The island of Hvar is considered one of the most picturesque places in Europe. In addition to untouched nature, diverse vegetation and ideal ecology, this island is also famous for the fact that it is all overgrown with lavender, the aroma of which permeates everything on the island. This makes an unforgettable impression, but you just need to be sure that you are not allergic to this plant.
Kolocep is known as the island with the highest population density. Despite this, there are no cars on the island. Absolutely not. Well, that is, not a single one. But the vegetation here is very diverse. Combined with the crystal clear air, you can’t help but like it.
The island of Mljet is famous for its caves and forests: this island is home to a national nature reserve. Here you can freely indulge in dreams and thoughts about future achievements, distracted only by eating another lobster: on this island they are prepared according to a unique recipe.
Each island is interesting with its own characteristics, but all inhabited islands are well-equipped and have a variety of hotels, mainly aimed at mid-price vacations.
Yeah, after all, Croatia became a real discovery for me after this cruise. I had never thought about visiting Croatia before. And here: lovely Rovinj, impressive Dubrovnik... But the Croatian miracle that amazed me the most was the island of Hvar. This is where I one hundred percent want to return!!!
The island of Hvar is considered the sunniest island of the Adriatic (they say that there are as many as 349 sunny days a year there!). It got its name from the Greek Paros (or Pharos), the Romans called it Pharia. This is where the current name “Hvar” comes from. The island is located off the Dalmatian coast in southern Croatia. Many historical and cultural attractions, a mild Mediterranean climate, beautiful untouched nature, lush vegetation, an abundance of sunny days, crystal clear seas, numerous picturesque and clean beaches, lavender, olives, aromas of wine and the hospitality of the local population have made Hvar a very, very attractive resort. Since ancient Greek times, Hvar has been known for the healing properties of fresh air, which in the spring is rich in the aroma of pine, and in the summer filled with a cocktail of wild mint, sage, oregano, lavender, wild oranges and lemons. By the way, I really wanted to see the lavender fields. But, alas, at the end of July the harvest had already been harvested, and all the lavender in all its diversity was presented only in numerous shops selling products made from lavender, which is a unique symbol of the island (from refrigerator magnets to lavender figs). There are a lot of these shops everywhere, they look just like lilac clouds, so you can see them from afar) But to catch the lavender blooming, it’s better to come here in May-June. At this time, soft purple lavender also blooms, and red, white and pink oleanders also bloom. In addition, at this time there are relatively few people here and prices are quite low. For the beauty of the local landscapes, the island has gained fame as one of the paradise corners of the Adriatic and the reputation of an exclusive resort, so beloved by Europeans, who call Hvar the “Croatian Madeira”. Although I would compare Hvar with another island, namely Ibiza. The first thing that immediately struck me upon arriving in Hvar was the youth! She's everywhere! I don’t remember meeting so many young people anywhere. The island is famous for its coastal parties, which make it a favorite hangout for young people across Europe. European “golden” youth come here to relax. Therefore, if you want to meet the rich heir of some empire, you definitely need to go to Hvar! There are a lot of majors here! I remember even our cruise director Lydia joked: “If you see a guy with a helicopter, tell him that I’m waiting for him)))” And indeed, over the past few years, Hvar has become very popular among celebrities: Roman Abramovich, Bernie Ecclestone (President of Formula 1) , Gwyneth Paltrow, Gerard Depardieu, Steven Spielberg, Kevin Spacey, Eva Longoria, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. .. According to the famous American travel magazine “Travel - Leisure”, the island of Hvar is included in the top ten most desirable island holiday destinations in the world and is proclaimed the “most glamorous” island of the Adriatic coast. Although, of course, not only biggies and millionaires live on Hvar, ordinary tourists also enjoy relaxing here and can find a lot of amenities for themselves.
So, back to the cruise...We had a fairly long stay on Hvar: from 10 am to 7 pm. There was plenty of time, so we were in no hurry to land on the island. After all, a sea platform was lowered on the ship, and the morning could be devoted to swimming in the crystal clear waters of Hvar. Having swum and refreshed ourselves, we boarded the tender and set off to explore the island. The tender takes passengers to the marina of the city of Hvar of the same name as the island, which is included in the UN list of historical Mediterranean cities.
Upon entering the city harbor, a stunningly beautiful view opens up in front of you: a massive hill covered with all kinds of vegetation, on top of which there is a huge castle-fortress with towers. This is a Spanish fortress, which was built in the 16th century, and which currently operates as a museum.
Coming ashore, the first thing you see is a bay, completely filled with ships and small boats of various calibers. The center of life is concentrated right there, on the embankment and the small Piazza, where the Cathedral of St. Stephen, built in the 6th century, and the city lodge, as well as the arsenal building, are also located. Also on the Piazza there are a number of palaces from the 15th and 16th centuries, the most famous being the Hectorovich Palace and the Paladini Palace, as well as the town hall with a tower decorated with a clock.
The ship offered several excursions around Hvar: a bus tour of the island (58 euros), a jeep safari (74 euros) and sailing along the many islands (57 euros). As for swimming, we already had it in abundance. I definitely didn’t want to ride the bus. Therefore, we decided to choose a jeep safari around the island. It actually turned out to be a very interesting excursion. At the exit from the port, jeeps were already waiting for us. We visited many picturesque places, along a road framed by vineyards we drove to the villages of Milna, Malye Grabli, Velo (Great) Grabli. We admired the views of the fields while the guide talked about life in old and modern times, about the production of olive oil. By the way, the locals claim that their olive oil is the best and highest quality in the world, because... it is done by hand. Each family has several olive trees from which they harvest and then make oil. We saw a typical rural Hvar with vineyards, farms, small villages, and beautiful Dalmatian pine trees. Very often the eye falls on quite interesting structures: stones piled up in slides or built into walls, taken from the ground - apparently, they serve as fences between the vineyards.
The next stop is the Vidkovac observation deck, from where you can see the oldest city in Croatia - Stari Grad (Old Town), founded in 385 BC. Next we drove up to Dubovitsa Bay in the southern part of the island. Hvar. Here we turned off the road and climbed to the highest point of the island - St. Nikola (626 m), from where we had a view of the village of St. Nediza, famous for its Plavac wine. The view from the peak is worth the climb, as on a clear day you can see the neighboring islands of Korcula, Syuzak, Vis (where there used to be a military base), Brač, Solta, Pakinske and Shchedron, the Paklinski Islands, as well as the Peljesak Peninsula. There, at the top of the peak, there is a huge white cross, and to the right a small church is the Church of Sveti Nikola (St. Nicholas), small and very old. There is a cool, fresh wind at the top, and there is such beauty all around - it will take your breath away, wherever you look, in any of all four directions of the world! The island is only 10 km wide, so from the mountain range you can see both coasts - northern and southern.
Unfortunately, there was not enough time to look at the beaches of the island. And there are many beaches there. Some of the most picturesque beaches are those of the Pakleni Islands, which can be easily reached by boat or water taxis (travel time from the port of Hvar to the farthest island is 20 minutes). Interestingly, the name of the Pakleni Otoci islands is often incorrectly translated in guidebooks as “Hell Islands” (from the word “inferno”), but the name actually comes from the Croatian word “paklo” or “paklina”, which means pine resin. Boiling resin was previously used to treat the wooden hulls of ships and boats. The Pakleni Islands are a combination of 21 small islands in the archipelago, with numerous swimming spots and many small, secluded beaches. The entire Pakleni coastline is covered in picturesque bays and long peninsulas. Some of these bays have magnificent sandy beaches, some of the best in Croatia.
The beaches of Hvar itself are mostly small-pebble and rocky, and are also comfortably located in the island’s many bays. Although there are sandy beaches in the north of the island. Here are some of the famous beaches:
- small pebble beach Dubovica - in Dubovica Bay, one of the most beautiful beaches of Hvar, surrounded by trees that create natural shade;
-Ukritsa (50 m from the port, pebbles);
- Vela or Amphora beach is located a few minutes walk from the Amphora hotel in the town of Hvar - this is the largest and most popular beach in the city (free), which has numerous awards for the cleanliness of the beach, sea and water area and is included in the TOP 10 most attractive beaches in Europe . Every year, Vela Beach also receives the Blue Flag for the cleanliness of the coast;
-sandy beach Sveta Nedelya (Svjeta Nedjela);
-small pebble beach of the island of Pokonji Dol, near the town of Hvar;
-nudist camping beach near the town of Vrborska;
-the famous European youth beach Hula Hula (pebble and rocky) is a favorite vacation spot for young people and lovers of active recreational activities, as well as enthusiastic windsurfers. This is where the famous parties of the island of Hvar are held;
-Luxury beach Les Bains - it is known in the world as a beach with the best range of services for its clients: its guests are offered sunbeds and beds, classic and traditional Thai massage in separate tents right on the seashore, a Steak & Seafood restaurant and bar, showers, chairs , umbrellas and pontoons, which can be privatized.
Unfortunately, our acquaintance with Hvar turned out to be very short-lived...And how interesting it would be to look at the nightlife of the island, and just live there for at least a week...I am sure that many more interesting places would have been discovered, and many discoveries would have been made!!! Hvar, I will look forward to meeting you again!!!
Off the coast of mainland Croatia there are more than a thousand islands, islets and reefs, of which 66 are inhabited. The islands offer their guests all sorts of entertainment, from nudist beaches to windsurfing, relaxed gastronomic tourism and noisy beach parties.
You can stay in a boutique hotel or go back in time, settling in a house without electricity and other amenities that accompany the life of a modern person. The choice is yours!

Vis
Until 1989, the island was closed to tourists and was home to a Yugoslav naval base. Today, instead of menacing submarines, snow-white yachts are marred, and instead of people in uniform, hippies prefer to come to Vis. Local konobas, small cozy restaurants, serve delicious dishes made from freshly caught fish. IN Mola Trovna, the owner of the tavern, Senko Karuza, personally arranges a boat fishing trip for his guests, and then teaches them how to clean and prepare the catch. During lunch, don't forget about the wonderful organic wines of Vis - white Vugava and red Mali Plavac - and rogacica, which is made from the carob tree, which grows in abundance on the island.

Hvar
Around the fortress, built by the Venetians in the 16th century, over several centuries a charming town emerged, which today has become a vacation spot for European celebrities, Hvar. Fashionable hotels, bars and restaurants make Hvar more and more similar to the French Riviera. When you've had your fill of cocktails and are tired of the meticulous glances of autograph hunters who have once again recognized you as a vacation star, go on a trip around the island on foot or by mountain bike. You will see endless silver-violet fields of lavender and slopes of vineyards, you can take a boat trip around the islands Pakleni, surrounding Hvar.

Kornati
The Kornati Archipelago is a national park along the coast of Northern Dalmatia made up of 89 islands, islets and reefs. There are no sources of fresh water, and the islands are rocky and deserted. In the past, livestock grazed on the sparse vegetation of Kornati and for their own convenience, shepherds and fishermen from Murter built stone houses on the islands in which they lived while walking goats and cows. With the development of eco-tourism, some of these houses are now available for living.
Brac
Zlatni Rat(Golden Horn) on the southern coast of Brac ranks first in terms of the number of photographs of it and the best conditions for windsurfing. Nearby fishing village Bol, may be inferior to the multilingual restaurant menus of Brač with its miniature train, but remains a paradise for windsurfers. Zlatni Rat is also very popular among divers, lovers of water skiing, parasailing and wakeboarding. Those who are just starting to learn water sports or are simply tired of active recreation are offered catamaran trips.

Mljet
For centuries, Mljet (Southern Dolmatia) has remained a place isolated from the outside world, where magnificent pine forests frame emerald lakes. In 1151, Benedictine monks settled on the island and built a monastery on St. Mary's Island(an island within an island, as the Croatians themselves call it) surrounded by waters Big Lake. After 200 years, the monks left the island, leaving their mark both on the history of Mljet and on its ecological system. The canal dug by the monks to connect the lake to the sea led to the salinization of the natural source of fresh water.
In 1910, new inhabitants appeared on the island - Indian mongooses, who were introduced specifically to kill snakes. The animals coped with the task perfectly, but there were some losses: having dealt with the snakes, the mongooses destroyed a huge number of eggs of birds that lived on the island. It took 100 years to restore the ecological balance of Mljet. Mongooses today are one of the attractions of the Croatian national reserve, located on the island in its western part. The east coast with its beautiful beach is intended for tourists to relax Saplunara.
Slave
Officially, nudism on Croatian beaches was allowed in the summer of 1936, when Rab visited the English King Edward VIII with Lady Wallis Simpson and they relaxed naked on the beach Kandarola. On the western side of the island there are rocky beaches, on the eastern side there are pebbles, and sandy beaches in the north, in Lopare.
If you are embarrassed by naked bodies, then you should plunge into the ancient charm of the town of Rab, whose streets are lined with medieval stone houses. Romanesque churches and bell towers of the island-wall complement the ancient landscapes of the ancient city.
There is a nice hotel in Palita ,
from which the easiest way to get to the beaches of Kandarola Bay is by taxi boat.
Murter
Murter almost touches the mainland in the area of the resort town Vodice, with which it is connected by a 12-meter bridge. The proximity to the islets and reefs of the Kornati National Park has made the island a favorite base for yachtsmen. Every summer in Maritime Academy of the Adriatic (ANA) there is a sailing school located in Jezere. Courses run every seven days and include practical sailing lessons at sea and one day of theory lessons (in English).
