Hvar

Listed under Islands in Croatia.

Hvar is one of the most charming islands off the Croatian coast, well known for its secluded sandy coves, archeological sites, (the island was at the centre of a thriving culture in 3000BC), and its hills of lavender, heather and rosemary. A creeping fast food tourist culture is beginning to appear on the island, but it's still largely unspoilt. It's a great place for hiking - there are incredible views from the mountain ridge that bisects the island.
