5. Hvar Town, island of Hvar
Considered one of Croatia's more upmarket islands, you'll often read about various celebrities and the well-to-do holidaying on Hvar each year, but don't let that put you off! (Although, this may well be a draw to some holidaymakers!)
Hvar is very well-known for its wonderful weather, with the highest annual average hours of sun in the whole of Croatia. The island is also famous for its lavender growing in amongst its beautiful landscape, so you can imagine a pretty heady combination of great weather and beautiful and aromatic surroundings as you relax on the island.
There's a number of stylish hotels located in Hvar Town, and a handful of sights (though not too many - avid sightseers should really go elsewhere), whilst its wonderful harbour is a very pleasant place to while away your time in early evening, people- and yacht-watching.
There's a few beaches close to Hvar Town, though our recommendation is to head to nearby small group of islands, the Pakleni islands, (local boats will take you there) for a relaxing day out. |
