Choice list of restaurants, bars, beach clubs, and lodging to enjoy the island-life on 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.
