The Magical Island of Hvar
This one Island of Croatia is an injection of fun, aqua sports, nature awe and night life surprises. The high seasons run from May to September every year and the city lives out of these profitable months. The island is then so lively that you sleeping makes you feel you are missing so mucn.
Some of the "must do" activities include going up to the Hvar Fortress, HulaHula Bar for sunset, laying on a pebble beach all day with cocktails, and renting a boat to the neighboring islands or day trip to the Blue Cave.
Up high at the Hvar Fortress you will get the best view of the beautiful Hvar Island. This was definitely one of the best moments in Hvar where you can glimpse over the harbor and its neighboring islands. Up there you can sit and relax at a very nice and cozy lounge style cafe which offers a pretty decent list of beverages and some snacks. The Fortress is accessible by foot and car. I did not see the car route, but the foot route is definitely unique as you get different stunning views each step climbed. Sunset time is magical, so maybe you can get up there at the end of your beach day ;) - tip: if you are not scared of heights, sit on one of the Fortress' higher walls (to the left once you enter the fortress), it will definitely be one of those life wow moments as you watch the sun go down.
At sunset time it seems like the whole island, mostly tourists yes, meet at the HulaHula Bar. It is a fun place to meet people while enjoying a truly stunning sunset - it is a privileged view.
If you are in a group of 2 or more and feel adventurous, I definitely recommend renting your own, small, boat and go around the smaller islands around Hvar. It is pretty easy to get around and the boat rental companies give you a map and very easy instructions to follow. There's a big variety of boat rental companies, so do some research and info gathering around before you book one that satisfies your standards and prices.
Many companies also offer guided one day trips to the Blue Cave, this is a stunning trip and you must do it! You can get lucky and get a cool guide which will take you to the most amazing remote islands and caves of the Adriatic Sea. This is definitely one of the highest points of Croatia!
At night time, Hvar will offer you taxi boats to the Night Club islands, where as soon as you touch the sand there, you are already on the "dancing floor" - DJ and dancing fun all night long :)
