Hvar is an ancient town with a rich history on the island in the Croatian Adriatic Sea with the same name. Hvar is proud that it has the most sunny hours of all the islands in the Adriatic Sea. Many people say of the town Hvar that it is a town as from a fairy- tale because its arhitecture, wonderful nature and its mild climate. Everbody can find in Hvar all what gives peace to the soul and relaxation to he body. From the sea you see a waterfront promenade bordered with a row of palm trees and seven centuries old walls, overtopped by the fortresses protecting Hvar, extending downwards to the town and to the Venetian loggia. Coming from the central part of the island or by using the road from the ferry harbour we arrive at the magnificent Piazza, a square generally considered the most beautiful of its kind in Dalmatia, dominated by St. Stephen's Cathedral and bordered by the Palaces of Groda and by the cascading stone-built houses of Burag. But, no matter from which point this town is approached, Hvar immediately presents itself as a monument. Centuries have ground its stone, epochs, above all renaissance, have shaped its appearance. Monuments within monuments, monuments on monuments. Hvar is a jewel hidden by the march of time. The night life in Hvar is what attracts the numerous young people from around the world. A typical vacation day in Hvar involves getting up near noon, having a fresh fish with domestic vegetables and virgin olive oil, then taking a place in excursion boat to one of the Pakleni Island bays, enyojing a perfect sea and beautiful people all around. Hanging out in cafes in the afternoon and wondering around old stone streets, visiting arhitectural attractions is just a warm up for the cocktail evening at Carpe Diem, or a disco night in Fortica until the morning. A special delight in Hvar is the ability to stay in untouched bays near town which you can reach by car, by bicycle or by a pleasant walk through Mediterranean landscapes. It is possible to swim in these bays, and in almost every one there is a restaurant or an adequate place for refreshment.
