Pakleni islands
The group of 20 islands and rocks spreading in front of the Hvar town is called Pakleni islands (Paklinski), and it is a unique and most recognisable natural beauty of Hvar. Once without any vegetation, just barely covered with aromatic herbs and few cultivated fields ( there was a corn crops) and with a small settlement Vloka, today it represent very popular Hvar tourist excursion resort, well known around a world, specially among sailsman.
The naturist lovers have found their space under the sun in Pakleni island also (see map), and besides a restaurants offer, there are also beach bars for those who want to party during the day. Excursion boats are sailing all day between diferent spots on Pakleni islands and Hvar harbour (Usually in front of Arsenal in Hvar).
Fortress Fortica (Španjola)
Hvar cathedral
Hvar theatre (and Arsenal)
Franciscan monastery
Benedictian convent
Besides mainly a spiritual character which this convent gives to this area, today it is well known for its lace made from agava tree - this is endemic and only made here, knowledge being traditionally passed to next generations for almost 130 years.
Stari Grad
Fishpond of Petar Hektorović
This renesans poet has been building it for all of his long life, and for him it was as much important as it was his own poetry. In this building he has achieved his idea of microcosmos - small isolated world, where all living godly creatures have their space for living - fish, birds, plants and people (him, his friends, his holly vife, travelers, poor people).
The fortress is also a stone book - Hektorovic has carved in stone more than 20 writings on Latin and Italian language (on Italian only one - his life moto - Fede e realta o quanto e bella! - How beutiful is the faith and reality!), and also on Croatian language.
St. Stjepan Square
Church of St. Stjepan
is a baroque building. The work on building has started in year 1605 after the old cathedral and bishops convent were destroyed. The main portal and possibly the face of the church have been built by famous master from Korcula Ivan Pomenić, the person who built todays cathedral in city of Hvar.The Stari Grad field (HORA)
Today it is invaded by alep pine tree, which is slowly progessing to the edges of settlement. The Stari Grad field has been under protection of UNESCO together with a old town of Stari Grad.

Insel Hvar Bilder
Bildergallerie der Insel Hvar
Jede Beschreibung der Insel Hvar wird zu einem erfolgslosen Versuch das Meisterstück eines berühmten Malers nachzuahmen. Anbei einige Aufnahmen von der Insel Hvar, die dazu beitragen könnten ein Bild von der Insel zu bekommen, ob auch nicht zur Gänze, für ein echtes Bild fehlt es an persönlicher Erfahrung.
Nachtleben in Stadt Hvar
Im Sommer ist das Nachtleben in Hvar das beste an der Adria. Die Stadt strömt eine besondere Atmosphäre aus und immer ist etwas los. Unterhaltung dauert bis lang in der Nacht und die Gäste können zahlreiche Veranstaltungen, Restaurants, Kneipen und Klubs besuchen.
Wegen verschiedener Struktur und Alter der Besucher ändert sich die Atmosphäre der Stadt jeder Monat. Demzufolge ist Hvar immer neu und interessant in seinen verschiedenen Phasen.
Juni und August sind die beste Wahl für diejenigen, die Touristenrummel auf den Straßen, in Restaurants und an den Stränden unterhaltsam finden und die spät in der Nacht ausgehen möchten.
„Kofein“ oder „Loco Bar“ sind ideal um ein Kaffee morgens zu trinken und Zeitungen oder Buch zu lesen. Nachdem Sie Ihren Kaffee getrunken haben, sollten Sie unbedingt ein Taxiboot mieten und die umliegenden Paklinski Inseln besuchen. An den zahlreichen kleinen Stränden finden Sie sicher Ihr Platz an der Sonne, wo Sie Schwimmen und Sonnenbad genießen können.
Wenn Sie laute Musik, Lärm und Aktion bevorzugen, sollten Sie auf keinen Fall „Kiva“ verpassen. Später vergessen Sie nicht die beste Cocktail Bar zu besuchen – „Carpe Diem“. Reiche und mannigfache Unterhaltung sollte auf jedem Fall in dem Club „Veneranda“ beenden, wo der schönste Sonnenaufgang zu genießen ist.

Die Höchsttemperaturen überschreiten nie die kritische Temperatur der Verträglichkeit für landwirtschaftliche Kulturen (apsoluter Höchstwert war 37ºC im Jahre 1935). Die Jahresmitteltemperatur liegt bei 16,5º C, wobei die Herbstzeit wärmer ist von der Frühlingszeit; das verlängert die Vegetationsdauer.
Von Hotels werden den Gästen im Falle des Schneefalls verlängerter kostenloser Aufenthalt angeboten !
Dank diesem Klima ist die Vegetation auf der Insel Hvar sehr üppig und mannigfaltig, mit vielen ätherischen Pflanzen, so dass man auf einigen Quadratmetern sogar 20 verschiedene Pflanzen finden kann. Die Insel Hvar hat eine durchschnittliche Tagesinsolation von 7.7 Stunden gegenüber einer Bewölkung von 3.8 Stunden (zum Vergleich: in Dubrovnik: 7,0 gegenüber 4,4 Stunden; Nizza 7,2 gegenüber 4,2 Stunden).
Die bestätigte Überzeugung von der positiven gesundheitlichen Bedeutung der sonnigen Gebiete stellte der Welt noch im 19. Jahrhundert "Adriatische Madeira" vor, die die längste Insolation an der Adria mit sogar 2715 Sonnenstunden pro Jahr, mit kleinen Temperaturamplituden, hat. Die "Higienische Gesellschaft'' ist seit dem Jahr 1868 tätig. Das Kurhotel wurde im Jahre 1889, und das Allergiezentrum der HAZU (Kroatische Akademie für Wissenschaft und Kunst) im Jahre 1965 eröffnet.
Gastronomie & Restaurants in Hvar
Gastronomy
Lavander
The smell of lavander, which needs a strong Hvar sun to develop, will remind you of an island, but also the taste of lavander is something to be remembered.
The sweet cake made from lavander which you can get in some restaurants in Stari Grad is something not to be missed.
On the first look just an regular cake with an colour of chocolate or cream does not reveal the secret flavour.
Only after few moments if you breathe deeply you will sense maybe even unknown erotical smell which makes you want for more. In the taste of Hvar lavander, you will sense the beauty and the strength of the island.
Food & Restaurants in Hvar island
In most of the traditional Dalmatian restaurants ("konoba") in Hvar, Stari Grad, Jelsa, Vrboska, Sućuraj .. you can find typical Dalmatian meals such as Pasticada, "Peka" (veal, pork, octopussy), baked lamb, salad from octopussy, black risotto out of cuttlefish etc.
Fried squids are always popular, and also quality grilled fish from Adriatic (dentex, snapper, sea bass, sea bream, amberjack, grouper etc.)
Domestic chefs are true masters to prepare quality fish on grill which is usually served with cooked potatoes or mangel etc.
Be sure to ask for a domestic olive oil with a served fish, put it a lot !! Do not forget a glass of red wine.
There is a saying in Dalmatia; the fish has to swim 3 times, first in the sea, than in the oil (in plate), and third in the wine (in stomach) !!!
It is important to mention that quality fish (sea bass or sea bream) can be "wild" - caugt in the sea, or farmed. Farmed fish has a more percentage of fat in it, this can be hard to recognise somethimes.
Diferent kind of sea shells (warty, oysters, mussels) are extraordinary tasty if they are fresh, and are prepared with spagetti or with sauce.
Crabs from the deep sea of Adriatic - lobsters - make a top of the gastro offer - in some places for a guests with a deeper pocket.

Insel Hvar Strande
Badestrände auf der Insel Hvar
Die Badestrände auf der Insel Hvar sind zum grössten Teil aus Stein und Kiesel zusammengesetzt und liegen in Buchten, umrandet von Kieferwäldern und Macchia. Natürliche Sandstrände liegen meist an der Nordseite der Insel, dank der Tatsache dass der Nordwind (Borra) und die Wellen an der Nordseite kräftiger sind als diejenigen an der Südseite. So ist auch Kieselstein in den Buchten an der Nordseite überwiegend feiner an der Nordseite, was besonders für die Kinder vorteilhaft ist. Seichte Sandstrände findet man neben dem Ort Jelsa und in der Bucht Mlaska neben Sućuraj, und dabei auch an der Südseite auf dem Strand "Česminica" in Sućuraj.
Eins ist dabei sicher – wo immer sie auf der Insel Hvar baden gehen, wartet auf sie kristallklares, reines und unverschmutztes Meer!
