Island of Hvar

Hvar Island is one of the sunniest islands in Europe, with over 2700 hours of sunshine a year, and has rightly earned its reputation as the most glamorous destination on the Croatian coast. The town of Hvar, sharing the island's name, charms visitors with its Renaissance Cathedral of St. Stephen, the spacious main square Pjaca, and the Fortica (Španjola) fortress, which rises above the town offering a magnificent view of the sea. Right in front of the harbour lies the archipelago of the Pakleni Islands, a favourite destination for excursion boats and yachts with crystal-clear coves perfect for swimming. Inland, the island is fragrant with lavender fields and vineyards, while the small town of Stari Grad holds UNESCO status thanks to the ancient Stari Grad Plain, laid out by the ancient Greeks. Hvar is a unique blend of lively nightlife and peaceful natural beauty, attracting couples, young travellers and lovers of luxury alike. The island is easily reached by ferry from Split or Drvenik. We offer a wide range of apartments and private accommodation directly from the owners, with no commission. Weather in Hvar
