1st day - 18nm
Rovinj - Veruda Bay
( uvala Soline, drop anchor)
|
| |
Rovinj : With its fortified double walls and three Town Gates
from the early Middle Ages, Rovinj presents an example of
urban architecture of the Mediterranean type. The church of
St. Euphemia, with the statue of the patron saint of Rovinj
standing on its 60m high bell tower, dominates the town. All
the Rovinj coast and the surrounding 22 islands and islets
are a protected natural heritage. Besides all the beauties
of its hidden corners, this green paradise provides everything
a modern tourist may wish for.

day
Susak - Ilovik
( village and ruins) |
| |
Ilovik is
the southernmost inhabited island of the Cres - Losinj archipelago.
The present day settlement originated about 200 years ago when
farmers from Veli Losinj came to settle permanently here. Ilovik
is said to be the island of flowers because almost every house
has oleanders, roses and other flowers growing around it. The
lovely beaches in the small coves on the island are a true oasis
of peace. |

3rd
day - 18nm
Mali Lošinj - Rab
( many objects of interest, beautiful old town) |
| |
The island
is one of the most densely wooded islands in the Adriatic and
is a veritable botanical exhibition, with plants not native
to the island. The Komrcar Park, with its laurel, poplar, cypress,
Indian fig tree, and rosemary, pine and hundred-year-old agaves
is now the pride of Rab. Its more than 300 freshwater springs
provide a valuable water supply to the population of the island--which,
in contrast to most of the Adriatic islands, is increasing,
in part because of good communications with the mainland. Because
of these numerous springs, Rab is considered to be the greenest
island in the Adriatic. |

2nd
day - 27nm
Veruda - Susak
( sandy island, small marina, worth seeing cemetery) |
| |
The island
of Susak is such a place, just now opening up to the European
travel imagination. Long lost in relative isolation from the
rest of the Croatian population, it has developed its own rich
culture, dialect and traditions. About 40 miles southeast of
the tip of the Istrian peninsula, Susak is a little larger than
the average Croat island, and is one of the relatively few to
have supported a native population for hundreds of years. It
has the only sand beach in all of the Croatian islands, and
its vineyards produce some of the best wine in the region. It
is sunny, lush and untouched. |

2nd
day
Ilovik - Mali Lošinj
( capital town of island Losinj, tourist place) |
| |
Mali Lošinj
is known by its sea tradition, its special climate that cured
the first visitor of the climatic medical centre in 1885. This
tourist tradition was started and supported by many honourable
men of this archipelago. The bridge which is placed at the entering
to Mali Lošinj, above the channel which was ditched through
the narrowest part of the island, makes two separated peace's
of land that are connected by the movable bridge. It makes possible
for smaller boats and yachts to enter the port. |

day - 23nm
Rab - Osor
( narrow straits between islands Lošinj & Cres ) |
| |
Osor is
the small town today but as such completely itself as "a city
museum". Its length and straitens as a rampart between the west
Adriatic land and the East makes this town the crossing of the
roads that go from the West to East part of the islands Cres
and Lošinj. A narrow band of few tenths of meter of land, which
used to link the two islands Cres and Lošinj, was favourable
to trading development and was also creating a safe port. During
antic period and Romans ruling Galleys would come and reload
their cargoes so that the ships on the other side could take
it farther. A channel was ditched through. It was the first
movable bridge, which today also serves modern seafarers by
making their route shorter. |

Pomer - Pula Marina
( beautiful old town, amphitheater)
|
| |
Pula : On
the southernmost part of the Istrian peninsula, Jason and Medea
founded the mythical town Polai, the source of life. Later the
Romans changed it into a divine town for the "pleasure of the
rich". The Amphitheatre, the Sergii Triumphal Arch, Augustus
Temple, The Double and Herculus Gates witness that glorious
time. Famous writers and composers (Dante, Thomas Mann, James
Joyce, Franz Lehar, and others) were inspired by this town that
has existed for three millennia, and where the old meets the
new. The area of Pula is magnificent, with country stone houses
and modern buildings, quiet huckleberry shade and the view to
the culture of mankind. Therefore Pula cannot be |
