Situated in the Adriatic Sea just off the coast of Croatia, the sun-drenched island of Hvar is a popular summer destination known for its spectacular landscape of lush rolling hills, hidden coves, and secluded beaches. The island’s hillsides are swathed in olive groves, lavender fields, and cultivated vineyards which produce excellent wines. The main town, also called Hvar, is a glitzy playground boasting vibrant nightlife, swanky bars, and elegant restaurants. For visitors looking for some serenity, the rest of the island is dotted with quaint fishing villages featuring magnificent medieval architecture. Numerous adventure activities are also on offer, including kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, caving, and boating.
