2025 Hvar Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Hvar is the perfect blend of Mediterranean beauty and vibrant island life. My stay at the stunning apartment was an absolute highlight, offering incredible views of the turquoise waters. The heart of the island, **Hvar Town**, buzzes with energy, from its historic **Fortica Fortress** to its lively marina. I recommend climbing to the fortress for panoramic views of the town and nearby islands—it's worth the trek! For a relaxing escape, head to **Pakleni Islands** for secluded beaches and crystal-clear coves. Hvar’s nightlife is also not to be missed, with chic bars along the waterfront. This island has it all—history, adventure, and luxury! **#TravelTips:** Visit during the shoulder season to avoid crowds and enjoy the island’s natural beauty in peace. And don’t miss trying the local lavender products, a specialty of Hvar. #HvarIsland #AmforaHvar #ForticaFortress #PakleniIslands #IslandLife #AdriaticSea #CroatiaTravel #LuxuryResort #ExploreHvar #TravelInspiration #MediterraneanGetaway #TravelGuide #Wanderlust #TripCoins #BeachVibes #Croatia

You don’t have to go island hopping when you visit Croatia, as you can just take a boat to Hvar and you’ll have everything you need! I already knew Hvar Island was beautiful before coming here, but I didn’t expect it to be so stunning. The glass-clear sea is a natural jelly color! ! 🏝️This is the sea that only appears when adjusting the color online, it is visible to the naked eye here! The moment you step off the boat, you will be completely captivated by the beautiful scenery! ✨ The island of Hvar meets all the expectations and needs of everyone for a vacation. Here, you just need to slow down and feel the healing power of the jelly sea. When you are tired, you can drink coffee and eat ice cream on the beach. The restaurant is also beautifully decorated with flowers. Everything is so beautiful! 🛳️Transportation: It is a 1-hour boat ride from Split. I bought tickets from TPLine and Krilo for the outbound and return trips respectively. The one-way fare is 25 Euros for one person and you can arrange your own time. 👙👓Activities: 1️⃣ Recommended for those who want to swim and sunbathe, you can search directly for Beach club hvar. There is a public beach next to this club, where you can rent sun umbrellas and lounge chairs. There are also many places along the way where you can go directly into the sea, and there are not many people~ 2️⃣You can go out to sea and visit different islands. Many people also go to the blue cave/green cave 3️⃣Go to a cafe/restaurant, sit and enjoy the scenery. Most of them are beautifully decorated and the food quality is above average. As for wine, house wine has the highest personality and is close in price to soda. #globaltravel #trip #easterneurope #relax #europetravel

Hvar is an island that you can take a boat to from Split. While traveling around Croatia, I thought this island had the clearest water! Also, if you climb up the Spanish Fortress, you can see the whole view of Hvar Island. 📍 Spanish Fortress Ul. Higijeničkog Društva 25, 21450, Hvar, Croatia Viewpoints of Hvar Island! #EuropeanTravel

Hvar is an amazing Croatian island that people don’t know enough about. The Town of Hvar has it all. Beaches, Sunshine, Nightlife and crystal clear water. I’ve been to many places around the world and rarely to beaches close to the towns have. I’ve clean water but this one has. The beaches are very close to all the hotel resorts and walking distance from the Center of town. The also have showers in the forests for you to wash off all the seawater, and most restaurants in town allow you to get a table in casual clothes. 😁If you are lucky you might also be able to see some ancient ships that still patrol the area. All in all I would definitely recommend this town and island to anyone that is visiting Croatia for its beauty and its untouched natural beaches. Keep in mind most of them are rocky.😉 #christmasgiveaway #beaches #christmaslights

Hvar, also known as Lavender Island Hvar is famous for lavender. Many hawkers on the island sell lavender products, such as sachets and essential oils. Some essential oil bottles have hand painted on them Generally, tourists will stay here for one night and join the blue cave tour there. However, the weather was not really good when we arrived Hvar so we didn’t join the tour. I heard that blue caves are sometimes closed because the water level is too high. If you plan to visit the blue cave, you are suggested to ask the boat agent earlier. Also, you can rent a speedboat to visit nearby islands from Hvar. You can see many of these bakeries (PEKARA) in Croatia, open 24 hours and the price is reasonable, you can buy their bread for breakfast. It is tasty. Because Hvar has very famous stone terraces The whole city fluctuates with the terrain of the hillside, so the whole picture has many layers. It is recommended that you go to the hillside to see the whole city from top to bottom The blue sky, the green space, the red ancient city ...   In the evening, the different flavors of Stephana Church Rather than spending a lot of time on the street, I prefer to run down the alley I am sure that it will surprise you! #浪漫之旅 #海島假期 #情侶出遊 #朋友旅行 #大自然奇觀 #travel #travelphotography #photography #nature #travelgram #wanderlust #travelblogger #trip #adventure #vacation #travelling #explore #picoftheday #travelguide #beautiful #traveller #travelblog #hktravel #blogger #travelblogger #croatia #hvar

#celebrateit Laid-back Mediterranean vibe, fascinating turquoise coves, thriving nightlife, pristine beaches, aromatic fields of lavender and olives, and arresting views of authentic Croatian towns and villages- that's how the popular posh party island of Hvar presents itself to its visitors. This sunkissed island in Croatia is a paradise for party lovers, and witnesses a throbbing crowd of tourists from all over the world, especially during Summers. The queen of the Croatian Dalmatian islands', Hvar has a special place among all the other Croatian tourism highlights. What makes it stand different from the rest is the unique experiences this majestic island has to offer.

#europetravel Hvar, Croatia, was an absolute dream! The best way to visit Hvar is a day trip from Split! When I got to the island, I was struck by the stunning views of the crystal-clear water and the charming old town. I spent my days wandering the cobblestone streets, checking out cute shops and cozy cafes. One of my favorite moments was just lounging around the waterfront, soaking up the sun with a refreshing drink in hand. The sunsets were magical🥹; I loved watching the sky turn vibrant shades of orange and pink from the fortress overlooking the town. I also explored nearby islands on a boat tour, which was a highlight. I can’t wait to go back!

The hike up to Napoleon Fort in Hvar is not a long one, it only takes about 40 minutes but it is a difficult one. The path is very steep and has many stones which means your footing can be quite unstable; however the views on the way up and from the top make it all worthwhile. If you only have a couple of hours to spare and want to enjoy some fantastic views, this is a great hike to do. #getgoing2025 #mountainhike #hvar #hiking

#0yentravelJanuary2025 I went to Croatia last year🇭🇷 I took a plane from the capital Zagreb to Split, and then took a boat to the island of Hvar🏝️ The country is said to be the inspiration for Kiki's Delivery Service and Porco Rosso The view from Hvar Island is like something out of a movie It's hard because there are a lot of stairs and it's hot, but after climbing up, you're soothed by the beautiful scenery. And you can get into the sea everywhere, so I spent all my time in my swimsuit I jumped in, dried off as I walked, and jumped in again...🌊 A country I want to visit again

#0yentravelnovember One of the recommended things to do on Hvar Island is to take a boat to a nearby island! There are boat taxis, and the prices vary! You can experience different things on different islands, so I recommend going to several! Island hopping! The closest island is "Jerolim" It has Amo Beach, and it's the island with the world-famous nude beach! #Croatiatrip #HvarIsland

#0yentravelnovember There is a fruit market🍎🥭🍏 on the island of Hvar There is also a supermarket, but some places only sell fruit It is more expensive than a supermarket, but the atmosphere is nice and you can't help but buy In the fall, pomegranates, which are rare in Japan, are available, and they are very cheap!! There are also many fruits that you have never seen in Japan, so it might be worth stopping by once! You can buy by the gram, so you can buy without worrying! #Trip to Croatia #Trip to Europe

#0yentravelnovember There are many historic buildings and stone houses remaining on the island of Hvar! It's a very fun walk and the photos are sure to look great! However, there are many slopes and stairs, so it's a good idea to wear comfortable shoes! Hvar Island Attractions① Hvar Fortress (Spanish Fortress) Gradska Tvrđava / Španjola This fortress stands on a hill overlooking the town and port of Hvar, and the contrast between the endless blue sky, the Adriatic Sea, and the town of Hvar makes for a beautiful observation deck. Locals call this place "Spanish Fortress Španjola," which comes from the fact that there were Spaniards among the engineers who built it. #Trip to Croatia #Trip to Europe #Hvar

#0yentravelnovember Hvar The islands of Vis and Biševo are islands in the Adriatic Sea a little further west from Hvar. Vis is a popular resort island like Hvar, and many people visit in the summer to enjoy the beautiful beaches and sea. The island of Hvar is surprisingly large, stretching nearly 80km from east to west, and to be honest, it is quite inconvenient to travel around the island. Access to Hvar There are many high-speed boats and ferries to Hvar from Split throughout the year, and there are also services to the neighboring islands of Brac and Korcula. #HvarIsland #EuropeTrip #CroatiaTrip

#0yentravelnovember The island where celebrities from all over Europe gather Hvar island Hvar island is a long island that runs from east to west, located about 35km south of Split, across from Brac island. It is famous as one of Europe's leading resort islands, and is also known for its high rate of sunny days, with more than 2700 hours of sunshine per year. It was once an island that was at the mercy of history, with rulers changing one after another from the Greeks, the Republic of Venice, the Eastern Roman Empire, Hungary, France, and Italy, but now it is a peaceful island with olive and wine vineyards spreading out, and lavender blooming in early summer. #Croatiatrip #Europetrip #Hvarisland

#0yentripnovember You can get rock salt on Parmigiana, a remote island on the island of Hvar, Croatia! (Taught by an owner living on the island) If you look at the rocks away from the beach, you can see rock salt floating up in the gaps between the rocks, completely dried up! ...

#0yentripnovember . . . The townscape of Hvar Island is just like how I imagine it to be in Europe and the contrast with the sky was beautiful . .

Hvar Island (Croatian: Hvar), called Lesina in Italian and the ancient name "Felas Island", is an island in the Dalmatian archipelago off the coast of Croatia, located south of Split. Hvar Island enjoys abundant sunshine all year round and attracts tourists from all over the world with its beautiful natural scenery and rich cultural heritage. In the medieval Hvar city walls built in the 13th century, there are ancient Gothic palaces and marble-paved pedestrian streets. There are many small and rocky beaches dotted along a long cape. There are also some very interesting bars and cafes along the harbor, which is an ideal place for people to relax and enjoy the view.

Croatia 🇭🇷 Hvar Island Recommended Patisserie 🎂 There are many bakeries and cafes around, but there are few patisseries with sweets lined up like this! Among them, the sweets at this shop were very delicious~♡ I had the peanut butter brownie, €5.6 It's sweet but not heavy, and the aroma of peanut butter is irresistible! The coffee here is strong, so it goes well with the coffee~☕ They have a wide variety of drinks, and the staff are very nice, so I recommend you go! Nonica Caffe Bar Address: Kroz Burak 23, 21450, Hvar Atmosphere/Facilities: ①It's in a narrow alley so it's a little hard to find, but there are signs in various places, so take a good look before you go! ②It's a common thing overseas, but 🤣 the opening hours vary! Recommended points: A place where you can eat authentic sweets at a relatively reasonable price! 🍰 And there is an eat-in area (outdoor seating), so you can relax in a Croatian atmosphere🙆 Average price: €5~ per item Budget per person: If you use the cafe too, it's €10☕ If you take out, you only pay for the snacks🍪 ※They don't pack it as carefully as they do in Japan, so we recommend eating in! ⚠Points to note⚠ Only cash!! Prepare your cash beforehand! #Couple trip #100 travel styles #Croatia #Croatian tourism #Hvar island #haver #Croatia #patisserie #island trip

Recommended sweets for Japanese people living in Croatia! 【milka】 They have a wide variety of chocolate bars and they are all delicious, but milka's brownies and cookies are also irresistibly delicious! About €2.8! There are 6 of each! It's hot in Croatia during the day. Chocolate melts and you can't carry it around, but you can easily replenish your sugar intake with baked goods 🥹🌟 And, it's usually cheaper at pharmacies than at supermarkets (it's pretty much the same in Japan!) Be sure to stop by a pharmacy too! #EuropeanSweets #EuropeTrip #CoupleTrip #MarriedTrip #Honeymoon #Croatia #HvarIsland #Trip #OverseasSweets #IslandTrip

Nestled in a picturesque cove on the western side of Hvar island lies the historic and stunning Hvar town, by far and away one of the most beautiful places we've ever laid eyes on. #hvar

#CouplesTrip Croatia　Haver🇭🇷. . . [Hvar Island, Croatia] Take a ferry from Split and head south to this long island. It's one of Europe's leading resorts, so there are a lot of tourists. However, since it's far from the city, it doesn't feel crowded, and even though it's peak summer season, it feels relatively comfortable. (There are very few Asians) . . . I often see Italians across the sea as being very friendly, but the people on Hvar Island in Croatia are also really friendly. When you open the window, they'll say hello if you make eye contact, and they'll help you right away if you're in trouble. If you're taking a picture, the girl at the restaurant across the street will say "Like, like!" If you get anxious about whether you're getting in the way while taking a picture, they'll call out to you, "Shall I take a picture for you?" It's a peaceful, warm island. . . . 🚢🌊 There are many ferries from various companies, but we booked through the [KAPETAN LUKA - KRILO] website. The website itself can be changed to English, so it was easy to make a reservation! The price was 16.72€ for two people (2024/06/28) It was cheaper than booking through a comparison site that can be viewed in Japanese! . . . ✍AYUMI ---------------------------------------- #Croatia trip #Hvar island #Europe trip #couple trip #croatia #summer memories #summer trip #trip #Western-style architecture
