Art Venice by yacht

We meet in Pula - the cultural center of the Istrian peninsula. Majestic ancient Roman buildings as well as traditions of winemaking, shipbuilding and fishing have been preserved in the city overlooking the Adriatic sea. We check in the yacht, buy groceries for a week and have a team briefing. Then we have a welcome party with sparkling wine and local snacks.

Let the adventures begin! Firstly we'll go to Brijuni National Park, which consists of several islands. Nature of the islands is extremely rich: oaks, pine trees, olive trees and rosemary grow there. Brijuni evergreen oak forests are considered to be one of the most beautiful in Croatia. On the way to the archipelago we'll train to set sails and keep the course. Everyone will be able to keep the wheel and sail the yacht. At the spot we'll swim, have a picnic on one of the islands, and then spend the night in the wild bay. The name of the Italian company Brijuni comes from these islands.

On the third day we'll go to the most photogenic city of Croatia - Rovinj. Its colorful houses with red tile roofs will attract our attention from afar. We'll walk along narrow streets and explore the historical part of Rovinj with the main attraction - the Church of St. Euphemia, which rises above the whole city on a hill. At night we'll move towards Venice. Those who wish, can learn the navigation by stars and experience the night crossing.

Overnight we'll cross the sea border with Italy and wake up in the heart of Venice! Today we'll go on the first part of the Biennale tour with our guide. One of the pavilions, which received the Golden Lion award, will be Lithuanian. The installation involves 20 professional singers. They are slowly looking through books and social networks and they enjoy the beach. The audience watches them from above, from the sun view point. In the evening we'll visit some local bars and restaurants and set up a Retro Carnival with beautiful masks.

We'll continue exploring Venice and get acquainted with contemporary art at the Biennale. On the second day we'll visit Belgian pavilion with the project "Mondo Cane" ("Dog World"). The pavilion is divided in two parts: there are figures depicting artisans in the center, there is a parallel reality with "madmen, marginal people and poets" along the edges behind bars. These worlds don't connect to each other. We'll have lunch at a local restaurant, visit the famous San Marco Piazza, take a ride on traditional gondolas or walk along the Rialto Bridge, which connects two parts of the city. At night we'll go to the Croatian Novigrad. Those who wish can strengthen their experience in navigation and night crossing.

By morning we'll arrive in Novigrad, where we spend the whole day walking along the narrow streets and studying local architecture. Those who wish can spend some time on the local picturesque beaches and watch the sunset surrounded by friends at the ancient city.

In the morning we move towards Brijuni National Park, where we'll enjoy uninhabited islands and wildlife. On the way we'll strengthen our sailing skills. We'll swim, sunbathe, sip Prosecco on the deck and return slowly to Pula. In the evening we'll have a farewell party, where we'll discuss the brightest moments of our adventure and dream about the next ones! In the morning of the 8th day we'll wake up, have breakfast and leave the yachts till 9:00.
