Pakleni Islands - Hvar

Pakleni Islands

Pakleni Otoci (Pakleni Islands)

In the whole Island, all the tourist agencies , the hotels and some privates too organize excursions to Pakleni Islands, the small archipelago just in front Hvar town.
They describe these islands as a lost paradise, but they are nothing special. They are just made of rocks and marittime pines, without beaches and the bays are crowded of boats and people.The beaches are better in Hvar islands (especially on the southern coast).However the sea is very clear and clean, but it is unconfortable to lay on the rocks when you come out from the water!!

Unique Suggestions: If you have no problems with the rocks, you will enjoy the beautiful green water and the possibility to do some plunges!
Also the sunsets are very evocative and romantic.

Fun Alternatives: If you want to do a day trip in alternative to Pakleni Otoci, I suggest go in one of the various touristic agencies and book a trip to Zlatni Rat (the famous beach in Brac Island) or to the Blue Cave on the Island of Vis.
Other possibilities:
- Day trip to Korcula (wonderful town similar to Dubrovnik);
. Day trip around Hvar;
- If you practise nudism take a taxy boat and go to Zecevo.
However the best beaches in Hvar island are Dubovica (white pebbles); Sveti Nedelja (sand and gravel), Milna and Zarace (rocks, pebbles and gravel).

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
