About
Island of Hvar
The Island of Hvar is the fourth largest Adriatic
Island. 68 km long and maximum 10,5 km wide this island
counts 11200 inhabitants. With average of approximately
2750 sun shine hours per year this island is among the
most sun tenacious travel destinations in the Adriatic.
The climate on Hvar is characterized by warm and dry
summers and mild winters. Rich with pine tree forests
and Mediterranean plants such as lavender and rosemary,
fresh with summer winds, the Hvar Island is even in
the hottest summer days a spot with fresh air and pleasant
nights. The island of Hvar is ideal for a wide range
of outdoor activities, such as cycling, hiking, sailing
and scuba diving.
Hvar is a perfect place for residents who enjoy peaceful
living and a lot of rest. Both history and nature have
moulded the region through striking artistic achievement
and detailed accounts of that creativity . The seven
century-old walls, with fortifications towering above
them, keep watch over the city of Hvar. There is also
a seductive smell of lavander fields that also reflect
a purple brillance to the local residents. The grapes
of Hvar bask in the sun's rays each season so that they
can later be pressed into wine.
This 68-kilometre long island lies a two-hour ferry
ride from the mainland port of Split. Very popular with
the yachting crowd, it’s known for its lavender fields,
vineyards and old Venetian-style stone buildings.

Hvar is the longest of the
Croatian islands and noted for its lush vegetation,
quaint towns and fertile vineyards.
A particularly rich cultural and monumental heritage
complements Hvar's natural and unique beauty. Often
called the Lavender Island, the name refers to the aromatic,
purple plant that grows in abundance on the island's
stony slopes. In addition to the main town with the
same name as the island, there is Stari Grad. Founded
in 385 B.C. by Greek colonists, it was the island's
capital until the 14th-century.
In the Middle Ages, the new capital Hvar achieved renown
and power as an important port of the Venetian marine
empire. Under Venetian rule, Hvar grew rich exporting
wine, figs and fish. Despite social and political changes
through the centuries, the island has retained its fame
as a great center of Croatian literature, architecture,
sculpture, painting and music, surpassed only by Dubrovnik.
Today, Hvar Town is one of Croatia's most popular resorts,
reputed to receive more hours of sunshine than anywhere
else in the country. |
