It is said that the island of Hvar gets more sunshine than any other part of Croatia. Our travels to Hvar confirmed that. We had beautiful, sunny weather each day of our visit. The island has a temperate climate, relaxing environment, interesting history and great food and wine.
A major communications center for Venice in the past, now the island's main industries are tourism and wine.
Hvar is part of the Middle Adriatic islands (Hvala Croisbeauty!). The island is located just off the Croatian coast in the Adriatic near Split.
Hvar is not large. It is only 67 kilometers long and 10.5 kilometers wide. However, packed in this tiny island is a fascinating history and relaxing atmosphere.
- Pros:Sunny, warm weather, fantastic sea food, quaint town
- In a nutshell:Small island - good location for a short trip

good page! I'd love to go there.
Greetings from Hvar! You have nice Hvar tips! It's great to be back here ;)
Hvar for us this summer - your page confirms all we've heard. I', interested in your ferry crossing as we're also heading to Mostar and it's very close. leyle
nice page on Hvar..glad you liked my country .-)
Unfortunately, the boneless-skinless-headless fish invades Europe. Asked to draw a dish, children often draw a stick! I hope that it will not happen around the Adriatic! Haha, table territorialism! That is how wars can begin!
I'm sorry we took a pass on Hvar, looks like a lovely place :-)
I've BEEN on the wrong end of that "you're at OUR table" situation. We Yanks are so gauche.
Karen, you have a wonderful page on Hvar. What a gorgeous place...glorious scenery here.
Hi, great page. Our friends were on Hvar Island this year, they were delighted with it. It seems it is like a small paradise:) Greetings from POland.
Great tips, I agree with you!
