Why is yacht charting in Croatia so special

The most popular routes include stopping (and stepping) on some of the biggest and most famous islands, like Krk, Hvar, Brač, Korčula, and towns on the mainland, like Split and Dubrovnik. Guests can taste the local wines and olive oil, hike to Hvar's hilltop castle, and stroll through cobbled alleys. White rocky beaches and the clear turquoise water are a must-stop, as they are like anywhere else.
