The Island of Hvar is an absolute Jewel in the crown of Croatia
The island of Hvar to Croatia is what Sicily is to Italy: an absolute jewel in the country's crown.
Of the 1,200 islands that dot the Adriatic Sea along Croatia's Dalmatian coast, Hvar is the longest, the sunniest and the most fashionable.
Sunny and trendy Hvar is a top spot for jet-setters with its high-end eateries serving fine traditional cuisine, opulent hotels and hopping nightlife while offering jaw-dropping scenery from beautiful beaches edged by aquamarine waters to fragrant lavender fields
Dating back to the years of Venetian rule (1420-1797), its car-free Old town is made up of a spacious main square overlooked by a 16th-century cathedral, a pretty fishing harbor, and a hilltop fortress.
Hvar Town is popular with yachters and celebrities, as well as travelers who come here to enjoy its beaches and water sports.
It is served by ferry from Split
