The photo that captured the world and became an iconic symbol of Croatian tourism is undoubtedly of Zlatni Rat — the Golden Horn Beach. This stunning pebble beach, formed by the deposition of golden stones around an underwater reef, stretches about 500 meters into the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea. The shape of the beach constantly changes, influenced by sea currents, waves, and winds, making every visit unique.
Here, you can swim in the refreshing waters, bask in the sun, and experience one of the most photogenic beaches in the world. After enjoying this natural gem, we set sail towards the vibrant island of Hvar.

What makes Hvar so special? First and foremost, its stunning location along the Adriatic. Hvar is a destination that will delight even the most discerning travelers. The town is rich in cultural and historical sights, including Hvar Cathedral, the Museum of Croatian Heritage, the Hvar Theater, the City Lodge, and the city walls that stretch across the northern part of town, connecting to Fortica Fortress. The panoramic view from Fortica is truly unforgettable — this is the exact image that has traveled the world and captured hearts everywhere.
Hvar is a favorite not only among international visitors but also Croatians, who cannot resist its charm. After exploring the town and climbing Fortica, you’ll have time to enjoy a leisurely lunch on one of the popular terraces, savoring local delicacies while soaking in the island atmosphere. Following this, we continue to the final stop of the day: the beautiful Pakleni Islands.
