Island-Hopping from Hvar
Island-Hopping from Hvar
Arrival at Hvar Town harbor immediately introduces visitors to the influences of previous ownership: the Venetians, Austro- Hungarians and Balkans have all left their mark on this entry point. Make your way inland to the enchanting town of Stari Grad and seek out a peka for dinner. This traditional Croatian stew is made with lamb or octopus slow cooked with potatoes and vegetables under a bell-shaped lid covered in embers. Nightlife on Croatia’ s most famous island is showy thanks to the arrival of passengers on the lavish yachts that fill its port.
Spend a day on the water visiting quiet coves of the Pakleni islands and Instagramfamous beaches like Mlini and Robinson Bay. The Blue Cave, famous for its glowing sapphire waters, is a must-visit destination. Once that’ s done, cross the channel to the island of Vis and tie onto the dock at Komiža. Have lunch at one of the many waterfront restaurants and a take a quick walk through its charming Old Town before heading back to Hvar.
