⚓ Day 1 – Saturday: Veruda → Unije or Susak

Your trip begins at the marina Veruda near Pula, an ideal starting point for a sailing vacation in Istria. After check-in and a short briefing, you sail south to the tranquil islands of Unije or Susak – depending on weather and wind. Both islands offer sheltered bays and authentic island flair.

⚓ Day 2 – Sunday: Unije or Susak → Mali Lošinj

Today, you continue to the island of Lošinj, specifically to the lively town of Mali Lošinj. The harbor is well-protected, the town charming, with restaurants, shopping opportunities, and a beautiful promenade walk. Perfect for restocking fresh supplies or simply enjoying Dalmatian life.

⚓ Day 3 – Monday: Mali Lošinj → Ilovik or Silba

On the third day, you have the choice between two more highlights of the Kvarner island world: Ilovik, also known as the flower island, is small, quiet, and idyllic. Silba, on the other hand, offers Mediterranean charm and is car-free – ideal for a relaxing afternoon on land.

⚓ Day 4 – Tuesday: Ilovik or Silba → Osor (Island Cres)

Today, your sailing trip takes you through the narrow channel at Osor, where you must pay attention to the bridge opening times – the drawbridge opens only at certain times. Osor is a historic place with Roman roots and a tranquil atmosphere.

⚓ Day 5 – Wednesday: Osor → Cres Town (Island Cres)

A short trip takes you further to Cres Town – the historic old town is worth a visit. The harbor is well-equipped, and the culinary selection in the small taverns leaves nothing to be desired.
