Hvar There are Port(s) of Entry here

| |
Hvar is an island which lies off the mainland coast of Split on the mainland coast of Croatia, at its easternmost point only three miles off the coast. Sandwiched between the islands of Brač to the N and Korčula to the S, Hvar is blessed with an unusually benign climate and is thus one of the most popular holiday islands in Croatia. The island has a mountainous spine rising to 628 metres at its highest point south of the town of Stari Grad and much of its coastline, especially on the S and W sides, is indented with numerous small coves providing anchorages suitable for use in a wide range of wind conditions. Apart from the usual crops of grapes, figs and olive oil, Hvar is particularly noted for the cultivation of lavender, the scent of which pervades the nostrils even several miles offshore at certain times of the year.
Hvar has plenty to offer the cruising yachtsman, with eight harbours, two marinas and nearly 40 anchorages, of which 18 are listed here. At the western end of Hvar Island is a string of small islands known as the Pakleni archipelago, which constitute a mini cruising ground in their own right.
