Sailing around Italy - Croatia, Rovinj and Hvar

We arrived at the port of Rovinj around lunchtime. It was a pretty little fishing village with Venetian influenced buildings perched above the blue waters of the Adriatic.







We set sail at dinner for the island of Hvar.

In the morning we arrived in Hvar with its C13 walls and narrow winding streets. The Venetian influence was also evident.




 We visited a small museum with some Roman artefacts.



We visited a winery to sample the local wine and just enjoy the pretty garden.



We then stopped off to view the walls and the beautiful views.




Here the clipper is moored at Venice, off Rovinj, Hvar and Kotor in Montenegro.

During dinner we set sail and continued along the Dalmatian coast to arrive in Dubrovnik the next day.
