Hvar Insider Tip

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.

Zadar Insider Tip

Alfred Hitchcock called Zadar's sunset 'the most beautiful in the world.' The Sea Organ on the waterfront uses wave energy to play music through stone pipes โ€” sit beside it at dusk. The nearby Greeting to the Sun installation lights up at night.

๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท 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.

๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท Zadar Fun Fact

Zadar has been bombed, besieged, and devastated more times than almost any city in Europe โ€” Byzantines, Venetians, Crusaders, Austrians, and NATO aircraft in 1944 all left their mark. Yet its Roman forum still stands in the city centre.
