According to travel experts at Discount Cruises, Hvar is one of the top European islands to visit, with a serene environment with temperatures hovering around 20°C in April – just the perfect weather for unwinding.
While destinations like Spain’s Tenerife and Italy’s Amalfi Coast often dominate the winter sun scene, Hvar stands out as a less crowded alternative, ranking 15th overall in terms of Instagram popularity, with 1,329,400 hashtags.
Though it remains well-loved on social media, it still offers a tranquil atmosphere compared to its more bustling counterparts, and as the experts put it, a place to “escape the crowds”.
Hvar’s allure goes beyond its pleasant temperatures; it has a charming mix of history, pristine beaches, and stunning natural beauty.
The island is known for its crystal-clear waters, mysterious coves and lavender fields, making it a perfect destination for hikers, cyclists, or just about anyone who wants to soak up the sun away from large crowds.
Popular spots like Mekićevica Beach and Dubovica Beach have the kind of serenity that most overcrowded Mediterranean destinations can’t offer.
Some of the more laid-back activities include exploring the cobblestone streets of Hvar Town with its history, which is linked to the Venetian Empire, or enjoying a glass of local wine while people watching Tvrdalj Castle.
In fact, Tripadvisor users have vouched for its tranquility and natural beauty in glowing reviews highlighting the colour and clarity of the water.
“Hvar sea is amazing clean you absolutely can see through it. Untouchable part of nature, sea, sun, sky,” said reviewer Mavrela.
Cris added: “Walk around the island on foot and you will be amazed by the beautiful landscapes and views of Hvar. Long, but very well worth it.”
The Explorer stated: “Stunning old town, marina, old fort and coastline. I was a day tripper on the ferry from Split but would go back and stay longer. Marina area is quite small with a few bars and shops which leads on to the narrow streets and alleys of the old town.”
