Hvar Croatia is wonderful and remarkable in everything. Hvar boasts one of the most beautiful
Mediterranean landscapes Nature has ever created, an agreeable and healthy climate,
a clean, unpolluted environment, the strong and intoxicating fragrance of lavender,
rosemary and heather, cheerful and brisk everyday life,age-old and glorious history,
illustrious Renaissance poets, the first public theatre in Europe, an attractive
urban visage (some have likened it to a woman's face), a rich variety of cultural
and historic monuments, the longest tradition of organised tourism in Croatia,
witty and charming hosts and their immeasurable love for their town, and a magical
power to charm and enslave anyone who ever steps on its soil.
Hvar is the biggest and the most important town on the island of Hvar - centre of the island's tourism. It is a town of a unique cultural and historical heritage but also an important tourist resort with a centuries-old tradition in tourism.
The town's harbour provided a suitable location for a port, being geographically ideal and also protected by islands, making it a safe haven for boats hiding from hazardous winds. The regular ferry Split-Hvar-Korcula-Dubrovnik stops at the port, helping the city of Hvar to retain its status as the centre of the island's tourism.
