 Hvar, Croatia Vacations Photo by Croatia Tourism Board
Hvar is situated in a very scenic natural setting, facing towards the south, the sun and the sea. After centuries of extraordinary history, Hvar is now the main tourist center of the island and favorite resorts on the Dalmatian Riviera.
Hvar Island is quickly becoming one of the hottest vacation destinations for celebrities, upscale tourists and sophisticated travelers. Hvar is pulling vacationers away from renowned hangouts for the rich like San Tropez, Aspen and Majorca. Why is this happening? Hvar has some of the best weather in the world, good accommodations, great nightlife and great restaurants that have Croation cuisine.
The medieval castle, a large 16th-century fortress that stands above Hvar Town was constructed by the Venetians, the ramparts are a great place to view Hvar Town's rooftops and its harbor. There is a fine collection of ancient amphorae found just offshore and a mysterious feeling dungeon. The walk up to the fortress is a nice but challenging trek during the day, but at night the climb can be treacherous because the trail up to the site are not lighted at night.
There is a splendid 15th-century monastery south of the center, where fun concerts are held every 2 days during the tourism season. There is a interesting museum with a collection of sacral art and a lovely garden with a view of the Mediterranean, Adriatic sea. Another church, Our Lady of Mercy, next to the monersary dates from the 15th century.
The Loggia and Clock Tower is a must see, an extraordinary example of Renaissance architecture. It was damaged by the Turks in 1571, then repaired, now a salon in the Hotel Palace, complete with a grand piano.
