A complete guide to Hvar

Hvar is so much more than just a party island, and the town of Hvar itself. When I was recommended to go there I was a skeptical, but as soon I set foot on the island it stole my heart. It's beautiful, it's wild and rugged, it's also full of nature and peaceful places and good restaurants. It's well worth a visit if you want to go off the beaten path and take the time to get to know it. In order to do that, you will need a car.

Where to stay

That being said, dotted around the island are plenty of other super nice places worth staying at such as Jelsa, Pitve, and Vbroska or other seaside towns worth discovering. Either way, it's worth getting off the beaten path.

How to get around

As I mentioned in the introduction, a car is the best way to get around. You could also rent a scooter, an e-bike and do boat excursions, but if you want the freedom to explore the island a car is best.

There are many ferries daily, the easiest option is to check the Jadrolinija website for timetables.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Emma B

I'm Emma, an avid traveller and I've been fortunate enough to travel my whole life. I frequently travel as a solo female traveller. I have been all over Europe, and places further afield like Cuba, Japan and Thailand to name a few. I also lived for 8 years in Geneva, 6 years in Amsterdam, and have been going to London since I was a child. When I travel I love to discover the best of local destinations, whether that's cafes, bars or restaurants, but also outdoor spots, hikes, beaches, or other unique locations. My goal is to travel on an affordable budget that doesn't break the bank, but without being on a shoestring either. On Thatch I want to share my knowledge, years of experience and research with you, to enable you to make the most of your travels and help you fall in love with the places I've been.
