Hvar

— Journey —

4 h from Kotor · ferry from Split

Hvar is the glamour capital of the Croatian islands — a Venetian walled town on an island of lavender and rosemary, where catamaran arrivals from Split dock in the old harbour beneath a Venetian castle and the town fills in summer with the boats of international UHNW guests. The Pakleni Islands (Paklinski Otoci) just offshore offer a dozen small coves accessible by private water taxi; Carpe Diem Beach is the most famous party beach on the Adriatic. The Franciscan Monastery, the Cathedral of Saint Stephen, and the island interior (olive groves, vineyards, hilltop villages of Velo Grablje and Humac) represent Hvar beyond the summer scene. FFGR Montenegro arranges Hvar as a two-day Adriatic excursion: chauffeur to Split, private speedboat transfer to Hvar Town, and return.
