The Hvar Island is one of my favorites, as it's filled with glitz and glamour. It's the most luxurious island on the coast and it is considered the sunniest place in the country. I was amazed by the yachts gliding through the tranquil waters in the shadow of a medieval castle as it felt like a scene out of a movie.
The castle has passed hands between the Byzantines, Venetians, and Austrians. The adventure doesn't stop on the sea, because on land, lavender fields stand waiting to take your breath away.
Stari Grad and Jelsa, the island's two other towns, are emerging as popular alternatives thanks to their quieter, more sophisticated charms.
