Hvar Island

 
Hvar Island is considered by many to be the gem of the Adriatic. Hvar is a green island, with beaches spattering the coastline and lavender fields gracing the interior. The town of Hvar is one of the most popular destinations in the Adriatic with numerous historic buildings and structures dating as far back as the 13th Century. At the west end of the island is Stari Grad, Jelsa, and Vrboska.

Ferries service the island of Hvar on a regular basis from the main port in Split. Once on the island, local buses run between Hvar and the other towns. It is also possible to hire a car or bicycle.
