Hvar is an island in the Dalmatian group, just off the Croatian coast and is considered to be one of the most beautiful in the world. The whole coastline is studded with secluded rocky coves and finding your favourite could take the whole of your stay in a Hvar serviced apartment, there are so many. Hvar Town is the capital of the island, but there are small villages which are also well worth a visit. If you like peace and quiet, a Hvar holiday apartment in one of the villages would relax you enough to last all year!

One thing you will notice when opening a window in your Hvar apartment rental will be the glorious smell; the whole island is covered with lavender and the slightest breeze off the sea carries the perfume for miles. Along with the rosemary which also grows in abundance, the lavender is the commonest plant you will see as you hike from your Hvar aparthotel.

Hvar Town is a beautiful medieval settlement, dominated by the lovely Cathedral of St Stjepan. The square in the middle is the largest in the whole of Croatia and is a good starting point for all of your sightseeing when staying in a Hvar short stay apartment. The nightlife in the town is based around little cafes, and olives, as one of the most prolific local crops, are a big feature in the cuisine. Good presents to take back home to your friends and family after your stay in a Hvar holiday rental would be olives or lace. The lace is made locally by nuns, using thread from agave leaves, yet another plant which grows on this lovely island.

The weather is unlikely to let you down while you stay in a Hvar serviced flat, but there are indoor attractions as well as the amazing white sand beaches. The Bishop’s Treasury is open to the public and has icons and religious relics from the thirteenth century. But there is no real compulsion to rush around sightseeing as you stay in a Hvar holiday  apartment. The pace is slow, as is so often the case on an island, and with perfect weather, lovely clean beaches and friendly locals, it is just a matter of sauntering out of the front door of your Hvar holiday let, find a nice cafe and sit and watch the world go by – very slowly!
