Luxury Vacation in Hvar town on Hvar island

Hvar Attractions

While in Hvar our travel bloggers did plenty of sightseeing. Here are some of the attractions they visited.

Hvar Pjaca

Pjaca is actually the largest town square in Dalmatia.

On one side of it lies the Cathedral of St. Stephen.

And on the other side is the beginning of Riva. Riva seafront is perfect for walking or just sitting and gazing at the turquoise sea.

City Lodge / Loggia

Hvar Loggia

City Lodge is also situated at the Pjaca, but on the other side from the St. Stephen Cathedral. You can admire its renaissance facade and the clock tower. At the beginning of the 20th century, it became a fancy hotel.

Arsenal and Public Theatre

Situated at the right side of the Pjaca looking from the sea and towards St. Stephen's Cathedral lies Arsenal. The first public theatre in Europe was opened in this building.

Franciscan Monastery

Actually, the Franciscan monastery lies near the villa where our travel bloggers stayed. Beach is also near the villa. You can reach it if you walk from Pjaca square over the Riva promenade and you come to it.

The food presents a fusion of modernly decorated sushi with Dalmatian cuisine.

The design of the restaurant is also a mix of authentic stone walls with modern amenities.

Another benefit is the terrace with outdoor seatings. Combined with the downtown location and friendly staff, this restaurant is really the best choice for Hvar dining.

There is also a shaded lounge area next to the Jacuzzi.

The pool can be heated. Our travel bloggers did not need to use this function of the pool, but it could come in handy if you plan to visit this villa out of the main season.

Furthermore, this is a large villa for 12 guests and with 6 bedrooms. It spreads over several floors. It is tastefully decorated and traditional is mixed with the modern.

There is even a gym for exercise in the villa. Our travel blogger used a treadmill.

Day trip from Hvar

There are many choices for day trips from Hvar. Our travel bloggers chose a day trip to Blue and Green cave and the Vis archipelago.

Blue Cave on Vis

Both caves are situated on Vis island so it is recommended for you to take a speedboat tour as our travel bloggers did. They booked a tour from Segorent Yachts with an experienced crew and new boats.

As you can see from the photos it was a group tour, but you can always book a private tour as well because then you can have a tailor-made tour just for you.

On the other hand, if you choose a group tour you will have a chance to meet new people.

Blue Cave

Blue Cave is situated on Bisevo, a small island near Vis. The sun enters the cave from the entrance below the water and makes it aquamarine blue. This is how the cave got its name.

Green Cave

Similar to Blue Cave the sun shines from the top and turns the walls of the cave green. There are two entrances to the cave and it is bigger than the Blue Cave.

Green Cave Vis

Furthermore, this is a trip with swimming stops on beaches of the Vis archipelago.

As you can see this was really a day trip, but totally worth it!
