In the evening, you may wish to take your free time to stroll into town to appreciate this charming island when most of the tourists have left for the evening.

Day 9
Rovinj
On the Istrian peninsula of Croatia’s northern Adriatic coast, tiny, red-tiled Rovinj is perched on a domed headland now attached to the mainland. The town’s narrow, cobbled streets spiral up to the Church of St. Euphemia, whose Venetian-style campanile crowns the community. The outer, sea-level rim is lined with high-quality restaurants, and the warren of alleys open into unexpectedly pleasant plazas with open-air cafes.
Day 10
Vis Island
Located some 30 miles off the Croatian coast, Vis is the most westerly inhabited island in the Adriatic and the largest in the Vis archipelago—a designated UNESCO Global Geopark and biodiverse haven for bottlenose dolphins, giant devil rays, and blue-fin tuna. Closed to foreigners until 1989, Vis remains sparsely populated, much of it covered in vineyards, pine groves, and citrus orchards.

Day at Sea

Lipari is the largest of the seven major islands making up the Aeolian Islands. Their natural beauty and easy lifestyle have made the islands increasingly popular for those who wish to escape the modern world and its stresses. The crystal-clear, aqua-blue waters and the volcanic beaches are some of the most inviting in Italy. An abundance of fish and shellfish makes for some very good restaurants specializing in seafood.
