The
island of Hvar is located in the Adriatic Sea, off the Dalmatian coast. To the
north, the island of Brač lies across the Hvar Channel (Hvarski kanal), to the
west is Vis, separated by the Vis Channel, and to the south Korčula lies across
the Korčula Channel, while the Pelješac Peninsula is across the Neretva
Channel.
Hvar
has climbed its way to international recognition without effort. Effortlessly
ranked as Croatia’s trendiest summer destination, Hvar became an ultimate
must-be spot on a travel map for demanding international travelers looking for
an authentic Mediterranean experience scented with glamour.
In
the heart of Europe, Hvar's uniquely sunny microclimate, unspoiled landscape,
and rich cultural heritage made it one of the first tourist resorts in the
Adriatic.
