Due to its extremely important position in the center of the main sea routes, history has left many traces on Hvar, perhaps more than on any other Adriatic island. The constant struggles for supremacy that have been waged in this area between the various invaders are only a confirmation of the significance and value that this territory has had since ancient times.The first evidence of life in this area dates back to prehistoric times, when the discovery of painted pottery in Marko and Grapčeva Caves defined a separate Hvar culture. It is interesting that the oldest representation of a ship in Europe was found on fragments of a vessel from Grapcheva shpilja.Today, Hvar is often called the "Croatian St-Tropez", and is one of the most popular Croatian islands. The town of Hvar has become a major destination for entertainment from all over the world. One of the main features of Hvar is sunlight. The island of Hvar is blessed with 2718 hours of sunshine a year, which makes it the sunniest Croatian island.

I really enjoyed myself on my trip to this beautiful town. I particularly enjoyed taking walks along its pathways lined by beautiful lavender vines and enjoying the pleasant warm sun. I found this mystical island very relaxing!

We really enjoyed the relaxed and calm nature of this island. I particularly enjoyed the summer sunsets and as the town turned golden, even time seemed to stop. This is by far the most relaxing and calming trip I ever had.

Hvar island has famous local beers that I and the boys came to check out. We visited the breweries and tasted the various tasty craft beers of different flavors and the whole experience left us feeling so nice. We shall visit again.

We rented a motorboat and went to explore the unfrequented coves of the islands with their serene and inviting waters. We had a good time taking dips in the water and we look forward to our next trip.

I was impressed to learn that the island has vineyards that ferment grapes to exotic wine. I bought a few bottles and its sweet sensations stimulated my entire body.

The island lived up to its fame. I greatly enjoyed its signature delicious dishes such as gregada served with freshly baked bread in the traditional way.

The island's warm guides made our trips very memorable. Like taking us to the delightful abandoned villages where we got to enjoy tasty white fish prepared on open flames. The expansive lavender fields and pine trees brought some wonderful calming breezes.
