Pula Yacht Itinerary
After arriving on Saturday evening, spending your first night on board and getting familiar with the yacht, depart the marina and head south towards the town of Lošinj, the island of Vitality. Break up the journey by stopping for a lunch time swim on Unije
- Drop anchor and swim on one of the sheltered bays on the south side of the islands of Unije - Spend the evening exploring the town of Mali Lošinj or Veli Lošinj
Sail further south to Silba where you can anchor on the south west side of the island. From here take a leisurely stroll into town through beautiful forrest trails.
- Climb the 'Tower of love' in the main town, built to commemorate the love between a captain and his wife. - Relax on the south beach.
A short sail to Dugi Otok, the 'long island'. Here, you can go into the marina at Veli Rat and stock up in the small shop or continue into the bay of Sakuran and anchor.
- Swim at Sakarun beach - Sail a bit further down the island to view the impressive steep cliffs
Time to turn around and start back north towards Permuda, a beautiful small island with a little marina at its entrance and about 50 locals.
- Check out the chapel of San Ciriaco - Have dinner at a local restaurant - If you're an experienced diver, organise a trip to explore the cave system of Katedrala
Continuing on your way north, you cruise to Susak, and drop anchor in a stunning sandy bay for an early lunch. Differing from the other islands in the area, the main vegetation is Oregano, some people say that you can even smell it from miles out to sea! We actually know very little about the history of the island, due to how far away it is from the mainland. There were no formal schools here until 1955, and none of the locals could read or write.
Walk out to the lighthouse on the hill and get 360 views of the island and its surroundings.
After stopping for a break on Susak, you have longer sail towards Brijuni, a beautiful national park made up of 14 islands. These historic islands are home to plenty of villas and roman ruins.
- Cycle or hike along the islands trails - See the ruins of roman buildings, St Peters Church and the Basilica of St Mary
Spend your last day relaxing around the Brijuni islands and take a leisurely evening sail back to the base for final check out. Explore the rich Roman history of Pula.
- Visit the Roman Ampitheatre, the Arc Of The Sergii and Temple of Augustus. - Take in some final night drinks at the local bars.
Sadly, the trip has come to an end, enjoy your last breakfast onboard the yacht and make sure you've not forgotten anything. Make the most of your last morning in Pula and explore the parts of the town you've missed previously.
