Town of Hvar

    The town of Hvar is a unique combination of luxuriant Mediterranean nature, rich and complex cultural and historical heritage and modern tourist trendiness.
    Situated in a picturesque natural setting, facing the southern, sunny side of the world, which blessed it with all its Mediterranean beauty and brightness, Hvar faces to the sea; the sea that gave it a remarkable and unique history.
    Hvar is an inexhaustible treasury of sights, adventures and atmospheres. The name Hvar was derived from Pharos, a Greek name for both the island and the town known today as Stari Grad, which was the centre of the island until the 13th century, when the governance transferred to Hvar.
     Hvar prospered as an important harbour during the empire of Venetian Republic in the Middle Ages. Today, Hvar is the tourist centre of the island and a favourite tourist destinations in Dalmatia, with nice and friendly people who are almost entirely dedicated to tourism.
