HVAR Island

HVAR Island is said to be one of the 10 most beautiful islands in the world. It has many attributes: solar, lavender, green, etc. Even without attributes, HVAR Islandis truly magical.

There is a ferry to the island of Hvarfrom Split and Drvenik (Makarska Riviera). We recommend the one from Drvenik, it is shorter and about 3 times cheaper. We have been offering accommodation in romantic bays near the village of Gdinj for several seasons. There are no hotels, campsites, restaurants, cafes and there is not even electricity in some places. In one small shop you can buy basic groceries, wine, beer and even a special knife for mowing lavender.

The island of Hvaris said to be the most beautiful island in Dalmatia. Traveler magazine ranked the island of Hvaramong the 10 most beautiful islands in the world: Anguilla (Caribbean), Bali (Indonesia), Borabora (French Polynesia), Capri (Italy), Hvar (Croatia), Kavai (Hawaii), Mykonos (Greece), Ponza (Italy) ), Upolu (Western Samoa), Zanzibar (Tanzania) - Traveler Magazine, May 1997). The island of Hvarhas an area of 299 km ², the highest mountain is Sveti Nikola with an altitude of 625 m above sea level.

The Croats call this island Sunčani Hvar. The length of sunshine here reaches almost 3,000 hours a year. This is not only a Croatian but also a European record. Hvar has an extremely favorable climate, suitable not only for growing demanding subtropical crops, but also for recreation.

The tourist season begins in May and ends in October. The most beautiful is the island in June, when lavender fields bloom. It is most pleasant here in September - the very warm sea and thanks to the shorter days the tolerable daytime temperatures attract tourists from all over the world to the island.

On the island you will find developed tourist areas with hotel complexes and many services, but also beautiful bays far from the tourist industry. Our travel agency offers you undiscovered bays without tourists, empty pebble beaches, clear sea and untouched nature.

We believe that when you return from a holiday on Hvar by ferry back to the Makarska Riviera and see the crowded beaches and the sea greasy sunscreen, you will be as surprised as we are - why people squeeze here when it is only 30 minutes by ferry to paradise .
