as seen in

Hvar boasts crystal blue waters, a temperate climate, endless fields of lavender, and a stunning medieval setting. Hvar is also rich in history. It has the oldest communal theater in Europe and the largest square on the Croatian coast. There's an impressive medieval fortress dating back to the 7th century. Just across the water from Hvar's port you will find the Pakleni archipelago. Go sailing or just go for a swim. There are 21 beautiful islands with isolated beaches and secluded coves. They make the ideal place to spend your summer vacation. All this makes Hvar a must-see stop on your Croatia vacation.

Europe's sunniest island, Hvar is truly charming. 
That's why Conde Nast Traveler Magazine named Hvar one of the ten most beautiful islands in the world.

Hvar is one of the Adriatic's largest islands. It is a haven of vegetation, including palm trees, lavender, and vineyards. You should taste Hvar's renowned Plavac wines, which are world-class. The cuisine in Hvar is characteristic of traditional Mediterranean dining. A typical meal consists of locally caught fish, vegetables, fresh bread, and homemade wine and spirits. From beaches to welcoming hotels to sightseeing, however you plan your itinerary, it's hard not to have an unforgettable vacation on Hvar.

What we love about Hvar

Antonia

Operations Executive

I would say that Hvar is one of my country's trendy islands and that is what makes it special! While walking around Hvar you can feel life! Yachts, boats, small islands, many restaurants, bars, clubs, local people, tourists and very often famous people can be found in the very center of Hvar. It's definitely Croatia's fanciest island.

Lidija

Senior Trip Planner

Imagine a small Mediterranean town full of stone houses built close together and a sea so clear that you can see everything on the bottom, even in the harbor, and you'll have Hvar.

Ivana

Operations Quality & Pricing Specialist

Although for long time it had the "stigma" of being Croatia's party island, Hvar is much more. It's a perfect place to visit in early spring or late autumn, when it's not too busy, to experience the real island life, and to really enjoy what island has to offer. One thing that is a must in Hvar is wine! They make a lot of good wine, and you have to try as many as possible!

We are so glad we went with JayWay. For all of our other European vacations I had done most or all of the planning. JayWay made the planning process much less time consuming than doing it myself and much more enjoyable. Having all of the transfers and excursions planned in advance by JayWay made vacation much more relaxing.
