Hvar, Croatia

Join the glitz and glamour with a gulet holiday that stops in cosmopolitan Hvar town!

Hailed as the new St Tropez, history and culture abound, together with a vibrant night life, with bars and restaurants open late into the night. The 13th century old town walls surround Gothic palaces and the traffic free winding stone streets. Visit the Renaissance cathedral, the oldest theatre in Europe, the Franciscan monastery and the Benedictine convent famous for it’s lace.

If you’re feeling energetic, you can climb up to Spanjola fortress which dominates the skyline above the town, for magnificent views over Hvar and the Pakleni islands.

Later, for a ‘when in Rome’ moment, dine on Hvarska Gregada, the traditional local dish prepared as the fishermen would, with fresh fish, sliced potatoes, onion, olive oil, white wine and herbs. Delicious! Or “Ukusno!” as they say around here.
