Hvar

When we think of Hvar - we think about the island of heather, sunshine and crickets, the island of lavender, sage and wine and the island of rosemary and secluded coves.

Attractive in the summer just as in the winter, with pleasant Mediterranean climate, rich vegetation of palms, aloes, pine trees, laurel, rosemary and lavender and peaceful coves and islets filled with a multitude of pleasant scents.

How to reach Island Hvar?
if you don't have your own boat you should travel from Split, Drvenik, Ancona or Pescara by ferries or catamarans. This is the only way to come to the island wether you come to Croatia by car, train or plane. We listed timetables for some departures and arrivals to Island Hvar.

Pharos, Stari Grad
