Hvar, the island in Adriatic Sea, is the longest and the sunniest Croatian island and one of the most beautiful islands in the world. It is a part of the central Dalmatian archipelago with the area of 299,6m². The island Hvar is famous for its pleasant Mediterranean climate. Maximum temperatures are never too high to render agriculture impossible. Friendly people, well-indented coast, numerous picturesque and intact beaches and bays, virgin nature, very rich historical and cultural inheritance, the scents of lavender, olive trees and wine are the reasons that island Hvar welcomes more and more tourists each year.

Long, lean Hvar is vaguely shaped like the profile of a holidaymaker reclining on a sun lounger, which is altogether appropriate for the sunniest spot in the country and its most luxurious beach destination. Hvar\'s interior hides abandoned ancient hamlets, craggy peaks, vineyards and the lavender fields that the island is famous for. It’s worth exploring on a day trip, as is the southern end of the island, which has some of Hvar’s most beautiful and isolated coves.

Jelsa is tourist center on the north shore of the island. The smells of the dense pine forests, the nearby sand beaches, numerous vineyards and olive tree plantations as well as the cultural landmarks have made Jelsa an attractive vacation destination. Numerous vilae rusticae around Jelsa, the church of St. Mary, the church of our Lady of health, Civitas Vetus Ielsae (old Jelsa city), the square of St. John and The Plaza are just some of the places to visit as you take a walk through the history of this town. While numerous surrounding coves with their attractive sand and pebble beaches, abundance of sun and clear water are here for your daytime relaxation. In the colorful atmosphere of Jelsa’s restaurants and taverns you will surely enjoy the fruits of the Mediterranean region, carefully prepared traditional meals made of fresh fish with olive oil and above all quality Hvar wine. Rather fresh Jelsa’s evenings are ideal for walks on the beach, while those who are looking for entertainment and dancing will enjoy the music of numerous Jelsa cafes and bars.
