The old town, situated on an island, is home to the smallest cathedral in the world, the Church of the Holy Cross, built around 800 AD. Our tour then leads us on to the island of Pag, famous for its excellent cheese and saltpans. Already in the Roman times, salt was extracted here. Over the centuries, the people who lived here built numerous stone walls to protect them from the wind throughout the rugged yet charming landscape. The ship picks us up in Lun and we sail to the island of Rab, whose four famous bell towers characterize this beautiful city. 6th Day Islands of Rab and Krk (approx. 16 mi./25 km, approx. 820 ft./250 m of elevation) The island of Rab is one of the sunniest places in Europe.

In the afternoon, we have time to relax after the efforts of the previous days and recharge your batteries for tomorrow’s final tour.

Our journey then continues through the interior of the island before we finally head back to the sea to Klimno, where the nearby Bay of Soline is the perfect spot for a healthy mud bath.
