Beautiful relaxing islands in the middle of nature. It is recommended to spend a day on these islands by renting a small boat with which to enjoy the entire archipelago.

The Mlini beach is something that you will always remember. Pebble beach, turquoise sea, pine tree forest that almost touch the surface of the water, in the pine forest there are adventure games for children, gym, and a walk on the cliff. Everything here is an adventure combined with ultimate relaxation.

Beautiful beach within walking distance from the town of Hvar. The seabed is made up of large pebbles that are not really comfortable so it’s recommended to wear aqua shoes, but for those who want to just relax, there are some deckchairs. The beach is almost deserted and the sea is crystal clear.

8. St. Stephen’s Cathedral

The cathedral is one of the main points of Hvar and located in the main square. Though it is no different from other churches in Croatia it has its special charm. Both the Square and the Cathedral are built with Croatian stone that is almost white, giving a different atmosphere than usual.

The fortress is reached by an uphill and narrow winding road making it a bit challenging, but when you arrive at the top the view is spectacular with all the islands of the archipelago that stretch out into the sea. It’s rich in history, a destination certainly for those who are passionate about the past.
