The Traveller

HVAR "THE TRAVELLER"

"The Traveller" has given the island of Hvar not only the flattering but also well deserved title of being one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in the world.

EXPLORE

There are plenty of things to do in Hvar, a historical and picturesque island along Croatia's Dalmatian coastline. This destination thrives with travellers looking to explore its historic sights and soak up the lavish coastal lifestyle.

HVAR TOWN

One of the island’s most popular destination is Hvar Town, which has lively beaches, modern restaurants, luxury guesthouses, and a lively nightlife scene. Its labyrinth of age-old cobbled and marble streets adds a distinctly Croatian aesthetic.

YOUR ONLY CHOICE

Hvar is an excellent choice if you're looking for a vibrant island setting that's both glamorous and relaxing. You can also find an array of towns and communities around the island that are easily reachable by ferry.

If you're looking for a pleasant coffee spot, Kava 37 should be at the top of your list. This chic family-run café is known for its speciality coffee with the beans roasted on-site.

HVAR PORT

Some of the best views of Hvar can be experienced from Tvrdava Fortica (Hvar Fort), which sits high above Hvar Town. It occupies the site of a Byzantine citadel dating back to the 6th century. Follow the signs from the centre square as you summit the stairs, passing by a collection of charming shops. Soon, you'll come to a path that winds its way up through a forest of pine trees lined with native lavender bushes.

Cathedral of St. Stephen

Designed in Baroque style, the cathedral's highlights include its distinctive bell tower, ancient stone reliefs depicting a series of saints, and carved choir stalls dating back to the 15th century. The Cathedral of St. Stephen is in Hvar Town's main square – you can find bakeries and alfresco eateries close to the landmark.

VISION OF SELSA

Jelsa is a serene community on the northern coast of Hvar. While it’s much smaller than Hvar Town, it offers some outstanding sightseeing and dining opportunities. Surrounding the charming harbour is a collection of coffee shops and restaurants, as well as lush parks, town squares and swimming spots. Like Hvar Town, Jelsa has a myriad of alleyways sprawling off the main street. This is where you'll find many of the most authentic dining spots. Artichoke is an excellent choice for wine-lovers, while Eis Café’s homemade desserts and ice creams attract those looking for cooling treats in the Croatian summer.
