Next: Hvar 🏖️
Croatia has no shortage of islands, but majestic Hvar remains its most
popular. Not sure why? Well, just look at the place: Hvar has
everything any Dalmatian island could want. It’s packed with
historical attractions and modern amenities, and the short trip out
here from Split is plenty beautiful in itself. Brač, Krka, Prvić and
all the other Croatian islands deserve attention, but Hvar is in a
league of its own.
You’ve probably already heard of Hvar. If you’re a yacht-owner, you’ve
probably spent a few summers bobbing around on its sun-soaked shores.
But despite its reputation as the swankiest of Croatian destinations,
Hvar is much more than just a magnet for the reasonably famous and
unreasonably rich – err from the money-soaked town centre and into the
more modest coastal towns of Stari Grad and Jelsa, and you’ll find
history, heritage and culture. There’s plenty of room here, on one of
Croatia’s largest islands, for luxury-loving semi-celebrities and
family holiday-makers alike, and with 2724 hours of sun a year, there
are plenty of rays to share out, too.
