Day 4

valletta, malta

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 18:00

The tiny capital of Malta, the city measures less than 1 sq km, has a lot to offer visitors. Valletta has been described as one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world, thanks to its 7,000 years of history. No wonder, the City of Valletta was officially recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980. Built by the knight of St John in the 16th and 17th centuries for its military and strategic reasons, Valletta was later embellished into a fine example of baroque decorative art – most notably in the magnificent interiors of St John’s Co-Cathedral in the heart of the city. Shady atmospheric alleyways link grand squares, and glorious palazzi sit alongside bars and shop. Lately, the city has undergone some major changes to create a more vibrant urbanity, with the renovation of the main City Gate and the design of a new parliament building, as well as the renovation of the bombed-out Opera House. Valletta's natural deep water port, the Grand Harbour, is the biggest and the most impressive harbour in all the Mediterranean and was, for many thousands of years, the epicentre of Malta’s maritime activity. Proof of this are the 19 historical warehouses still stand dating back 250 years and the historic Quay Wall, where the Knights of St John and European merchants used to unload their wares. The Valletta Waterfront is also the gateway to Malta’s capital city. In fact, as one of the most successful Mediterranean ports, the Port of Valletta welcomes more than half-a-million cruise passengers into this open air museum. Recently, the waterfront has been revitalised into an attractive and vibrant gateway of shops, bars and restaurants. It’s particularly romantic at night when illuminated. There are tons of outdoor pursuits to enjoy thanks to the city’s moderate climate. From diving to sailing, cycling to rock climbing, there are a number of different adrenalin-busting options to satisfy adventurous holidaymakers. Just don't expect Valletta to be buzzing all night, its tranquility is a large part of its charm.

Day 6

dubrovnik, croatia

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 18:00

George Bernard Shaw called Dubrovnik “the pearl of the Adriatic, a paradise on earth”, and, indeed, it may be one of the most beautiful cities you’ll ever see. Largely built and long inhabited by Venetians, Dubrovnik possesses a stately charm and striking architectural unity that draw thousands of visitors every summer. Founded in 7th century, Dubrovnik stood amid a great forest of oak trees, from which it took its name. Take a walk atop the old city walls for vistas of the old town and the surrounding coast. Just before exiting the old town through the western gate, turn right to visit the Franciscan Monastery and peaceful cloisters. Just inside the entrance is the oldest European pharmacy, founded in 1371. In the northern corner of the old city is the Dominican Cloister and Museum, with a polyptych by Titian. The impressive Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary stands in the centre of Poljana Marin Držić and its treasury can be visited; look for the work by Raphael. Dubrovnik has warm, crystalline waters; don’t just admire it from a distance and take a dive. The intrepid can dive and sunbathe along the rocks or swim around the walls of the city while others gawk above. Dubrovnik’s impressive battlements gleam in the early morning light, but by early afternoon, the sea’s clear blue waters beckon you away from the city and its tourist din. If you can stand the crunch, you, too, may find a piece of heaven.

Day 7

split croatia

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 16:00

Split, Croatia’s vibrant coastal hub, blends ancient history with a lively Mediterranean atmosphere. At its heart lies Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels more like a living city than a museum. Wander its maze of marble streets, stumble upon hidden courtyards, and admire the mix of Roman, Gothic, and Renaissance architecture. Don’t miss the Cathedral of Saint Domnius and the climb up its bell tower for sweeping views over the terracotta rooftops and sparkling Adriatic Sea. The city’s seaside promenade, the Riva, is where locals and visitors converge from morning coffee to late-night cocktails. Lined with palm trees, cafes, and restaurants, it’s the perfect place to people-watch and soak up the Dalmatian lifestyle. Just behind, the bustling Green Market and fish market offer a glimpse of everyday life in Split, with stalls piled high with fresh produce, local cheeses, and seafood straight from the Adriatic. For swimming and relaxation, head to Bačvice Beach, famous for its shallow waters and the local ball game “picigin,” or explore quieter pebbled beaches like Kašjuni and Firule. Nature lovers should hike or bike through Marjan Hill, a forested park offering panoramic viewpoints, small chapels, and secluded coves ideal for a peaceful dip. The shaded trails and sea breezes make it a refreshing escape from the city center. Split also serves as an excellent base for exploring the Dalmatian coast and islands. Everyday ferries and catamarans link the city to Hvar, Brač, Šolta, and Vis, each with its own character—from chic nightlife and vineyards to quiet fishing villages and hidden bays. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, foodie, beach lover, or island-hopper, Split offers a compelling mix of culture, relaxation, and adventure.
