One other very popular destination that you can visit is a boat tour from Split to the Blue Cave

 

 

Split to Hvar

After visiting Bol, next is the Islands of Hvar where you will have time for sightseeing, and if you didn’t know Hvar was founded in 384 BC under the Ancient Greeks, which means that makes Hvar one of the oldest towns in Europe!

What you need to know about Hvar is that its really picturesque with many places to visit not just the city of Hvar, and if you go further away a bit from the main city, you can disconnect from the noise of the crowds but still not feel like you are completely disconnected from the world, a perfect balance!

Another oldest place is actually also located in Hvar, its town square! The town square is called "Sv Stjepan" that would translate to "Saint Stephen" and it is 4500 square meters big, which makes it (almost) one of the biggest and the oldest town squares in Dalmatia.

So the city of Hvar is definitely worth checking out, its also always featured on many "top 10 lists" one for example Conde Nast Traveller top 10 list!

But Hvar is not just the city of Hvar, it is much more!

Places like, the Fortica which lays directly above the city of Hvar, on a little hill which when you reach it, the climb will be really worth it because in the distance you will see the "Pakleni Islands" and drinking coffee or tea and relaxing with that view is really a experience you need to have!

Another place is the Franciscan monastery which is very close to the town centre and then you have beaches which also wait for you to explore them beaches like Makićevica, Milna and Pokonji Dol and also one cove, which is called Zaraće, and you don’t need to worry about restaurants and cafes, in Croatia almost everywhere where is a beach, there is a place to relax and have a drink!

But you have only one hour to visit all of these places, which of course, is not possible in that timeframe, you could see the city centre and the main square, so what could be a good idea, is to come back and explore all of Hvar by yourself!

So we recommend you, a boat transfer from Split to Hvar! We pick you up and drop you and even pick you up again if you wish!

 

Split to Pakleni Islands

 

 

After Hvar our adventure continues to the "Pakleni Islands" or in English "Hell Islands" we know what you think, its a strange name, but it is thought and believed that the name came from "Paklina" which was actually a pine resin that was harvested in order to make boats throughout history.

The closest of the islands to Hvar is called Sveti Jerolim and has nudist beaches that you can visit!

Next to it is Marinkovac island which is a bit bigger then Sveti Jerolim, it has a port or “bay” where boats can be anchored with a few restaurants and cafes for you to choose to spend your day in!

There are a few smaller islands close by “Ždrilca” and Mlini that looks like a small Blue Lagoon.

Whatever your choice is, a swift boat transfer, boat tour or even a sightseeing tour we will insure that you get the best experince to make your stay in Croatia a memorable experience!
