Dobar dan / Bok
Walk the city walls at opening time (8 AM) to beat the cruise ship crowds. The Old Town is pedestrian-only โ wear comfortable shoes on the marble Stradun which gets slippery when wet.
Hvar town is car-free. Take a water taxi to the Pakleni islands for secluded swimming spots the tour groups miss. The fortress above the town offers the best views at golden hour.
๐ญ๐ท Dubrovnik Fun Fact
Dubrovnik was the first state in the world to officially abolish the slave trade โ in 1416, over 400 years before the British Empire. The city-republic of Ragusa prided itself on freedom ('Libertas') above all.
๐ญ๐ท Hvar Fun Fact
Hvar is one of the sunniest spots in Europe with over 2,700 hours of sunshine per year โ and has been cultivating lavender since the 14th century. The island's lavender fields bloom purple every June.
