Hvar

Hvar is the sunniest Adriatic island and a fashionable destination - if it is good enough for Beyonce, Prince Harry or the president of Croatia, it is good enough for us! But it’s not all about sun and party; Hvar has a rich history, tradition and beautiful nature; the island is the only destination in Croatia with three sites listed on the UNESCO list of protected natural and cultural heritage.


Upon arrival to Hvar town, join our sightseeing tour with a local guide who will tell you about the oldest communal theatre in Europe (set above “Arsenal” at the local square) and many other interesting things about Hvar. Walk along the seaside promenade east from the port to visit the Franciscan Monastery and art collection with the most famous life-size painting of ‘Last Supper’ from Mateo of Ravenna. Open 10–13h (May, Jun, Sept and Oct) and 10–13h & 17-19h (Jul and Aug).


The island of Hvar is famous for its lavender fields and lavender oils or scent bags are very typical souvenirs, as well as agave lace handmade by nuns from the Benedictine convent or local honey with special taste.


Well worth the climb is a view from the Venetian Citadel above the town. In addition to the amazing view of the Hvar and Paklinski Islands, you will also see a display of Greek and Roman finds. Open during high season 9-21h (or even longer). In pre and post-season it is also possible to visit, but it will not be open throughout the whole day. After climbing down, do not miss out on a sunset cocktail at one of many after-beach parties organized at bars all over town. 

PLEASE NOTE, due to Port Authorities Rules and Regulations, ships are not allowed to dock until called in, and this is often not until late afternoon. 

Discover the enchanting island of Hvar, where crystal-clear waters meet historic charm. Wander through ancient stone streets, bask in the Mediterranean sun on pristine beaches, and savor the vibrant nightlife. Hvar promises an unforgettable escape in the heart of the Adriatic.
