| After a morning swim, breakfast is served on the ship after which we sail to the Island of Rab, which is known as the “island of love”. The small town of Rab, where you will spend the night in the harbour, is encircled in medieval walls, Romanesque church towers, churches and palaces, stone streets and ancient facades. Enjoy the “gallery” on the streets and squares where many painters and artists exhibit their works. |

| After breakfast we sail from Rab along the island of Pag with a stop to swim on small island MAUN, and continue to sail to the Dugi Otok (“Long Island”). We either spend the night in SALI and visit Telašcica in the morning, or we spend the night in Telašcica. Telašcica is the largest natural harbour on the Adriatic. This is a nature park and one should take a short walk to the “Lake of Peace” – a natural phenomenon – a lake, which has salt water but no known connection with the Adriatic sea. Don’t forget to visit the magnificent “White cliffs”, also a walking distance from your ship – but please don’t slip and fall as they are extremely steep. |

| After breakfast and morning swim, we sail to Island Molat or island Olib (depending on available space in the small harbours of these two islands). The Molat island is situated in the northern part of Zadar's archipelago. The peace, silence and necessary minimum of infrastructures (4 restaurants, 3 shops) guarantees an holiday far away from usual tourism. Olib is a place where you can rest your body and soul. There are no cars or trucks, just a tractor or two, which are necessary for the habitants of Olib. The island has numerous beautiful beaches. When you come ashore you cannot but notice a beautiful sandy beach near the port. The village is small but wide. The island was inhabited already in the antiquity. The parish church is from 1632, and about twenty Glagolitic codices from the 16th - 19th century are kept in the parsonage. |

| After breakfast and morning swim, we sail to the peaceful island of flowers called Ilovik where we have a stop for swimming. Departure for the island of Mali Lošinj (lunch on route), which is one of the most popular islands on the northern Adriatic due to the abundance of pine trees and clear waters. Mali Lošinj is among those places with the sunniest days per year in Europe. Take a walk along the harbor and dare to take a night swim on the sandy Cikat beach or visit nearby, picturesque, town of Veli Lošinj (only 5 km away). Overnight in Mali Losinj. |

| After a morning swim we leave for the island of Cres. This long and narrow island is covered with oak, beaches and pine forests as well as vineyards and olive tree plantations. Cres and Mali Losinj used to be one island but a channel dug by the Romans separates them. We spend the night in the harbor of the typical medieval city of Cres. |
