The Island of Hvar
The Island of Hvar is the world’s leader in UNESCO heritage sites among islands. Known as the sunniest island in Europe, Hvar boasts a rich history as the birthplace of organised tourism in 1868 and is home to the oldest public theatre in Europe, built in 1612.
Its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters frequently rank among the world’s top ten, while its UNESCO-recognised Mediterranean diet reflects a tradition of healthy living. Hvar's winemaking heritage is equally exceptional, attracting Croatia’s only Master of Wine to craft wines from its unique indigenous grape varieties.
The Paklinski Islands
Like playful children, the Paklinski Islands are scattered across the shimmering waters in front of Hvar’s dazzling palaces and the magnificent Pjaca. Their name originates from paklina, a type of pine resin once used by the people of Hvar in shipbuilding.
Often mistakenly called the Pakleni Islands ("Hell Islands"), the name has no connection to the underworld; instead, it stems from the local term pakol for the resin.
The only thing “hellish” about these islands is their breathtaking beauty. With stunning natural landscapes, exotic beaches, and serene bays, the Paklinski Islands captivate visitors, making it hard to ever leave. For those looking to explore these hidden gems, day boat tours in Croatia offer an effortless way to experience their charm. While boaters hold these islands dear, they are accessible to everyone via excursion boats departing from Hvar, providing an idyllic escape to swim and relax in this natural paradise.
The archipelago’s most renowned islands—Sveti Klement, Marinkovac, and Jerolim—are a feast for the senses. They boast lush vegetation of ancient pines, agave, and exotic herbs, the fragrant essence of the Mediterranean, and the mesmerising turquoise sea, promising an unforgettable experience. To fully enjoy this paradise, the best boat tours in Croatia offer curated itineraries that showcase the most stunning spots.
