7 Days in Palmižana

Sailing through pine-covered islands, clear Adriatic waters, and Croatia’s most refined coastal anchorages.

7 Days in Palmižana

Hvar to Split

Palmižana sits in the Pakleni Islands just off Hvar and acts as one of the Adriatic’s most elegant yachting hubs. The area is perfect for slow island hopping. Distances stay short and the sea often stays calm, which makes each day feel relaxed.

This route explores the Pakleni Islands, the historic towns of Hvar and Vis, the dramatic coastline of Biševo, and the clear bays of Brač. Days move between swim stops, small harbors, and quiet anchorages. Evenings shift from lively waterfront promenades to calm coves under the stars.
