisi on the southeastern tip of Italy's 'boot', Lecce is home to sandstone buildings adorned with grand Baroque architecture and lavishly decorated facades featuring fanciful cherubs, monsters, flowers, fruit, beauties, and beasts. The local sandstone, tinged with a warm yellow nuance, is so easy to work that it encouraged the rise of a local style (Lecce Baroque) as ornate and intricate as any the world has seen. More than architects, it was the local stone masons who left their mark on this city. Lecce Cathedral and Palaces Your visit to Lecce begins at Porta Napoli, one of the oldest gateways to the town. A guided walking tour takes you through narrow streets filled with exquisite palaces en route to Piazza Duomo where the magnificent Cathedral as well as the Archbishop's Palace is located. The Cathedral was built between 1659 and 1670 by Giuseppe Zimbalo on a pre-existing Romanesque church. The main façade, facing both Archbishop's and Seminary's Palaces, is not so decorated, while the side façade facing the square is an explosion of Baroque architecture with Lecce's patron saint, Saint Oronzo, in a triumphal arch. Sant'Oronzo's Square and Basilica of Santa Croce Located in the heart of Lecce, Sant'Oronzo's Square is the site of the most important local Roman remains; a 20,000-seat amphitheater dating from the 2nd century A.D., and a column that originally stood in Brindisi to mark the end of the Appian Way. A stroll through the little alleys of Sant'Oronzo's Square leads you to Lecce's most famous landmark, the magnificent Basilica of Santa Croce. During a visit here, marvel at the variety of statues and ornaments that will capture your eyes and curiosity inviting you to discover the smallest of details. Your tour concludes with some free time to explore at leisure the narrow and beautiful streets of Lecce's town centre before rejoining the coach and commencing the approximately one-hour drive back to the pier. Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing.

More than architects, it was the local stone masons who left their mark on this city. Lecce Cathedral and Palaces Your visit to Lecce begins at Porta Napoli, one of the oldest gateways to the town. A guided walking tour takes you through narrow streets filled with exquisite palaces en route to Piazza Duomo where the magnificent Cathedral as well as the Archbishop's Palace is located. The Cathedral was built between 1659 and 1670 by Giuseppe Zimbalo on a pre-existing Romanesque church. The main façade, facing both Archbishop's and Seminary's Palaces, is not so decorated, while the side façade facing the square is an explosion of Baroque architecture with Lecce's patron saint, Saint Oronzo, in a triumphal arch. Sant'Oronzo's Square and Basilica of Santa Croce Located in the heart of Lecce, Sant'Oronzo's Square is the site of the most important local Roman remains; a 20,000-seat amphitheater dating from the 2nd century A.D., and a column that originally stood in Brindisi to mark the end of the Appian Way. A stroll through the little alleys of Sant'Oronzo's Square leads you to Lecce's most famous landmark, the magnificent Basilica of Santa Croce. During a visit here, marvel at the variety of statues and ornaments that will capture your eyes and curiosity inviting you to discover the smallest of details. Your tour concludes with some free time to explore at leisure the narrow and beautiful streets of Lecce's town centre before rejoining the coach and commencing the approximately one-hour drive back to the pier.

A Day in the Countrysite: Mountain Village and Farm Lunch
SAR-IThis journey begins with an hour-and-a-half drive to Dhoksat, an enchanting mountain village of just 130 residents. With a local member of the community as your guide, here you will discover the soul of Albania, where ancient traditions still pulse through daily life. Your immersion begins along shepherd paths carved through dry creek beds, where you might encounter local herders tending their flocks of sheep and goats – a living testament to centuries-old pastoral traditions. Dhoksat As you weave through the village's tiny alleys, stone walls, and wooden gates topped with characteristic red-tiled roofs, your guide shares stories of Dhoksat's resilience through Albania's communist era. The day’s highlight awaits at your host family's farm, where you'll become part of their daily rhythm. Depending on the season, you might find yourself harvesting grapes, tending to buzzing beehives, churning fresh butter, or learning the art of raki distillation – each activity offering a genuine glimpse into rural Albanian life. Farm Lunch Your connection with the community deepens over a feast of traditional Albanian flavors, as distinct dishes grace the family table. From various types of local byrek (a flaky pastry, either sweet or savory, unique to Albania) to regional cheeses, fresh salads, and seasonal vegetables, each bite tells a story of Albanian culinary heritage. Gjirokaster The afternoon sun guides you on a half-hour drive to Gjirokaster, the “City of Stone,” where UNESCO-listed Ottoman mansions cascade down the hillside. A visit to the 17th-century Pazar i Vjetër (Old Bazaar) takes you through centuries-old cobblestone streets lined with artisans and merchants trading their handicrafts. The city's stone-roofed houses and vibrant marketplace offer a fitting finale to your journey through Albania's living history.

Sink your toes into powder-soft sand, float in waters so clear you can count the pebbles below, or claim your spot on the beach to soak in the spectacular views of Ksamil's signature islets dotting the horizon. Local beers and soft drinks are available to quench your thirst as you relax seaside or wade into the warm, turquoise waters. As the early afternoon approaches, you'll return to Sarande refreshed with the elixir of Albanian beach life.

Blue-Eye Spring
SAR-BLekuresi Castle Depart the pier for the approximately 15-minute transfer to Lekuresi Castle. With its strategic location overlooking the harbour of Sarande and protecting the road to Butrint, this castle was of great importance to Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. While much of it has been damaged by weather and war, it has been revived for tourists to enjoy its unmatched views overlooking the harbour - which, if conditions permit, may provide views of your Silversea ship. Folk Performance Inside Lekuresi Castle, a restaurant has been retro-fitted into the original structure. Here, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy refreshments and a local Albanian folk performance. At the conclusion of the performance, guests will re-board the coaches for the scenic, approximately 30-minute drive through the Albanian countryside en-route to the Mesopotami Church. Mesopotami Church Dating back to the 13th century CE and rebuilt in the 17th, this church has long been renowned for its bas-relief depictions of mythical creatures. A quick stop is made here as guides lead the group around the exterior of the monastery, taking in all the sculptures and the theories behind them. Blue Eye Spring Re-board the coaches for a drive through mountainous landscapes to the Blue Eye Spring. After 10 minutes of train ride, the spring appears as a shallow stream tucked into the lush Albanian forest. Upon closer inspection, guests will see that the river is fed by a subterranean spring that bubbles up perfectly-clear water from over 50 metres (164 feet) below. This pure, untouched water creates the illusion of being shallow due to its unique clarity and high visibility. It is said that these waters were so cherished that during Communist times, only ruling party members were able to bathe in the spring. After approximately 30 minutes at the spring, re-board the coaches for the approximately 45-minute drive back to the pier. Full participation may include a limited number of steps, uneven surfaces, and/or periods of standing.

S.A.L.T. Program - Wine Treasures of Šibenik & Skradin
ZAD-TDiscover the winemaking traditions and exquisite flavours of Croatia during this immersive, S.A.L.T. Program excursion with lunch and wine tastings at a pair of family-owned and operated wineries. Dalmatia, Baraka Winery, Cellars, Barrels, Wine-Tasting Your S.A.L.T. Program experience begins with a scenic, approximately 75-minute drive to Baraka, a family-owned boutique winery located in the heart of Dalmatia near Šibenik. At the heart of their success is small batch winemaking, a hands-on approach, and maintaining the consistently high quality for which Baraka wines are renowned. The Baraka family is completely focused on making terroir-driven, fine wines and creating great tasting experiences. Following a warm welcome by the Baraka family, share their winemaking passion during a guided walking tour. Explore the picturesque vineyard and production process, then proceed to the cellars for a unique premium wine tasting, part of which is directly from the barrels. Skradin Hinterland, Plastovo Village, Sladic Winery, Vineyards, Krka River, Adriatic Sea Next, re-board your coach and head towards the Skradin hinterland en route to Plastovo Village and a visit to Sladic, a family-owned winery. Today, Ante Sladic proudly continues his family’s longstanding winemaking tradition. He utilises indigenous varieties to produce exceptional quality wines whilst respecting the environment, and preserving his family’s traditional winemaking methods and cultural heritage. The vineyards are planted just outside Plastovo on the hills above Skradin, and close to the Krka River and National Park. This area’s unique micro-climate is influenced by the Krka River and Adriatic Sea. Its location approximately 820 feet (about 250 metres) above sea level invites cool nights and warm, sunny days. About Sladic Wines Sladic wines are divided into three lines due to diverse soil types, locations, and viticultural practices. The family is fortunate to have such a variety of microclimate and soil types in a very small area, which allows them to create a wide range of wine styles and types. The first line comes from the vineyard planted in rich, fertile soil on the northern slope of the hill above Skradin and bordering the Krka River, giving elegance and freshness to the wines. The second line is made from grapes grown in older vineyards on skeletal soil atop the hill above Plastovo, where cool nights prevail. The terroir, low yields, selective picking, painstaking vineyard work, and meticulous attention to detail in the cellar make these wines extraordinary. Traditional Croatian Specialities & Sladic Wine Pairings The third line of Sladic wines embodies the extremely rocky and low-yielding terroir of the southern slope of the hill above Skradin. The typical Mediterranean climate yields heavily concentrated, full-bodied wines with an enormous aging potential. Upon arrival at the Sladic Winery, you are warmly welcome and escorted to a unique wine and food experience. Multiple courses of traditional Croatian specialities are prepared with local ingredients, and expertly paired with the wines in a tantalising blend of flavours and aromas. After lunch, your S.A.L.T. Program excursion concludes with an approximately 1.5-hour drive back to the pier. Full participation requires being in good physical condition and may involve inclines, steps, uneven surfaces, and/or extended periods of standing. S.A.L.T.
