As Croatia’s sunniest and perhaps most upmarket location, the island of Hvar delivers an exquisite visitor experience. While Hvar Town is the place to find the restaurants, nightlife and activities, there are other towns around the island which are less developed and much quieter. The port of Stari Grad can take you by ferry to the mainland, where the magnificent city of Split awaits you.
As well as pretty towns like Jelsa and Stari Grad to explore, the island offers many fantastic beaches. Head in the direction of Milna to check out Pokonji Dol and the superb Mekićevica.Considered to be one of the world’s most beautiful islands, Hvar makes for a special kind of escape. Characterised by lavender fields, olive groves, secluded beaches and pretty harbours, Hvar is the jewel among a set of extremely beautiful Croatian islands.
If you’re looking for beach life, Hvar has plenty of it. There are numerous choices, among them the bay of Milna, around 4km from Hvar Town. The lovely Mekićevica is even closer, but you can still take a boat ride to get there in style. Alternatively, wander along the coast, stopping by Pokonji Dol beach along the way.
Hvar Town isn’t particularly big but its reputation as the place to be ensures it gets lots of visitors. Many come for the nightlife (the clubs are top notch) but there are historic sights to see too, with St Stephen’s Cathedral and the main square of the same name well worth a look.
The huge Fortica is unmissable – literally – as it looms high above the town. You can make the trek up there to see a small museum, enjoy the café or check out the amazing view. Hvar is also a big adventure town, offering activities from windsurfing to climbing and Jeep safaris, and is great for festivals too – come in summer for music on the streets.
While the beaches around Hvar Town can get busy, along with the town in general, much of the island is fairly quiet. If you fancy a change of scene, Stari Grad is the island’s oldest town, featuring characterful narrow streets and pretty squares. Take a look around the harbour (Stari Grad is the island’s main port and where the ferries from Split arrive) and Lanterna beach.
The furthest point east on the island, Sucuraj, is also a well-preserved old town which serves as a departure point for the mainland – from here you can cross to Drvenik, around 30 minutes’ drive down the coast from Makarska and the Biokovo Mountains. If you prefer to stay on the western side of Hvar, closer to Hvar Town, you could stop by pretty Jelsa or the charming Bay Lučišća, not far from Sveta Nedjelja. A little more remote, this is a wonderful secret beach to uncover.
