Hvar

Hvar is the perfect place for a dreamy holiday and a crown jewel on many luxury Croatia cruises. The pearl of the Adriatic, this beautiful island has it all: pristine secluded bays, ancient coastal towns, quaint villages in the interior, a wealth of sunlight, and the irresistible aromas of lavender, olives, and wine.

Hvar is the sunniest Croatian island, averaging 2 726 hours per year. No wonder the region is famous for its white wines and olive oil. Its sandy beaches and crystal clear sea attract nature lovers in the summer. The Stari Grad Plain is one of the best preserved ancient agricultural landscapes in Europe and today a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to such historical gems as a 17th-century lighthouse, Roman temple, and Illyrian walls. It's also renowned for its bustling nightlife like nowhere else on the island.

The beautiful town of Hvar will help you experience all the magic of the Adriatic. With its fashionable reputation, Stari Grad and Jelsa will give you a real feel for the area.
