Travel Agent details about Hvar

Hvar is the longest of the Croatian islands and noted for its lush vegetation, quaint towns and fertile vineyards. A particularly rich cultural and monumental heritage complements Hvar's natural and unique beauty. Often called the Lavender Island, the name refers to the aromatic, purple plant that grows in abundance on the island's stony slopes. Today, Hvar Town is one of Croatia's most popular resorts, reputed to receive more hours of sunshine than anywhere else in the country.

Activities

The Hvar Theater - The theater, occupying a part of the Arsenal, was founded in 1612 and is one of the oldest community theaters in Europe. Crvene Stijene (Red Rocks) - Five miles east of Hvar lies an unusual and picturesque natural phenomenon. Layers of limestone interspersed with reddish breccia were lifted up in some distant geological past. The soft breccia layers were washed away by rain and the sea, leaving vertical red-coated hollows. Pakleni Otoci - This group of some 20 islets is dotting the Adriatic Sea just a short distance across from Hvar. These small islands are partially wooded with gravel and sandy beaches and are a favorite of hikers and sun lovers.

Currency

The local currency is the kuna.
